Minis In Need
I had hoped to send out a more detailed update, but as always, something arises and I am unable to do so, but I need to apprise you of an urgent case involving four mini’s. The owners are elderly – both husband and wife are in the hospital and they can no longer care for their precious horses – a 29 year old stud, a 32 year old mare, and their offspring, a 16 year old mare and a 5 year old stud.
Although we are maxed out and have horses coming back to the rescue, we feel that we simply cannot turn our back on these sweet minis. There is a special urgency regarding the two elderly horses and we have a temporary solution as to where we can put them on the farm, thanks to the help of a supporter. They deserve to live out the remainder of their days, no matter how many that may be, in a loving environment and with proper care. They need coggins, full physicals (including blood work), dentals and hooficures. In order to help them, however, we need sponsors. Please – can anyone help with a one time or recurring monthly donation? We can start with pledges – I will get a cost estimate tomorrow after speaking with the vet. We can’t move forward without help from our village.
The two younger minis are in good shape and also need homes. The 5 year old stud has an issue with a back foot deformity that can be managed. The couple who owns the horses have a son who is willing to oversee the younger ones until a home is found (hopefully soon). They do not have to stay together and we’ve recently been advised that the 5 year old stud may have a home offer. I’d hate to think of the 16 year old mare being left behind, so please, if you may be interested in either of the two younger ones, please contact us and we can put you in touch with the owner’s son.
We also desperately need help placing horses that are ready for adoption – Zahara, Rosita, Baby Ray, Sophie, Tinsel, SeAnna, and others. Kandi and Shaker, two National Show Horse mares, need placement ASAP – Kiana will be available after 30 days of training which has been generously sponsored. Additional information will be sent out about regarding these horses.

Classy, A Beautiful Journey – Rainbow Bridge
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.)

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.
