Introducing Devon at Hanaeleh!

By

Last Friday we picked up Devon, a very cute 18 year-old Canadian Thoroughbred.  Devon had hurt his suspensories earlier in the year, and was on stall rest, then ended up contracting EHV at his stable. He was very sick, but his owners were able to take him to the hospital, and after several weeks he looked like he was going to make it. Unfortunately the EHV prevented him from being able to urinate properly, and he was being cathetered twice a day.  His owners were not in a position to be able to … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Brutus’ New Home!

By

We are very pleased to announce that Brutus has found his new home! His new mom, Kelley, is a long-time friend of Hanaeleh. We met Kelley when she was running a private school and her students were coming out to work with horses at Bethany's Gait, when we were sharing the same facility. We lost touch with Kelley, but she came out to our Evening at Hanaeleh event about three years ago. "Scott," she told her now husband, "I am not going there to get a horse. I'm just going there to look at the … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Hope and Grace Practice Real Estate

By

This past weekend Hanaeleh was invited to bring over a few horses to a neighboring facility that was just recently put up for sale. The equestrian property is just around the corner from Hanaeleh, and the agent, Ashlyn Moore, wanted to have some horses in the arena while it was being shown. We thought it would be great to get some more exposure for Hope and Grace, and also to talk with people about Hanaeleh. After our very exhausting workday, Jocelyn and Brandye groomed Hope and Grace and we … [Read more...]

URGENT! 15 y/o Mustang Gelding in Danger- Needs Home ASAP

By

We received a call from a woman in Bakersfield who is desperately trying to find a home for a horse at her stable. He is a 15 year old Mustang gelding, who was caught in the wild when he was just a foal. He was injured during the roundup and has a hip injury.  The people at the stable don't know if he can be ridden, but he is very sweet, has good ground manners, and can be exercised in the arena and round pen. He has a little "hitch" in his gait but it does not seem to stop him from trotting or … [Read more...]

Trabuco Canyon, CA: Two Arabian Mares Need Home

By

You may remember just a few months ago when we rescued Hope and Grace from a neglect situation in Orange County. We are pleased to note that with just some decent farrier and vet care, as well as a lot of food and TLC, both Hope and Grace are up for adoption! We must note that these two mares are very bonded, and their neglect only reinforced their dependence upon one another. We have been working with them to get them more comfortable at being separated, but these two mares will need to be … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Titan’s New Home!

By

We are so pleased to announce that Titan has been adopted! We had several inquiries on our big boy, but we found a wonderful home with a woman and her family down in San Diego. She has had horses in the past, but wanted a schoolmaster who knew his job and would be good for short rides on trail and in the arena. We told them about his previous injuries, and they were not an issue for what they wanted to do with him. The entire family came out to see Titan, and they immediately fell in love! He … [Read more...]

A Horse’s View of the Kentucky Derby

By

This Saturday is the 144th Kentucky Derby. As we have several Thoroughbreds at Hanaeleh, I thought it would be interesting to get a horse's point-of-view of the race. Brutus- 5 year-old Thoroughbred I was bred to race, although you would not know it from my conformation. My mother's name … [Read More...]
