Update: Ruby (August, 2020)

By

Ruby is a beautiful Thoroughbred who came to Hanaeleh a few years ago because her owner no longer had the money to feed her. She was losing her ranch and other rescues had taken all of her other horses, but none of them would take Ruby. Ruby's future was uncertain so Hanaeleh offered to take her and rehabilitate her. Over the past few years we have rehabilitated Ruby and trained her under saddle. She is a beautiful mover, although she has never been very happy with anything around her ears, … [Read more...]

Thankfully, we were able to successfully rehabilitate her from that injury. Last November, however, … [Read more...]

Update: Tamahome (August, 2020)

Since we haven't had any open houses or in-person fundraisers since March because of Covid-19, he has been somewhat lonely, so he … [Read more...]
