Hanaeleh Dares Dayna to Be a Ranch Hand #LAUnscripted

By

A few weeks ago, Hanaeleh sent a message to Dayna from L.A. Unscripted on KTLA-TV "daring" her to be a ranch hand at Hanaeleh. To our surprise, she said yes! Dayna and her producer and cameraman drove out to Hanaeleh and she performed all of the chores that our volunteers do: pick up manure, groom the horses, feed the horses and sheep, etc. They also sat down with Elizabeth and did a short interview asking about Hanaeleh. Dayna was a great sport and did everything with a smile and a lovely … [Read more...]

This is a horse that we at Hanaeleh truly wish we had a place for, but we just don't have any open stalls, and so we are asking our network to see if someone else has a place for this very special horse.
