Classy is a very sweet pony that came to us many years ago, with an issue known as “roaring.” She had a tracheostomy performed at UF and recovered well.
Shortly afterwards, Classy was adopted out, but she came back to Beauty’s Haven a few years later. She had fractures in her coffin bones and she was a bit of a sinker. But her big brown, beautiful eyes that speak volumes, clearly said she wasn’t about to give up! We were very blessed to be able to provide supportive care and help her through her issues, and for the past few years, she’s been a happy little pony. However, over time, there have been changes in her bones and her arthritis has gotten worse. Acupuncture, boots/pads, supplements, a great farrier – she’s had it all. She’s also had a lot of love from many humans.
Classy has some good days and some not so good days. However, the not so good days have come to outnumber the good days. It is with a very heavy heart that I share that Dr. Ted will be helping Classy to Rainbow Bridge on Friday.
We love her so very much – enough to release her to join the heavenly herd where she will be able to run pain free through green pastures. And, she will happily, be able to whinny once again! (Horses with trachs are unable to whinny.)
“To place your horse’s need for you to let her leave her failing body above your need to keep her with you – that – is the greatest and purest love.” ~ Cynthia Garrett

WE ARE BRACING FOR HURRICANE IRMA
We are riding out the hurricane and no matter which coast it travels up we are going to get slammed. However, we are evacuating a few horses to TN and the small animals to GA. We are boarding up the facilities, replacing / securing boards and posts, filling gas cans, putting ID collars on horses and and marking them, and much more. We need to get some medical supplies including ventipulmin for Penny and APF that many here need – both are expensive. We were able to have the propane tank filled yesterday (it runs the well pump as a source for water) and we were able to stock up on grain, shavings, and hay.
Transportation expenses, boards and plywood, reflective ID collars for 30+ horses, sandbags, some breakaway halters, hardware to secure barn doors, and other necessary items are roughly going to be $3000. I’m sorry to have to continue to ask for help – it literally makes my stomach hurt because I realize there are many in need. But we do need help.
Donations are tax deductible and no amount is too small. They can be made via PayPal at bhfer@earthlink.net (mark the donation for “friends or family” so no fees are taken out. Donations can also be made via our website at www.bhfer.org. Thank you for any and all support, including prayers.
There is much to do – Bob needs to go get boards and plywood ASAP – I think we have a couple of people coming this afternoon that can help him. God bless and stay safe everyone. We hope and pray Irma goes far, far east.

Together at Rainbow Bridge
Alana’s frail little body was just too weak – she left us for Rainbow Bridge this afternoon. Aiden, the stronger of the two, followed his sister to the Bridge a couple of hours later. I was with them when they left – they were never alone since the minute we found them. They were both just so small and frail. But they did matter and they were loved. Thank you to all that prayed for them. They’ll always be in our hearts.
Their mom, Grace, is just a kitten herself. She is in very poor condition. She is getting fluids, as needed, and lots of TLC. She’s trying to get strong and we will continue to do all we can for her. Our little amazing Grace – she’s so thankful for everything done for her. Again, thank you all of caring.

SAVING GRACE – CAN YOU HELP?
August 26th, 2017 – Saturday Afternoon
Our prayers for momma cat to come back were answered, but she is just a baby herself – not even a year old. This had to have been her first (we’ll make sure it’s her last) litter. We took her into the office and gave her water and a little food – she was so hungry. We cleaned her up and put her by the stroller with the babies, but she had no interest in them. She’s exhausted and needs time to relax and regroup.
Grace is only 4.2 lbs (that was after she’d eaten a little and drank some water). She’s so very thin – all bones. She’s been sleeping in her very own bed all evening. Grace did get up to eat and drink a little bit more and she used the litter box. It’s apparent that Grace hasn’t lived a good life. She’s unhealthy – skin on bones and she has some broken teeth. She has no milk to offer her babies and it’s no wonder why her babies were born premature. But she loves humans even after all they did, or didn’t, do for her in her short life – isn’t that amazing? She is amazing – amazing Grace!
We may be an equine rescue organization but we try to help animals that find their way to us. And we can only help these animals because of support from all of you – your support makes this possible. Please consider making a tax deductible donation today – no amount is too small. Just click on the Donate link below. Also, please share this with family and friends.
Please keep Grace and her babies in your prayers – they all have some hurdles to overcome. Thank you all so much for your support.
