Over the past many weeks we have been replacing broken fence boards which has been quite the task! We are very grateful to those that donated to help make the paddocks safer for the horses. Our next phase is electric tape. We have spliced and done what we can with what we have, but we need to replace about 1600′ of 1.5″ electric tape. The image on the lower right above depicts the quality of the fencing, and while one can find less expensive tape but it won’t hold up as well – this tape has a 20 year warranty and it contains 15 strands of 12-millimeter stainless steel wire.

The tape in Magic’s (stallion) paddock needs to be replaced as does a couple of our south paddock fence lines. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. The total amount needed to get this done is $259.90.

Would anyone like to help sponsor Magic’s tape? Other horses impacted include Mo, Oasis, Mishka, Valley Girl, Chloe, Aaleyah Belle, Nadia and Venus. Would anyone like to help any of these?

Tax deductible donations can be made here on our website, just click the button below. If you can help, please note that the donation is for “electric tape.” No amount is too small.

Thank you, very much.

It’s dental day for some of our horses! Would anyone like to help sponsor dentals for Venus, Nadia, Mishka, Dancer, and Jo? In addition, some of our “Velvet Nosers” are still awaiting sponsors for their “hooficures,” so if you would like to help your favorite Beauty’s Haven equine have “happy feet,” we would appreciate that as well. The average cost for a hooficure is $40

Just click the button below and please note that your contribution is for either “Dental” or “Hooficure.” No amount is too small and donations are tax deductible.

Thank you so much for your support.

We had a great day at the North Central Florida Outdoor Expo event that was held at the World Equestrian Center on Saturday! We met some awesome new people and saw a number of friends who have adopted from us in the past.

It was great to see Bill and Judy who adopted mini horses Timmie and Foxy a few years ago. Foxy was, and is still, quite the little pistol! Stephanie and her family who adopted Bryce many years ago, also stopped by. Bryce is doing great and may be looking for a friend in the near future. Hopefully one of our horses will meet their need.

It was so wonderful to see Patti and Peter who adopted Annie, Velvet, and Sophie, as well as three precious cats – Jasmine, Jasper and Piper. Last year, Patti and Peter made a heartbreaking decision to let Sophie go to Rainbow Bridge, after a consultation with the veterinarians and us. Sophie had arthritic hip issues for quite some time and Patti and Peter helped her along with it as long as they were able. Jasmine was also lost due to a freak accident which left her with neurological deficits from which she was unable to recover. When we adopt out any animal, we don’t look at it as though we are losing them, but rather, we look at it as gaining more family members.

We met many new people, who sadly had absolutely no idea that some horses end up in horrible situations.

Spreading awareness and getting youth involved is one of the smartest things that we as a rescue can do, for they are the horse owners of tomorrow.

Many people do not realize that students can even get credit hours at nonprofit organizations such as ours to help with a Bright Futures or other scholarships. We are so very thankful that Elizabeth had a few people sign up to potentially volunteer, as volunteers are truly the backbone of this organization and we desperately need many more.

Many thanks to everyone who helped make the day a wonderful success including 92.5 Wind-FM and 93.7 K-Country as well as Karen, who did an awesome job putting together our lovely display boards.

Sincerely,
Theresa

Peggy Sue’s Hooficure

We used the new winches today with the sling when it was time for Peggy Sue’s hooficure. They worked great and were much safer than the manual ones that we’ve been using for years. Winches with the sling are most necessary tools to help equines like Peggy Sue.

Peggy Sue can’t bend her bock left leg at all. Her pelvis was fractured in three places many years ago when her humans opted to ‘help’ her deliver her baby. She’s really a precious and determined little mare and she truly gets around quite well.

A number of our ‘Velvet Nosers’ ore also scheduled to have their hooficures this week, so If you would like to assist with this most necessary need, we would be forever grateful. The overage farrier fee per horse or donkey is $40 and this week’s visit will total $535. Just click on the ‘Donate’ button below and note thot your contribution is for ‘Happy Feet.’
