Update: Ulysses

By

Ulysses came to us several years ago a very different horse than the one he is now. He was severely abused by charros, then abandoned and left to die in a riverbed in Riverside.

It took a long time for Ulysses to … [Read more...]

Gypsy continues to rule over all of the horses at Hanaeleh in her usually queenly way. She also seems to rule over the volunteers by refusing to be nice to them unless they give her treats- … [Read more...]
