UPDATE: Austin

April 7, 2018 By ezarkos

orange-county-horse-rescue-11

Many of you may remember our sweet boy, Austin, who we rescued last year. When we took him in, Austin had been abandoned by his owner because he was blind in one eye. He was underweight and his hooves were infected with a debilitating hoof bacteria. He still has scars on both hind legs from fungal infections that were not treated. We were able to put weight on him and after several farrier visits, we were able to eventually cut away the diseased hoof. In fact, he was doing so well, that we were … [Read more...]

Update: Austin (November 2017)

November 28, 2017 By ezarkos

Hanaeleh rescued Austin about four months ago. When he came in, his feet looked terrible, he was thin, and he had terrible bacterial infections in his hooves and legs. The good news that he is definitely improving! He has not only started to gain weight, but is beginning to put back on the muscle that he lost by not being exercised regularly for so long. He not only gets his hay in the morning and evening, but also a full hay net every night as well! He enjoys his grain and rice bran mash every … [Read more...]

Austin Update

Austin gives our Vice President Jocelyn a quick kiss

Austin is continuing to do well in Hanaeleh's care. It has only been three weeks, but we are already seeing him gain weight and his coat is looking so much better! Last week he got a nice fungal bath to get rid of some of the fungus that is across his back and legs. We think we were able to kill much of the fungus across his back, but his legs are a more severe case, and will require daily medication. Austin's bedsores on his fetlocks are healed, so we took the bell boots off, and now he … [Read more...]

Introducing: Austin, Our Latest Rescue

July 5, 2017 By ezarkos

Austin peeks around the entrance of his stall before we lead him to a new life at Hanaeleh.

Hanaeleh is a small rescue, and as a 100% volunteer rescue with a minimal budget, we do our best to help horses in our area as well as those across Southern California. We work to ensure that our neighborhood horses are safe and in good condition, mostly by being available to help those who are finding homes for their horses. Because we are a very small rescue, we have to adopt out a horse before we are able to take another one in. This is due not only to space, but also to our limited … [Read more...]
