Gabriel Returns to Hanaeleh

Last year we took in Gabriel, a cute little horse we were told was a Friesian cross. He's pretty small for a Friesian, but he's very cute, and has a lovely emo-type mane and tail!

Check Out Our Newly Refurbished Arena and Round Pen!

The Santa Ana winds that tore through our ranch last fall didn’t just destroy several of our shelters—they also blew away nearly all the sand from our arena.
