Southern California: Looking for Stall for 29 y/o Mare

By

We were contacted by a woman who is looking for a place to board her mare for a short time until she can find a more permanent place. Williamette is a 29 year-old mare who has been a medical service animal, and is very sweet and easy to work with. Williamette requires soaked pellets instead of hay- this just means that the pellets are put into a bucket for about five minutes before feeding to her. Her teeth are too poor for hay, and she will choke if the pellets are not soaked. The current … [Read more...]

Raven Goes to School

By

We are excited to share that Raven took a field trip last week to visit Canyon High School! Hanaeleh's president, Elizabeth Zarkos, is an English teacher at Canyon, and she wanted to find a way to help introduce horses to the students. A few years ago, Hanaeleh had a grant that allowed us to bring some horses to Canyon to do Socio-Emotional Learning with the students, but that money ran out. We weren't sure how we were going to manage bringing a horse back to the campus. Luckily, Mr. … [Read more...]

Hanaeleh Work Day 3-19-23

By

We had several people come out to our work day on Sunday, and with their help we were able to get a LOT done! First, we put in two yards of gravel and sand underneath Quixote and Lou Dillon's stalls to help level them out and raise them a little. There is an underground spring that will sometimes bubble up after the rain, and while they are on stall mats with shavings, the stalls have gotten a little cattywampus, and our hope too was that we could raise the stalls just above the water table … [Read more...]

Horses and the Rain

By

This winter has been incredibly frustrating at the ranch. We deal with one winter storm only to be hit a week later by another. It's been difficult on both the volunteers as well as the horses, as the mud makes everything more arduous. This year has also been unusually COLD, which has meant that we … [Read More...]
