Update: Brutus and His Ball

By

We posted last week that Brutus went to his new home, and we are pleased to say that he is doing so well! He is getting worked regularly, and seems to have settled in quite nicely into his new routine. His new mom Kelley thought he needed a little playtime, so she gave him a yoga ball to play with (he had a ball out at Hanaeleh a few years ago, but he broke it!). She captured this video of him practicing his dribbling skills for next year's world cup. … [Read more...]

Introducing: Onyx! 22 y/o Thoroughbred Mare

By

We received a call last week from one of our supporters about a Thoroughbred she had tried to get the owner to surrender to us several years ago. Unfortunately, he refused at that time, but this past week he contacted her and told her that he was moving and needed a place for his horse.

UPDATE: Brutus’ New Home!

By

We are very pleased to announce that Brutus has found his new home! His new mom, Kelley, is a long-time friend of Hanaeleh. We met Kelley when she was running a private school and her students were coming out to work with horses at Bethany's Gait, when we were sharing the same facility. We lost touch with Kelley, but she came out to our Evening at Hanaeleh event about three years ago. "Scott," she told her now husband, "I am not going there to get a horse. I'm just going there to look at the … [Read more...]

A Farewell to Magellan, Our Beloved Sheep

Magellan the Sheep We are so very sorry to announce the passing of Magellan, one of our Babydoll sheep. Magellan was about 15 years old and was having difficulty moving around due to arthritis. We first noticed that he was having issues last year, and the vet came out and prescribed him some pain … [Read More...]
