Introducing: Onyx! 22 y/o Thoroughbred Mare

By

We received a call last week from one of our supporters about a Thoroughbred she had tried to get the owner to surrender to us several years ago. Unfortunately, he refused at that time, but this past week he contacted her and told her that he was moving and needed a place for his horse. We made contact, and he told me over the phone that she was a little thin, but that he was riding her consistently. I was hopeful that she just needed a diet more conducive to an older horse. With that in mind, I … [Read more...]

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...]

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...]

2 Kittens Still Looking for a Forever Home

By

A few weeks ago, we got an urgent message about three little kittens, only about 10 weeks old. Because they were unsocialized and a bit spicy, no one was interested in adopting them, and they were at risk of being euthanized. We hoped another rescue could step in, but at the last minute, when it … [Read More...]

“Batman” Kitty is Looking for Her Forever Home

By

A few months ago, we rescued a kitty who was about to be euthanized because the shelter claimed she was unsocialized. In reality, she was just scared. Thankfully, a foster stepped up and took her in. Unfortunately, she hasn’t been getting along with the foster’s other rescue kitty, so now she’s … [Read More...]
