a non-profit horse rescue working with abandoned, neglected and abused horses. Stop horse slaughter NOW!

Welcome to Hanaeleh

Orange County’s Only Non-Profit Horse Rescue & Advocacy

Hanaeleh is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) non-profit horse rescue operating in Southern California since 2004 and every penny donated goes to the horses (we are 100% volunteer). We are a verified rescue with Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries. Tax ID 20-3255341

Save a Horse – Donate —> NOW

We rescue all breeds and ages of horses and after we rehabilitate them, we work to find them new loving homes. When horses are not adoptable due to severe neglect or abuse, we provide sanctuary for them to live out their days knowing they’ll always be loved and cared for.

Hanaeleh is dedicated to equine advocacy.

We work to educate the public on the travesties happening to wild and domestic equines in the United States. We are against horse slaughter and strongly advocate for passage of the SAFE Act (Safeguard American Food Exports Act) HR 961. To learn more about humane equine policies and treatment, please visit our Advocacy page.
