A few months ago, we rescued Tilly and Sable from a neglect situation. Their owners very much needed help, and we were thankful that we were able to take both horses. We are very pleased to announce that Tilly is healthy and happy now, and is up for adoption! Tilly is a 22 y/o registered Quarter horse mare. She is a dun color with a dark dorsal stripe down her back, and a beautiful mane and tail (the bottom of her tail had been cut, but it is growing back out now). We have been riding her … [Read more...]
New Adoption and Hershey Returns to Hanaeleh
Although Hanaeleh is a relatively small rescue, and cannot take in every horse who is in need, we do our best to network horses, both internally and externally, in order to help find them new homes. When we were sent a plea from a woman who was looking for a home for Gabriel, a Friesian-Quarter horse cross, however, we knew we would easily be able to find him a home! And we did quickly find this guy a wonderful new horsie mom up in L.A. Elizabeth was scheduled to pick up Hershey from his … [Read more...]
For Adoption: Cindy Lou (22 y/o Paint Mare)- Companion Home Only
Cindy Lou is a 22 year-old Paint mare who came to Hanaeleh in December of 2019. Although we have determined that Cindy Lou would not be a good candidate as a riding horse, she would be an excellent companion horse for someone who needs a beautiful paint mare. We have been working with her for several months and have gotten her caught up on all of her vet and farrier care. She is sound, healthy and has been doing well barefoot. She gets along well with other horses- in fact, she LOVES other … [Read more...]

Jackson is a 20 y/o bay Arabian gelding. He is rideable, and was being ridden by his owner who was 70 years old, before she passed away. He is very sweet and loves attention.

Cody has found a home! Please see our update: https://www.hanaeleh.org/cody-has-a-new-home/ Last year we helped facilitate the adoption of Cody, a cute buckskin Missouri Foxtrotter gelding whose owner was looking for a home for him.

Unfortunately, the new owner is working a lot and just does not have the time to ride Cody, and she does not feel he is getting the attention … [Read more...]
