We are very thankful for all of our volunteers near and far  – they are priceless!

Barbara drives over two hours almost every other weekend to come to the farm!  Thank you Barbara and Kevin for your love and support!

Betsy Rose did well this weekend despite the heat which was horrid. The injury to her left hip area and leg is slowly improving. We had just taken her out of her sling from a good nap – she was ready to go out and graze. As soon as Barb put on her grazing muzzle, she was gone – totally reenergized!

Jenny gave Spirit a much needed bath. I am so happy that Spirit will soon have a life outside of the little paddock where she is now living. She will be going to her adoptive home in a few days!.

When you meet Mishka up close and personal, you then realize how big he really is! We’re all really glad that he’s just a big teddy bear.  He towers over Elizabeth and me!

We’re happy to have new volunteers Emma, Sharon, and Karen join our team! Sharon’s husband, Lou, volunteers too!

Time is precious and every minute volunteers give to the rescue is very much appreciated.  We couldn’t do what we do without them!  Many thanks to all volunteers near and far – you make a difference!

This is Sharon and Karen giving Ruby a much needed bath. I don’t know who gets dirtier – JoJo or Ruby!

August 17th…
Daisy and Mocha are getting ready to go to their adoptive home. Dr. Julia did a new coggins on the girls today and they also received their scheduled vaccinations. Tomorrow, they will get a hooficure. I’m going to miss these girls tremendously. Daisy’s story is nothing short of a miracle. I’ll post a short story in the next few days about Daisy and her tumors – from the day we met her to the present. You’ll be amazed!
I gave Betsy Rose a much needed bath today. She had a treatment by Dr. Julia yesterday. Betsy is getting stronger again, thankfully. She has laid down twice in the past week and was able to get up on her own and when she had her hooficure, she did not need the sling!
Betsy Rose was doing well but sustained an injury this past December when a vet who was not familiar with her, tried to sedate her while I went to the tack room to get something. At the time, he was treating Betsy for choke. Betsy almost flipped over backwards when she felt the needle and ended up tearing a muscle and re-injuring an old pelvic fracture. It was so unavoidable – all you have to do is stand behind her and put a hand on each of her hips and she’s fine for needles. I’ll never leave her alone again with anyone not familiar with her history.
Whiskers is so helpful – he loves to dust everything! And he loves to pull the flymaks out of the soaking tub and spread them all over the place. He also loves to play with hoses, ropes, and sponges. My little helper is also getting quite tall! I also want to share some very good news! Whiskers likely has an adoptive home!
I’m really happy to report that Sisco is doing well! He usually can be found hanging out with Mishka.
 
“Mommy Theresa are you going to post a picture of me in this long nose mask? It’s got pink on it! I’m not going to look up. That way people won’t know it’s me!”
Poor JoJo.
Little E is has a few more gray areas. This aging thing catches up to all of us. He’s still very handsome and quite opinionated.

Peek-a-boo! So thankful that Sawyer is still with us. He gave us all quite a scare with his epileptic seizures a couple of weeks ago. He’s a wise old soul who is as kind as can be.

Remember when Betsy Rose received a new gift/friend named Bunny? She has so many friends! Right now, they are all tucked in as the storms are coming.

Remember the day last August when some of the long ears (and Foxy) gathered around – from big to small? I miss Matilda and am so thankful for the time we had with her. Mocha and Daisy are looking for a forever home as pets – they are adorable. And little Foxy – she’s loving life with her mom at their forever home with Bill and Judy

Winds have started to pick up. We are hunkering down and I may be offline much of the time.  We are in the path of Tropical Storm Colin.

Betsy Rose got to go out between the bands of rain today. She’s all tucked in her stall now as JoJo, Jazzy, and CaryLou keep her company. The winds are up. The rains are coming down. This needs to be over.

