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...]

Guess Who’s Back? Abe, The Little Orphan Mule!

By

Yes, it's true- Abe the little orphan mule has returned to Hanaeleh. When we took Abe to his adoptive home a few weeks ago, we had very high hopes that he would be an exceptional companion for their gelding Rusty. Indeed, things seemed fine for several days and the boys got along splendidly. But then Abe started being more and more aggressive towards Rusty, who is a very submissive boy. Abe started to chase Rusty around and was pushing him off of his food. The owners had to separate the … [Read more...]

Abe the Orphan Mule Gets a Home!

We are so pleased to report that Abe the mule has a new home! Abe came to us last year when we rescued him and four foals from a feedlot that directly ships horses to slaughterhouses. The adult horses had already been shipped for slaughter, but the trader was hoping to get some money for the foals. Auction Horses Rescue facilitated their rescue, and with the help of generous people who offered to pay their bail, we were able to rescue these five little lives from the literal jaws of … [Read more...]

For Adoption: Abe the Mule

By

Abe, the mule is looking for his forever home. We told the story of Abe a few months ago when we rescued him from slaughter last year, and he has spent the last eight months working with a trainer, getting him used to people and able to be handled. Abe about three or four years old, and is very sweet but has a strong fear response. He doesn't try to bite or kick, but he still has difficulty trusting people and is uncertain about people and will try to run away when people come up to him. … [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...]

Winds and Fires in Los Angeles

L.A. Fires Our hearts have been heavy in watching the destruction of the fires in L.A. and seeing the loss of both property and of life.

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...]
