Hanaeleh Horse Rescue and Advocacy

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

UPDATE: Titan

By

Titan has been feeling very good these past few weeks! He has been enjoying the cooler weather and acting very silly in the round pen, but today he seemed pretty mellow, so Emily got on him bareback and rode him around for a while. He is so easy to ride- especially bareback! We are still looking for a good home for him- because of his previous injury, we are looking for a home that only wants him to walk or trot, as cantering can put undue pressure on his suspensories. We have had several … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Austin

By

It's been a few weeks since we brought Austin back to Hanaeleh, and it was pretty obvious that our big boy needs a job. His feet have finally grown out and he's feeling great! We have been working him in the round pen, but that was getting boring for him- unfortunately with his blindness in his left eye he was uncertain in the arena, and we didn't want to try to have him run in the bigger area where he was uncomfortable. Because he has such a stoic personality, however, we thought it might be a … [Read more...]

Orange County Fairgrounds Equestrian Center

By

There has been some talk circulating around recently saying that the OC Fairgrounds is planning on eliminating the equestrian center. There are three different plans the Fairgrounds are considering, and it does not appear at all in any of the three plans that there is any indication that the Fairgrounds is razing the equestrian center. Rather, there are funds allocated in the plans to upgrade the equestrian center. This may change, of course, but for now, the equestrian center is included in the … [Read more...]

Huge Thank You to Havens Horse Feed

By

We recently received a donation of 60 (yes, 60!) bags of grain from Havens Horse Feed. They donated bags of both their Basis Sport pellets and the Power Plus Muesli. We have been feeding the horses the grain for the past few weeks and the horses LOVE it! We hadn't heard about Havens Horse Feed, but they are actually local in Orange County, and ship across the United States. Their feed is 100% all natural and they have a number of different types of feed available for different needs. You can … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Cody

By

A few months ago, we posted about Cody, a Missouri Foxtrotter who needed a new home. He had bucked off his owner, and she felt that he was no longer safe for her to ride. Cody found a wonderful new home with a woman named Stephanie, who had adopted one of our horses, Montana, a few years ago. Cody has fit in very well with her family, and sent us this update: He is a hilarious character and fits right in with our barn. He is super curious and well behaved. I ponied him all over before riding … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Austin

By

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 … [Read More...]

UPDATE: Hope and Grace

By

Today was farrier day down at Hanaeleh! Our wonderful farrier, Josh Riley, came down to trim all of our horses. Hope and Grace got their second trim since they came to Hanaeleh, and Josh said that their feet look so much better! The seedy toe has grown out, and he was able to cut off the rest of the … [Read More...]