June 7th…

Calling it a day here. We’re still a bit tired from all of the activity from Tropical Storm Colin, even though it wasn’t too very bad. Ruby and Cookie wouldn’t allow Little E and Peaches in the shelter so we had to move horses around – it’s just been exhausting. But no complaints – everyone is safe and there is no property damage! But now, I hear there may be another storm on the horizon! I hope that’s a rumor!

Remember Montana?
Montana before

A call to authorities from someone who saw a thin, sad, and not so healthy horse chained to a shed led us to this sweet boy. After a couple of weeks of driving by, seeing his health continually decline, they called authorities. Of course, we would take him. He recovered nicely and is now living a life of luxury.  Montana and others are living the good life now thanks to help from supporters!  We couldn’t do it without you!
Montana Lexi

Her registered name was Point to Ponder. We lovingly called her “My Girl.” She was a young, brave, and beautiful TB that was raced 12 times in 8 months before coming to Beauty’s Haven. I’ll let the short video tell the rest of the story. This was a case that reminded us that sometimes doing what is right means letting go – it may be the greatest gift of love there is….

It’s coming! June 14th!  Betsy Rose will be 26 years young and she has a birthday wish!

She’s a very special little mare that defined all odds and survived an ordeal that should have taken her life. But she loves life and wasn’t about to give up. And we never gave up on her. We promised her when she arrived on June 14, 2013 that we would make all of her tomorrows everything her past should have been.

When we asked her what she wanted this year for her upcoming birthday she didn’t hesitate to respond. She wants your help in helping the rescue win $10K for her and her friends.

May 21st, 2016

Good morning! I’m rushing out the door but had to stop to post – we need some help with hooficures and coggins. The vet bills have been mounting but I need to sit down and figure out where we are with those. I know Aaleyah Belle’s is covered provided all of the pledges come in. I’ve been offline so much taking care of the horse I didn’t realize how low our funds have dropped. The mower had to go in the shop and will be a $900 repair bill – we keep the grass around Betsy Rose’s paddock short – she chokes and has other issues and should not be on tall grass – really stressed over this one. I’ll try to get in the office today and figure out where we stand with everything but I do know we need help with $200 for hooficures.

Any amount of a donation would be helpful and very much appreciated – no amount is too small. Our PayPal address is bhfer@earthlink.net. If you donate, please note that your donation is for “hooficures.” There are other ways to donate via our website www.bhfer.org. Thank you!

Betsy Rose gets her hooficures in the sling. Thanks Marilyn for helping out yesterday!

I’m really glad these guys have settled down and are back under their tree that has an overhead mister to help keep them cool and a water bucket. I guess they had never seen ostriches before (there are a pair at the neighbors). It only took about 5 days.  I was so worried they would colic – and we had enough of that with Aaleyah Belle last week.  These guys refused to come up to their water tank so we had to run a long water hose along the ground which got hot in the sun – it was just a mess that made more work.  But hopefully, things are back to normal now.

Sawyer has not had any more seizures, thankfully. He’s not quite himself yet but he’s a bit better each day. It’s suspected that a focal lesion caused his epileptic seizures. His appetite is good, he’s drinking, whinnying at his food, and still loves Lucy.  Sawyer would really appreciate some sponsors to help with his medical needs. If you would like to help, please note that your donation is for “Sawyer”. Thank you.

That is not a smiling face in this photo! The golf cart broke down while I was feeding at the FAR end of the property.  The golf cart is one of the most valuable tools on the farm – just ask any volunteer!

This is unreal.  I wish the black cloud that is on pause over the farm would move on. Now the other golf cart isn’t working! It appears that we will now be hoofing it along with the horses. This isn’t good.

The zero turn mower is in the shop to an estimate of $770 needed in repairs. A motor is needed for one golf cart for about $700. And now the backup golf cart is dead with repair cost to be determined. They all 3 are used to pull the poop spreader, give out hay, etc.  Does anyone have a working golf cart they would like to donate for a great cause and a tax deduction?  Things come in 3’s right? So we’re done? Nothing else will break?
