Shell Yeah! Welcome Darwin the Tortoise

May 12, 2025 By ezarkos

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 extensive knowledge about their care. Two of our other board members have relatives with tortoises, so we felt confident that we could provide the tortoise a safe haven. We weren't certain if the … [Read more...]

Don’t Watch the Kentucky Derby

Unfortunately, these horses are running too quickly for their undeveloped legs, making all oof these horses at … [Read more...]

Check Out Our Newly Refurbished Arena and Round Pen!

Thankfully, we discovered BMI Construction, a small company that does just that- they help to till the dirt in the arena, flattening the area but … [Read more...]
