A Ton of Things Happening!

April 29th, 2013

Below is an update that should have gone out yesterday but didn’t – I apologize. I thought I published it but it was still in my “Draft” file.

This update is a little different from my norm – captions to photos are under the photo instead of before. Some of the pictures are from my cell phone so the pictures are not great quality.

Some of our Barbaro family! Today would have been his 10th birthday. He is a true champion, always.

Starlight and Jordan! Starlight is a rescue that we took in a few months ago. She is SO loved and has never had it so good – she is adored!

Jordan and Starlight back at the barn – look at all of those ribbons! Go girls!

Kylie and Roxy exercising horses and having fun at the same time this past Saturday!

Nevada has been just a pasture pal for quite a few weeks now because he was having an issue with muscle in his back left leg. He appeared sound for the last few weeks. Kylie rode him for a little bit at just a walk but cut the ride short because he started favoring that back leg again. He would really benefit from a chiropractic/acupuncture treatment. Would anyone like to help to sponsor this? He will likely need to be adopted out for a light rider doing light work. We’ll give him some more time, and treatments, and see how he does. He’s a very sweet boy.

Ceri is slowly putting on some weight. She’s a very sweet Arabian mare.

CaryLou did ok for his first lead lesson today. He is hysterical!!

What are the babies waiting for? Their mommas are getting antsy!

Ariel has a little bag. 🙂

Strutting again!! It’s hard to take his picture when he is like Velcro!

Penny is going to feel so much better after her clipping!

What a beautiful color she is!

There was an even more darling face under all that hair!

Lucy wants to help!

Penny looks like a different donkey! Thank you Lynda for making this happen!

Check her out – yes that is a heart on her butt! She is so pretty!

Morgan is looking for a forever home.

Solace is doing great.

Lucy is still doing well. She is such a doll!

Have a great week everyone!

Ladybug’s eye

We had an emergency with LadyBug this morning. She somehow ripped her left eyelid almost off. She is the mare that lost her right ear to an animal attack a few years ago – just before we took her in. She lives with her foster mom just down the road from the rescue.

The vet cleaned it up good.

It took a few stitches to sew it up. We won’t know for a few days if the flap will be ok or have to come off.

LadyBug isn’t too happy about it and I know she won’t like having the medication put in her eye each day. She will have to see the vet again in a few days. Please pray for a speedy recovery.

We could really use some help with LadyBug’s emergency vet visit/treatment. If anyone would like to help donations can be made via PayPal to address Theresa or via the “Donate” page (https://www.bhfer.org/oldsite/index.cfm) on our website. Donations are tax deductible and no amount is too small. Credits can also be called into the vet’s office at 352-237-6151 (just let them know it’s for LadyBug). Thank you!

Indy’s 2nd birthday!

Indy is 2 years old now! He’s a very special boy – we love you Indy!

Thank you Lisha (and your family) for giving him such a wonderful home!

Frosty’s Knoll Memorial

The day before the Celebration of Life some of us gathered to place the Memorial Stars around the tree on Frosty’s Knoll. Each point on a star has a name of a beloved Beauty’s Haven horse that has crossed Rainbow Bridge. It’s sad to think of those that have left us but we are very blessed to have had each of them in our life – even if only for a little while.

Each one that has crossed has taken a piece of my heart with them – none of them, not one, will ever be forgotten.

This is Sue on the left standing next to Susan and then Kathy. That’s me and Gabby kneeling down.

Bob and Lynn had prepared the base of the tree for us – they did a great job!

To everyone that donated a point on a star – thank you. Many thanks to Susan and Gabby for making the stars – y’all did a great job – it’s obvious that a lot of love went into preparing them. Now, let’s pray we don’t have to add anymore names for a long time. God bless you all!

Pics from the last few days…

I have tried to get out an update since the Celebration – but it’s been one thing after another. Here are a few pictures – I’ll post more as soon as I can.

Minis were everywhere at the Celebration!

This little boy is like a little Energizer bunny – he’s all over the place! It’s hard to believe he has windpipe issues but we are reminded quickly when we hear him sounding like Darth Vader.

“CaryLou you need to stop pestering Lucy so much!" “But mommy Theresa, I like to play!”

"Playing is one thing but the nipping has to stop, ok?"

164906_10200943161922399_2089402707_n.jpg

"But I like to nip too – I’m a baby and it’s called teething!"

