SAFE! Urgent: 3 Quarter Horses Need Homes by THIS Saturday 4/24

By

UPDATE: These horses are safe! The owner notified us that she found a person who will take all three horses, so they can all stay together! Thank you to everyone who shared the post- together we can help save them all!   We are hoping the Hanaeleh network can make a miracle happen! There are three horses up in Taft, CA (near Bakersfield) who need homes. The owner is moving (she needs to be out by THIS SATURDAY- 4/24) and her trailer broke and cannot take them with her.

Welcome Noelle!

By

Noelle's Rescue Hanaeleh rescued Noelle in December 2019. Auction Horses Rescue (AHR) had originally tried to rescue her from an auction, but she was purchased by someone else. Concerned about her well-being, they gave the owner their information in case things did not work out. After a short time, the owner called- he could not catch her at all, and it was apparent that she had been given drugs to mask her overwhelming pain during her time at the auction, as she could barely move around. We … [Read more...]

Thank You to Our Amazing Supporters!

By

Our supporters are the most amazing people! We have had several people send the horses treats and supplies from our wish lists at both Chewy and Amazon! Some people ask- do we really go through all of these supplies? The answer is YES! It takes a lot to give the best care to 15 horses, but we think that they definitely deserve it! On another note, we are SO SORRY but Amazon only *sometimes* will let us know who donated items, and Chewy doesn't let us know at all. We want to thank everyone … [Read more...]

Fallbrook, CA: 25 y/o Quarter Horse Gelding Needs Home

Flax is a 25 year-old Registered Quarter Horse gelding (He will be 25 on April 27th).

Flax is good with other horses and is a relatively easy keeper. He is very nurturing with humans, and has a good mind and makes good decisions. His owner rode him … [Read more...]

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!

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...]
