2nd Annual Evening at Hanaeleh

October 5, 2015 By ezarkos

We held our second annual “Evening at Hanaeleh” on September 26th.  We enjoyed having people out to see the horses and enjoy a little wine and beer.  Part of the evening included a video and a silent auction, which featured a painting by one of our horses, Quixote!

The evening was successful and we raised approximately $1500 for the horses!  Many thanks to all of the individuals who worked very hard to help make this event a success, including all of those people who donated items to our silent auction.

We hope everyone had a good time at the event, and expect to see everyone again next year!
