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...]

She adopted him from us and her plan was to train him as a driving horse, but he just is not comfortable driving alone. He has been doing well in arena work and has even done some low jumping (we would rather he not go to a home where he will be jumped a lot, however, as he has a shoulder injury that crops up when he is worked too … [Read more...]
