SAFE! Phoenix, AZ: Two Trail Horses Need Homes ASAP!

By

UPDATE: Hanaeleh was able to place these two horses in a therapeutic riding center nearby! They will be working in their veteran therapy program. We received a call about two horses who need homes in the next few weeks because their owners are moving and have been dealing with medical issues. They have called all of the rescues in Arizona but they have said that they are full. They want their horses to go to a good home, which is why they reached out to us. Both horses have had regular vet … [Read more...]

We Had a Great June Work Day!

We had a small but very mighty group who came out for our work day this weekend! Even though the temperatures were in the high 90s, we were able to paint the entire hay shed, and it looks amazing! We were able to take off all of the signs so we could paint the entire shed, and we had to cut away some of the tree that was starting to grow over the shed. We also had to brush away all of the spiderwebs that had gathered over the past few weeks (we just cleaned it!). Part of the shed had not been … [Read more...]

UPDATE: SAFE! Orange County, CA: 18 y/o Warmblood Gelding Needs Home

By

We received word that Azor has found a new home. Thank you to everyone who helped to share his post! We were contacted by the owner of an 18 year-old Warmblood named Azor. Azor has been a show jumper for most of his life, but he has had some lameness issues on and off, and his owner no longer thinks it is good for him to continue to jump competitively. He can still be ridden, but as he is sometimes off at the trot, she is looking for a potential home where he might be a companion horse. … [Read more...]

Shell Yeah! Welcome Darwin the Tortoise

Hanaeleh is a horse rescue, but we have a myriad of other animals who we have also rescued: chickens, sheep, feral cats, and now, a tortoise! We were told about a tortoise at the Irvine Animal Shelter who needed a home. One of our board members, Charlotte, has a tortoise of her own, and she has … [Read More...]

Don’t Watch the Kentucky Derby

By

This Saturday, May 3rd, the 151st Kentucky Derby will take place. Don't watch it. Don't support it. Let's be brutally honest: horse racing is killing horses. 850+ Dead in 2024 This number- 850+ deaths, was reported by the organization Horse Racing Wrongs. We wish this weren't the case, … [Read More...]
