Commonly AsKED QUESTIONS |

All of Hanaeleh’s horses have a $1,000 adoption fee, no matter what their age or training. Hanaeleh has an adoption fee to keep killer buyers or other disreputable individuals from trying to purchase a “cheap” horse in an effort to then turn around and resell the horse. This adoption fee is also a reminder that Hanaeleh does NOT buy or sell horses, but merely charges the fee as a way to attempt to ensure that the horse will find a new, wonderful home. Hanaeleh usually invests a great deal more money into each horse than the adoption fee covers, and most of the horses that come to Hanaeleh would have been put up for sale for much more than our flat adoption fee. |
|
Unfortunately, due to the limited land availability, Hanaeleh does not have the ability to take in retired horses at this time. We hope to eventually purchase land elsewhere in the United States so we can provide a safe retirement facility for all horses who have been loyal companions to their owners through the years, and who deserve a noble end. |

Hanaeleh was created to take in any horse, no matter what the age, breed or training, that is abused, neglected, unwanted or slaughterbound. Because of the huge need for homes for horses at this moment, Hanaeleh tries to focus only on taking in the horses that are in the most danger– i.e. starving, slaughterbound, currently being abused, etc. We do try to take in horses that we hope will be able to find homes, but that is not our foremost criteria, and we do have horses that will probably live out the rest of their lives at Hanaeleh. |
|
What types of horses do you take? |
|
If you are interested in adopting a horse, please contact us either via e-mail or by phone and let us know what type of horse you’re looking for, and for what purpose. If we do not have a horse that is right for you, we may know of one who is looking for a home that isn’t at our facility. If you and a horse are a good match, then we will make an inspection of the new facility where the horse will be kept, and we will deliver the horse. All new adoptors must sign a contract with a first right-of-refusal, and any horses that are brought back to Hanaeleh will have the adoption fee refunded. |

We are always in need of volunteers! Whether you would like to work with the horses, help with small projects around the barn, or work on fundraising, we need you!! Please e-mail us: endslaughter@hanaeleh.com if you are interested in becoming a volunteer, and include any horse experience you may have, how you can help, and your availability! Thank you! |
|
Are you taking volunteers, and if so, how do I become one? |
|
Sadly, no, we do not allow our volunteers to ride the horses for both liability issues as well as the fact that many of our horses need to be trained or re-trained out of bad habits. We regret this fact, but for the safety of everyone and of the horses, we had to implement this procedure. There is plenty of work to be done on the ground, however! |
|
If I become a volunteer, can I ride the horses? |
|
Our website is designed and written by a graduate from the University of California, Irvine, who double-majored in political science and English. If there are any grammatical errors or other such issues, the webmaster denies any wrongdoing, and instead blames the mischievous phookas that have obviously infiltrated the server. Please e-mail: webmaster@hanaeleh.com so they can be dealt with appropriately… err… fixed! |
|
Why would slaughterhouses want skinny horses? |
|
In truth, they don’t– obviously the heavier a horse is, the more money the slaughterhouse will receive. Still, it’s all about money– horses that are skin-and-bone usually are sold to killer buyers for under $100, fetch a price around $350 at the slaughterhouse, and with horse meat going for over $20 a pound overseas, even a skinny horse will bring in a profit of close to $500. |
