Misters at Hanaeleh

By

It has been such a horribly hot, humid summer this year, and we have been trying to determine the best way we can keep the horses cool. All of the horses have shelters, and we will rinse them on very hot days (which lately seems to be everyday). For the past two years, we have been searching for someone who would come out to the ranch and install misters, but it has never worked out. We thought about putting the misters up ourselves, but the setups looked very complicated and the entire … [Read more...]

Catching Up with Lou Dillon

By

If you've been supporting Hanaeleh for a while, you probably remember Lou Dillon's rescue. It's been four years since that fateful day and everyday is an absolute pleasure to have him here. If you're new to us, Lou Dillon was found running in the street in Watts, CA (on Lou Dillon Ave). He was about 500 lbs underweight, people were dodging him with their cars and throwing trash at him.

Yearly Teeth Float for Hanaeleh’s Horses

Yearly Dental Check-Up Every year our vet comes out to float all of Hanaeleh's horses teeth. Unlike humans, horses' teeth continue to grow throughout their lifetime. In the wild, horses eat for 10-12 hours a day, so they naturally grind down their teeth. Domesticated horses, however, are fed at … [Read More...]

UPDATE: Garnet – Sept 2023

By

Garnet was rescued by Hanaeleh a little over two years ago. Her previous owner was moving out of state, and couldn't afford to take Garnet with her, but wanted to make sure that Garnet got a safe home. Her concern was compounded by the fact that she believed that Garnet had COPD,  and was unable to … [Read More...]
