Sad News: RIP Quixote

By

We are so very saddened to report that Quixote passed away early this (Wednesday) morning due to colic. As you may know, we had to evacuate Monday evening due to the Airport Fire here in Trabuco Canyon. Quixote was a bit stressed on Monday evening after we trailered him and Lou Dillon together to safety, but they seemed to settle down and we made sure that they were placed right next to one another once they arrived. Tuesday morning, however, he had a bad case of choke (a blockage in the … [Read more...]

Paint Pony ‘Dallas’ Needs a Forever Home ASAP! (Orange County CA)

By

We were contacted by an equine therapy program about a Paint pony named Dallas. He is not working out well in their program, and the program manager needs to find him a new home as soon as possible. Dallas is a Paint gelding and is approximately 15-17 years old. He is around 700 lbs and is around 14 hands (so cute!). He is current on his vaccines and in great health.

Look at Abe the Little Mule Go!

By

Abe is a four-year old little mule we rescued along with four wild foals last year when they were in danger of being sent to slaughter. Abe was completely unhandled by humans, and it's taken a long time to get him to trust anyone. We sent Abe to a trainer for about nine months so he could learn how to be caught, how to pick up his feet for the farrier, how to load into a trailer and all the other things a little mule should know. He "kind of" understood when he was being taught, and it still … [Read more...]

Immunovet EQ

By

Hanaeleh participated in a short trial, feeding Immunovet EQ fermented wheat germ extract (FWGE) to six of our horses for 45 days. It comes in a powder form, and was easy to add to their grain. Because it is fermented, it is much more stable than other wheat germ options, and has a longer shelf … [Read More...]

Andromeda’s NEW, New Shoes

By

We shared with you a few months ago the story of Andromeda's new wooden shoes. She needed these shoes because she had foundered before she came to Hanaeleh, which was likely one of the reasons she ended up with a killer buyer. Thankfully we were able to rescue Andromeda and she was doing well … [Read More...]
