RIP Dave Seroski

By

Today we said goodbye to Dave Seroski, a friend and supporter of Hanaeleh. Dave passed away suddenly in his sleep last week. Dave was often at Hanaeleh, making any number of things for the horses: flashing reflectors, hay bags, customized rope halters for all of our new horses, a roof for the ATV, arm guards- whatever we needed, Dave would find a way to make it. Dave was also available anytime we had an emergency at the ranch, whether it was a horse who was cast, a horse who was coliccing, or … [Read more...]

Garnet’s Surgery: Days Five through Ten

By

Read about Garnet's previous days in the hospital here. Day Five: When we last saw Garnet, she had a metal tracheotomy plate in order to help her breathe as the area around her larynx was very swollen from the surgery.

Garnet’s Surgery: Days Two through Four

He said that the surgery took a little longer than expected because the infected area that they removed was very hard and there wasn't extra skin to suture; thankfully he does not think that this will affect her healing time or overall recovery … [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...]
