It is with heavy hearts that we must inform you, that earlier this evening, Tinsel, with assistance from the vet, went to Rainbow Bridge. Tinsel passed very peacefully.

Theresa is understandably, completely devastated to have suffered yet another loss but she is at peace knowing that our sweet, brave girl is no longer in pain and is now healthy and strong as she happily romps throughout the verdant fields of heaven with Betsy Rose by her side.

Arthritis in Tinsel’s hock was severe and recently, her bad days began to outnumber the good. Dr. Ted and Theresa had agreed weeks ago that if it got to the point when Tinsel’s quality of life wasn’t good and all efforts to help her had been exhausted, it would be time to let her go. Tinsel’s discomfort worsened yesterday after she got up from a good roll. A horse just can’t live a good quality of life on three legs. This morning Tinsel told her beloved Mommy Theresa, that it was time to go…….

Thank you all for your prayers and words of encouragement for Tinsel during the past several months as she bravely fought to overcome her issues. We know that Tinsel is also very appreciative of the love and support that she received from each and every one of you.

Betsys-Love

Betsy Rose, the little mare that overcame insurmountable challenges with fierce determination and dignity, lives on through our memories and in our mission to help horses. She taught us perseverance, courage, compassion, patience, wisdom, to never give up, and to believe. She proved that miracles do happen!

Betsy was the light that guided us on an unforgettable journey which led us to realize that love truly is the most powerful spiritual force that exists. She captivated countless hearts from around the world and this year’s Celebration of Life is being held in memory of this little miracle mare that we miss so very much.

In memory of Betsy Rose, we are offering two very special plush fleece blankets. Each blanket measures 50″ x 60″ and includes photos of some of our amazing adventures with Betsy.

Starting immediately, for each suggested donation of $5 submitted online or over the phone that is designated for “Betsy’s Blanket”, you will have a chance to become the owner of one of these heartwarming blankets! Donations may be submitted via various means on our website at bhfer.org/donate.

The second blanket will be offered only at our Celebration of Life. For each suggested donation of $5, made during the event at our raffle table, you will have a chance to become the proud owner of the second blanket.

The names of the new owners will be drawn at our Celebration of Life, which is being held on May 12th from 11:30 am to 3 pm, at Beauty’s Haven Farm and Equine Rescue, Inc., located in Morriston, FL. The name for the blanket being offered online only will be drawn and announced at 2 pm. The name for the remaining blanket, being offered only at the Celebration of Life, will be drawn and announced at 2:30 pm.

Please support our continued work by making a donation and perhaps you will be the lucky new owner of one of these blankets which will surround you with warmth and love!
