This past week our president, Elizabeth, was on the Calling All Creatures Podcast. Elizabeth talked about starting Hanaeleh, and a little bit about the horses at Hanaeleh. She also spoke quite extensively about the issues that face horses who are put at auction, and the potential fate that awaits any of horses who are sold at one.

We were able to provide them with regular food, farrier care and veterinary attention, until they were healthy enough to be adopted out. We had found them a lovely home with a couple who was using them for equine therapy in Malibu. They were doing very well until the Malibu fire in February of … [Read more...]
