Frodo says, “I Know I Can!”

I’d like to ask for prayers and good thoughts for little Frodo. He’s been having a real tough time the last few days and is non-weight bearing on his left front foot. Dr. Barrett was here once again, yesterday, and when he pulled off Frodo’s little clog, he discovered an abscess! It’s oozing out very slowly. We put a boot on Frodo with AnimalIntex to help draw out the abscess, so hopefully, he will soon, feel much better.

Frodo took an indirect lightning strike two years ago and thankfully, survived, but not without experiencing lasting neurological issues. Sadly, he did founder after the strike but he’s a happy go lucky little guy, nonetheless, and we will get this taken care of, I’m sure.

Victoria, another of our precious horses, also took an indirect lightning strike a few years ago and had similar issues. Sadly, she did not survive. She simply, was unable to recover from the founder as she was a sinker, but we loved her enough to let her go to Rainbow Bridge. She was a beautiful mare and was so very loved.

Frodo could also use some help with today’s vet needs as well as with his last vet/farrier visit when x-rays were done and special clogs were made just for him.

A wonderful friend and supporter has come forth, however, and has generously offered to match all donations up to $300 for Frodo as well as Coggins for a number of our horses.

If anyone would like to assist with these needs, donations may be submitted by clicking the ‘Donate’ button below. Please note that your donation is for the ‘Match Game’ for Frodo.

Thank you, all, and please stay safe!

Sincerely,
Theresa

Special Shoes for Frodo and Beauty

On Wednesday, Dr. Brent Barrett of Equine Podiatry Services came to work on Frodo and Beauty – both have been having issues with their front feet. Dr. Barrett was here for quite some time placing therapeutic shoes on both horses. We really appreciate him and I have to give Frodo and Beauty credit for being such great patients.

The shoes really made a difference for Frodo – on Wednesday evening, he was dashing about all over the place!

Beauty’s feet, however, aren’t in a great way but she’s tough and she knows she means the world to me. I can’t imagine Beauty’s Haven ever being without her – she’s the one that started the rescue. She could definitely use some prayers.

Many thanks to volunteers Marie Riordan, Pat Maynard, and Pamela S. Wood Hall for taking care of all of the chores while Dr. Barrett was here. They are all like the Energizer bunny – they always just jump right in and get things done. They are awesome and we appreciate them so very much!

If anyone would like to assist with Frodo’s podiatry care, please click the Donate button below and indicate it’s for Frodo.

Time is running out for Satin and Lightning

A few weeks ago, we were asked to help three horses whose owner, due to health issues, could no longer care for them. At the time we had a number of pending adoptions that we believed would soon be moving forward, but these adoptions have been postponed for a few months, possibly until September. Since these horses needed immediate help, we opted to care for them in place until we could bring them to the rescue. A few days later, however, one of the horses colicked and the vet recommended we bring her here to ensure she received everything she needed. That was Spring and she is doing well.

Due to unforeseen circumstances it now appears that we will have to bring the two remaining horses to Beauty’s Haven as soon as possible. I’m not sure where we will put them, but one thing is certain, we cannot leave them behind.

We are thereby reaching out to you in hope that we can procure sponsors to help us help these sweet horses.

If you would like to help, you can do so by making a one-time tax deductible donation, or sign up to make an automatic monthly recurring donation via our secure form which you may cancel at anytime. You also have the option of making your donation in honor or in memory of someone.

HAY, it’s me… CaryLou!

CaryLou here sharing one of Mommy Theresa’s favorite photos of me when I was just a little baby. She wants me to stay out of trouble while she is busy taking care of everyone here at the farm, so she asked if I could help with this week’s hay run. I said,’Yes!’

We need to raise $635 for one ton of Orchard Hay so if anyone could help, it would make me and all my horsey friends so very happy!

Feeling so very grateful!

It’s been many days since I’ve had a chance to share the daily happenings at Beauty’s Haven, but we’re still here and as always, extremely busy!

A few days ago Dr. D’Agosto (aka Elisabeth – a volunteer from years ago – so proud of her accomplishments!) came back to work on a number of our horses and implant some microchips. We are so very grateful to Elisabeth as well as to our wonderful village of supporters who have made our wish for a new Microchip Scanner & Chips a reality!

Ruby received a wonderful grooming and acupuncture treatment by Dr. Elisabeth. Later in the day Dr. Mangan examined Ruby’s eyes as she’s been having issues with her left eye – a flare-up of chronic uveitis and her cataract has worsened a bit. Warrior was also having eye issues so he was examined by Dr. Mangan as well, and is now also receiving some meds. We are so appreciative of Dr. Mangan!

Tilly and Peggy Sue just love the grass. Tilly has COPD – some days can be quite the challenge for her. She also has a rather large hernia on her side which doesn’t seem to be uncomfortable. She’s a really sweet and happy little mare.

Peggy Sue can’t bend her back leg because many years ago, when her humans “helped” her deliver her baby, they shattered her pelvis in multiple places. Thankfully she gets around pretty well. She’s a happy little mare, too.

Thanks to you, our amazing supporters, we’ve been able to help many with special needs. They are all so very precious.

Congratulations!

Lastly, thank you to everyone who participated in our second Betsy Rose Birthday Fundraiser. Congratulations to Pamela H. for being the lucky recipient of this very special collection of Betsy Rose themed items!

Wishing everyone a wonderful week. Stay Safe!

Sincerely,
Theresa

Zoie’s Happy “Tail!”

This little kitten became an orphan at just two weeks old when her mom was hit by a car while carrying her sister across the road during a thunderstorm. A caring human found this very frightened, hungry and flea infested baby huddled nearby and brought her to Beauty’s Haven where she was lovingly cared for. We named her Zoie.

The next day, we took Zoie to the vet for an exam and bloodwork and thankfully, she was just fine. Only a few days later, we received a call from a long time friend and supporter who was looking for a kitten to adopt! It was a match made in Heaven!

I’m happy to report that Zoie is now all settled in her new home and is doing great! She has a big sister (cat) and a human who loves her to pieces.

Zoie’s vetting is all taken care of (vaccines, microchip, spaying, etc.) thanks to our wonderful village of supporters who have helped us help this precious baby girl. Thank you all! And thank you, Lynda, for opening your heart and home to Zoie.

Please enjoy this heartwarming video featuring our precious kitten, Zoie, who never gave up!
