BH Update 03/06/12

An update on what’s going on here – a lot! The weather has been nuts. The winds have been horrible but we have no right to complain – many have lost lives and so much in the storms throughout the Midwest. Our prayers are with them. Yesterday was the first day in many that it was nice – warm sun and in the high 70’s. But the nights have still been near freezing. We had a terrible wind/rainstorm on Saturday night that caused a lot of erosion. We were without power yesterday morning.

Some bad news regarding Harley. A new pink mass has found in the corner of his right eye. The much larger mass that was removed when he was here was in his left eye. His human mom was right on it and the vet thinks it is pretty much superficial and contained in the 3rd eyelid and it will be removed. Harley is such a sweet and good boy. He’s loved very much and we can’t thank his adoptive parents enough for their love and care for him. I’ll update when I know more. Please keep Harley and his human family in prayers.

Beanie Barbaro his having a great time. He’s spent some time with a few of the horses and he took a field trip with me to the Paso farm. I’ll have to provide details later but here are some pictures of the last few days – including some with Beanie Barbaro.

Dr. Joan giving vaccinations, drawing coggins, etc. and Fabio, one of our farriers doing some trims.

Our transporter, Pam, holding for the trims.

What a beautiful face – and such kind eyes!

And another beautiful mare.

There are Paso mares still needing homes but currently we have applications on all of the ones in the barn. If any are not approved or someone changes their mind and one becomes available I will update. We still have 8 out in the paddocks that we need to bring in and process in order to be adopted. This has been a very tiring endeavor but worth every minute. To see the ones that have gone to their adoptive homes being loved and cared for is awesome. And working with, and meeting, new people in order to help the horses is invaluable. By networking, we can all help more horses.

Little Lily sharing a secret with Beanie Barbaro – he’s the smallest horse on the farm – she’s the 2nd smallest horse!

Many of you may remember dear sweet Heart – here he is with his human family that loves him terribly! He’s doing great.

We hope everyone is having a great week. We still could use help with hay – credits can be called directly into the hay store, Larson’s, at 352-867-8333. Cindy will be here on Friday to do some hooficures – if anyone would like to help with them that would be helpful too!

Thank you all for your continued support!