63123_10200943165082478_1334045955_n.jpg

"I’m going to talk to my other mommy about this!"

603584_10200943168562565_1429429813_n.jpg

CaryLou wore himself out!

The donkeys explaining why they should get all of the treats…

Classy getting hugs from Susan.

Gabby could not believe how big Genesis is!

Baby Girl – she is so beautiful!

Peaches is still as sweet as ever.

There’s nothing like getting slimed by Aaleyah Belle!

Look at that tongue!

406992_10200943097680793_810892945_n.jpg

I love this photo!

934709_10200943091520639_150935755_n.jpg

Adora yesterday – she’s not spoiled. Not at all. LOL!

Ciscos chemo area looks really good!

543736_10200957110351101_914522073_n.jpg

Woke up to a busted main water line that goes to the pressure tank. Not sure how that could happen. Mark came and helped Bob to fix it. More has to be done over the weekend on something electrical but we have water – whew!

922860_10200957806448503_83320041_n.jpg

Reese was ultra sounded today and she not pregnant! Whew!

936939_10200957861329875_1840091568_n.jpg

Blackie is doing really well.

601852_10200957930571606_1323541412_n.jpg

Can’t keep a white horse clean! Lace is also doing great.

Genesis and Cookie. I wish all of our paddocks had shade like this.

We have several mini’s that are due for hooficures that are looking for sponsors…. Anyone?

T-shirt orders were processed yesterday – I apologize for the delay but we were a bit overwhelmed with the Celebration of Life. We are currently out of 2XL but will be placing an order soon. Thanks to everyone that has ordered! http://bhfer.bigcartel.com/. We currently only have Small and Medium left in stock but we are placing another order.

Here is a link to a short video of CaryLou – we gave him a bigger ball in hopes he will quit pestering Lucy so much. Enjoy – guaranteed to make you smile!
http://www.youtube.com/edit?video_id=iLBv2ZdysCQ&video_referrer=watch&ns=1

There is a full moon tonight and we have two mini mares that we thought would have had their babies by now – Amy and Ariel. We’ll see what the night brings. Please don’t forget that if you have Internet Explorer 10 you can watch our barn cams via https://www.bhfer.org/oldsite/FoalWatch.cfm. The cams are not on MareStare although we hope to get them there soon – but for now we have a different system. Please don’t hesitate to call if anything seems to be happening! 352-258-9309.

Have a good night everyone and please forgive me if I haven’t responded to your email or PM – I’m trying to get caught up but already tomorrow is Friday and I have spent little time in the office.

Update and Bella

Well, now that the Celebration of Life weekend is over the sun comes out. Despite the weather it was a great weekend! I’ll post a detailed update tonight – I’m still working on an update from the Celebration – trying to get it together with pictures. But as always, I’m getting pulled in many directions. I hope everyone is having a good day!

Oh – I’d like to ask for prayers and good thoughts for Bella. She was found to have a very deep and very long and straight laceration under her tail. It’s in a very bad place but Dr. Ryan opted no stitches – she’d likely rub them and make the area more of a mess. Poor girl. She’s so sweet. She was out with Ceri and the donkeys last night. We have no idea how it happened.

Today, April 16th, 2013

I’m sorry I didn’t get out an update today – it’s been so very busy. And hot.

CaryLou has decided that until he has other babies to play with he’s going to pester Lucy. He walks up behind her several times a day and bites her on the butt and takes off!

Amy now stays around the barn with Lucy and Twinkle/CaryLou. Aerial has been picking on Amy quite. Actually, Aerial has been picking on a few of them. If I had a "thinking time" paddock I’d put her in it for a bit. LOL!

BHFER Update Sunday 04/14/13

Sorry it’s late but things have been more than hectic. Here is this past Sunday’s update:

Ceri – she will fill out nicely. She is very personable and vocal. I adore her!

I visited for a bit with Sunset on Sunday at Pam’s. She leaves for her new home in the morning. She has such a presence about her – she is so kind and caring – she has a huge heart.

Adorable donkeys Penelope and Penny getting some attention today from Diane and Rosie.

This is Katherine, a UF student and volunteer, getting ready to clean Lucy’s trach. Fancy wanted to watch.

And little CaryLou didn’t want to go in his stall when the rains came. Silly boy. His breathing is the same. But no more fevers.

I’ll post more updates hopefully tomorrow evening. We’re getting ready for the Celebration and it’s been super busy!
