Lots of Fun at Hanaeleh 5K “Race for the Horses”

By

We had a great time at our 5K this morning! We had a great group of runners and walkers who participated this chilly Saturday in Rancho Santa Margarita. We had some issues with marking the route and we had some runners go off-course because of it, but otherwise things seemed to go relatively smoothly! We've definitely learned a lot from this experience, and future events will be even better because of it! Click here to see race results! Many thanks to Mike from Pacific Coast Race Timing … [Read more...]

Winds and Trees

By

It was windy at Elizabeth's house last night, but she didn't think too much of it because it wasn't that windy.... Sometimes when we have high winds at my house, it is calm out at the ranch, and when I left my house that morning the winds had died down, so didn't think there would be too many issues at the ranch. I was wrong. We came out to the ranch this morning ready to work with the horses, but we were greeted with what appeared to be the aftermath of either a very big party, or what must … [Read more...]

Jewel and Nevada

By

We were contacted last month about a horse who needed a retirement home- she was a beautiful paint horse who had been owned by a woman who had become too elderly to care for her.

She found a home for the gelding, but the mare had an accident at three which caused her to be permanently lame. Although she was comfortable at the walk, she could not be ridden, and needed a retirement facility. Hanaeleh … [Read more...]

We had between 40-50 people come out to see the horses and read about their stories while walking around the ranch. We also had several craft vendors set up in the arena for people to browse … [Read More...]

Shell Yeah! Welcome Darwin the Tortoise

By

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...]
