Update and reminder…

A couple more pictures from today…

Lou Ann did some feet this am. Frodo says "Nope, not me today!" Little stinker.

Genesis had taken a liking to Princess today on his walkabout. Hum… It was back to the barn for him!

We hope to pick up the mini mare tomorrow that is a sitting duck for the coyotes – someone donated the funds today for her first month’s care! She looks pretty pregnant. But she’s skinny. I hope she doesn’t have her baby tonight.

I’ll update tomorrow where we are with the hay game – last Jeanne updated me we needed $640 but I know a couple of more donations came it. Thanks everyone!

Have a good night everyone and please don’t forget about the raffle for a bracelet made from Gentleman’s mane/tail. It ends on Friday! It was made by Lisa Austin of Crazy4ponytails. Bid increments: $5. Please remember to e-mail your bids to: bhfer.melissa! Current bid: $175

Silly Penny, Genesis, & a Mini Mare Due

March 11th, 2013

Penny helping this am – she’s a donkey that prefers flavored water! Hay – that’s my Propel!

Genesis thinking about going out into the main paddock for a supervised walk this am. He wasn’t too sure at first.

We have been worried terribly about a pregnant mini mare that looks to be due anytime. She has just been living out in a pasture – her feet need done, she needs vaccinations, vetting, dental, etc. There are so many coyotes this year – my fear is they will get her and her baby when she goes down to foal. Well, some good news!
Today, someone donated funds needed for her first month’s care!

This girl is going to need hay too! Please help our current hay fundraiser! We are down from needing $1130 to $700 for the hay purchase! For every $20 donated towards our hay purchase, you will get one entry into a drawing for a beautiful “shoofly” that can be attached to a key chain, purse, etc. that is made by Lisa Austin of Crazy4ponytales from Solace’s hair! So, if you donate $100, you will get 5 chances to win! We will keep going until we meet our goal of $1130 (2 tons of hay).

If anyone would like to help it would be greatly appreciated. Donations are tax deductible and no amount is too small. Donations can be made via our website “Donate” page at https://www.bhfer.org/oldsite/donate.html. Our PayPal address is theresa@beautysequinerescue.org. If you are donating for the hay game please annotate that this is for the “Hay Game” so that we can keep track of our entries!

Paint and mini update

A quick update on this morning’s email about a Paint and a mini mare. The Paint has been reported to authorities and we received an inadequate response. We will be following up on this horse but we must give authorities some time to do their job.

Regarding the mini mare that looks to be pregnant – if we can raise first month’s costs and get some monthly sponsorship for her we’d like to bring her in. She’s going to need everything. It’s been a heck of a day and I’m not sure I’ll be at the computer or answering the phone again today. And I’m sorry if you have PM’d or emailed me and I haven’t responded please forgive me – it’s been very busy. But I’ll be checking email and messages by morning. Right now I need to go visit with the horses for a bit and give myself some time to calm and regroup.

Also – the raffle for Gentleman’s bracelet is up to a bid of $165. Thank you.

Paint and mini

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. I’d like to start the day out asking for prayers. This horse needs help. We’re doing what we can but he is on a vacant piece of land – the same kind of situation like Heart was in. He’s a 1 on the Henneke scale. At least he has a thick coat to help him stay warm on the cold nights.

And there is another mini that needs help – looking very pregnant. Please pray for that somehow we can help these horses. Oh, and then there is a family herd of Arabians we have been asked to help with. The Paint and mini are our focus today.

Clippings and Much Needed Baths

March 9th, 2013

Peggy Sue got clipped today – she’s SO cute!

Gentleman got some attention today too.  He’s so sweet.  His age has caught up to him and he has some not so good days but he has good days too. But when the bad outweighs the good, well, we know at some point we will leave us and the thought of that makes me very sad. He has arthritis and moves slow but he still has lots of life in his eyes and he’s happy. We appreciate each and every minute with him. He is so loved and he knows it.

Solace trying to snooze – there were lots of things going on at the rescue today. Roxie and Jenna gave him a much needed bath.

Bob went to Cedar Key this am to pick up a hood for Genesis with protective eye cup but it didn’t fit – it was too small.  The one we thought we were buying at the hospital yesterday had been too small for him too.  So today I spent hours looking frantically for something here to work and finally found a mask we had for a horse that had Uveitis flare ups.  Sue Ann was visiting from TN and was Genesis’ primary care giver most of the day.  I’m so glad she was here to stay with him to make sure he didn’t rub his face (which he had started to do this am) while I spent hours trying to come up with something to protect his eye.

I have lots more pictures but will update again tomorrow evening.  It’s been an exhausting day – don’t forget to turn your clocks forward tonight!

Genesis’ Eye Surgery

Genesis did well for his surgery this am. The eye was removed and there were no complications.

Genesis is back at the rescue and doing well. He doesn’t like his medications and giving them to him is not an easy task. He’s a lot bigger and stronger than us humans! LOL One swing of his head could send you to next week!

The hospital mask with the eye cup protector didn’t fit him so we are trying to have one made – it’s going to be tough because it’s the weekend. We’ll be keeping close watch on him. He’s staying around the barn tonight.

Thank you all very much for caring about Genesis. His eye no longer hurts and the bill has been paid in full – it’s been a good day with many blessings! Have a good night everyone!

Genesis – surgery in the am

Arriving at the University of Florida for Genesis to have an eye exam. His right eye, the one with the detached lens, has been weepy and causing him discomfort.

Sadly, I left him at the hospital – he will have surgery in the am. All options were discussed and it was decided it would be in his best interest to remove his eye. He has glaucoma and the pressure was causing him much discomfort. It wasn’t going to get any better.

He will have his surgery standing. Putting him all the way down would put him at risk for injury or worse. I will be going back to the hospital in the morning. I feel so bad for him. He is such a good boy. I am sad about this – it’s a shame. Oh – he weighed in at almost 1700 lbs – he is a big teddy bear! The only comfort I find in making decisions such as this is that it will bring Genesis relief from discomfort. Please keep him in your prayers.

I’ll update from the hospital tomorrow. I’m exhausted and am calling it a day. We need to ask for help with his vet bill. They are estimating it will cost about $1500. If anyone would like to help it would be greatly appreciated. Donations are tax deductible and no amount is too small. Donations can be made via our website “Donate” page at theresa. Thank you.
