Silly Peaches! She doesn’t even like the apple flavored dewormer.

Aren’t they just beautiful? They are all doing better by the day. They are happy horses – that makes me very happy. Serenity, Eliza, Bryce, and Mahogany.

Bryce and Serenity are doing great – they have put on some much needed weight and are happy horses!

Serenity "then" and "now". She really is a very sweet mare. Her life would have been lost to a bullet if we had not been able to help. Thank you all for helping us to help the horses….

Just a quick update on Bella. She has started coughing a lot again. Dr. Julia will be going to examine her as soon as she can work her in. Bella is at a foster home where there’s lots of trees/plants/flowers blooming. We need to find he…r a foster home that isn’t as "pollinated" if possible. If anyone would be willing to foster Bella that doesn’t live very far away from the rescue please let us know. She’s on a new protocol that lasts a few months to treat her breathing issues. I hate to bring her back here to the farm – we have so much dust from the lime rock road and we have very little shade. She would be miserable.

This is Mary. She is a very sweet 27 year young Arabian mare that is looking for a forever home.

Some of you may remember Buttercup? She’s doing great and is just beautiful!

Betsy Rose and the rest of the gang wish everyone a good night!

Sincerely,

Theresa

Romeo is looking better each day! He’s such a kind and gentle soul.

Magnum and Kylie yesterday – he’s a very handsome horse!

The winds are enough to blow you away today!!

Getting tangles out of Magic’s mane – I’ve been using a donated product called "Mane-ly" and it’s great! Magic is a good boy.

It was a beautiful day! I’m happy to report that CaryLou and Harvey have been gelded and they did very well. Wally wasn’t ready yet. This is Katherine Rivera helping – she is a student at UF and is going to be a vet!

Serenity, Bryce, Eliza, and Mahogany, around their hay.

I wish Solace were still with us – he would have enjoyed this weekend’s weather. I thought about him a lot.

Have a great week, everyone!

March 10th

Another day over – I don’t know where time goes. Maybe, hopefully, tomorrow, I’ll be in the office for awhile to respond to PM’s, emails, etc. after the morning rush is over. And hopefully, tomorrow will be better than today. Some of you may remember Sammi and Joy? Well, Sammi was admitted to the hospital today for a scheduled procedure to debride and clean up a leg wound that refused to heal. While Sammi did well today, it is thought that the issue may be bone cancer. Lab tests should be back mid week. This is Sammi and her filly, Joy. Joy was born here in 2009. Her adoptive mom, Kara, adores them. Please pray that Sammi will heal and that she will have many more years ahead of her. I do believe in the power of prayer. Kara – we love you and the girls – keep the faith!

March 11th

The farrier is coming! The farrier is coming! TODAY! I forgot until this morning!

I finally got to give Mahogany a good bath today. She’s so sweet. She munched on some hay in a stall until she was dry and then she went exploring in the main paddock. She seemed brighter today. I’m calling it a day – have a good night everyone. Please don’t forget to say a prayer for Sammi tonight – we hope to have her lab test results back tomorrow.

March 12th

Oscar and Pistol got to play together today! They both enjoyed it! To hear them "talk" and then Matilda joins in on the conversation, well, it’s hilarious!

Indy’s adoptive mom has had her 3rd visit with Indy and, since the 1st visit, they clicked so well! Well, our precious Indy is leaving for his new home in the morning. It’s bittersweet but he will be within a 1/2 hour of the rescue. I’m so happy for him and for his new human!

Bronson had a growth spurt!

March 13th

Indy settled well into his new home today – he made a new friend and they ran and played!

March 14th

Sammi returned home from the hospital and spent some time with her family. It was confirmed that she had cancer. Sammi now runs with the heavenly heard. Sammi – your human mom, Kara, loves you so very much, always – many of us do. Letting go of someone that you love is never, ever, easy. But when you know that you are releasing them from pain that you can do nothing about, well, it is the greatest act of love possible. Kara gave Sammi and her daughter, Joy, many wonderful years together and for that we are thankful. I hope and pray that someday, soon, a cure for cancer will be found. Kara – you and Joy and the rest of your herd are in my prayers tonight – we love you all.

March 15th

It’s so great to have Kylie Chapman back! She’s been out for a couple of months. Someone rear ended her and she’s been going to physical therapy.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

I’ve have lots to update and photos from today, but I just came into the house to grab a bowl of cereal. I’ll post more later but it was a GREAT day! The day started out with a call about Ladybug. She lives just down the road, so I went right over. All of her vital signs and her temperature were normal. She just wasn’t interested in finishing her breakfast which is very unlike Ladybug. Ladybug is a mare that was the victim of a violent attack by another animal in 2010. The attack happened several days before we were able to get her here, and by then, it was too late to save her ear. The dentist will be out to check her mouth this coming week.

The Sun Country Trail Blazers Poker Benefit Ride to benefit the rescue was held today and it was a HUGE success! Many thanks to everyone!

Magic at sunset – beautiful!

Little Cloud Dancer was born here at the rescue in April 2011. His mom (Glory) and dad (Nickers) were part of a herd of horses that we rescued from living in a junkyard in February 2011. Their water source was a man made hole that collected rain water along with anything else that fell to the ground and there was a lot of debris – barb wire, scrap parts, junk cars, etc. Poor Glory was full of lice and had terrible explosive diarrhea. She had two other little ones, Red and Tucker, that also arrived with tummy issues. Fortunately, they all made it and they grew healthy – all the boys were gelded. Red and Tucker were adopted out together. Glory was adopted out with another mini, Shadow, that was one of 14 mini’s we rescued that same year.

This is Cloud Dancer with his mom, Glory, on the day he was born here in April 2011 at the rescue.

This was taken today, 03/08/14, when I visited with Cloud Dancer and his daddy – they look so much alike!

This is Glory and Faith back in February 2011. Both came from the junkyard. Both were very pregnant.

This was Glory the day before we picked them up from the junkyard. All of them had quite a bit of sand in their gut and most had explosive diarrhea.

This is Red and Tucker at their adoptive home.

This is Cloud’s daddy, Nickers, back in February 2011 at the junkyard.

When we count our blessings we count Betsy Rose twice! She’s just the sweetest little mare you could imagine!

Theresa
