Help Get Marty to Hanaeleh!

By

Last week we posted about Marty, a 25 y/o Quarter horse gelding who was dumped in an almond grove (you can see his post here). He was starving, and ate almonds to stay alive before a kind woman saw him and rescued him. She has been trying to find someone who will take him, but it is obvious he needs a lot of veterinary care to get healthy, and no one wants to take on that responsibility. We have a stall available and can take Marty, but we need to find a way to get him from Keene, CA to … [Read more...]

Marty was abandoned in the orange groves in Bakersfield. He was covered in mud and hadn't been fed well, but was eating almonds to survive.

The vet has determined that Marty is in his mid-twenties. He is most likely a Quarter horse. The current owner has been giving him a psyllium regimen to get rid of the almond hulls and sand … [Read more...]

UPDATE 2022: Hope and Grace

By

Hope and Grace are two bonded Arabian mares who came to Hanaeleh when their owner could no longer care for them. The were underweight and clearly in need of some love. After we get them back into better health, Hope and Grace were adopted out for a short time as therapy horses, but the facility where they were living burned down during the Malibu Fire in 2018. Hanaeleh always takes back our horses if the new owner is no longer able to care for them so we welcomed them back with open … [Read more...]

Check Out Our Newly Refurbished Arena and Round Pen!

By

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. After the winter rains, we tried dragging the arena to loosen and soften the remaining dirt for the horses, but our current drag isn’t heavy … [Read More...]
