Hanaeleh Horse Rescue and Advocacy

a non-profit horse rescue working with abandoned, neglected and abused horses. Stop horse slaughter NOW!

Help a Horse

Hanaeleh could not exist without so many people helping us help the horses– including our volunteers who graciously come out, week after week, and offer to help groom, muck, exercise, or do whatever task that needs to be done!  We greatly appreciate all of your help.

Volunteer

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us! We are always looking for people to help us with the horses and we also need people to help us with the upkeep of the facility. Check out our volunteer page for more information.

Wishlist

Horses like to use things! We are always in need of “horsie” items and we compiled a wish list of items we could use at the barn. If you can help us by donating any of these items, we greatly appreciate it! See our list here.

Adoptions

Our main focus is on finding our adoptable horses good homes. If you are interested in our adoption process please read more about it on the Adopting pages.

Fundraising and Events

We do several events throughout the year that need preparation and fundraising. We would love more help with those as they come up. Please contact us to let us know you are interested and we will connect you to the right people managing that event of fundraising opportunity.

Horse Advocacy

While we focus on horse adoptions, we are very active in horse advocacy. We want to speak for those who can’t speak for themselves. We have more information on our Horse Advocacy page. If you can help in this area, please check it out.

Lou Dillon Goes to the Dentist

We noticed that Lou Dillon was having some difficulty eating his carrots over the past month, so we had the equine dentist out this week to float his teeth.

Quixote’s Colic Scare

We had a colic scare this week with Quixote. When one of our volunteers fed him his grain, he was uninterested, and was lying down. She immediately called Elizabeth, who came down and discovered that Quixote did have signs of colic. What is colic? Colic is a general term that is used to describe … [Read More...]
