Busy Times
We have had yet another very busy week at Beauty’s Haven. I’ve spent a day in court as well as countless hours doing paperwork to ensure that sweet Maggie’s future is the best that it can be – we could most certainly use prayers to make this happen. I have also responded to several calls regarding horses that needed help, but sadly, the outcomes for those horses did not end well. We simply cannot take them all which truly breaks my heart, but with so many special needs horses here at the rescue who require extra care, we are just not in a position to do so.
Today, we have the next round of hooficures commencing, but still have not raised adequate funds to cover the last round of hooficures. Thankfully, a number of donations have been received via our One Dollar Farrier campaign, but there are still a number of horses who do not have sponsorships.
The total cost for the farrier, who trims every four weeks, is approximately $1,000 monthly. While some horses can be trimmed every five weeks, most need to be done more frequently.
Additionally, we have testing for Warrior, Peaches, Bouie, Nickers and Cloud Dancer. These tests are for Cushing’s, Thyroid, Coggins, Chemistry, ACTH, Insulin, CBC, etc. I am once again asking our amazing village of supporters for additional assistance to cover this cost which averages $350 per horse. While these tests are quite costly, please be assured that they are most necessary to ensure the overall health and well-being of our beloved little herd.
We would be forever grateful for any assistance you can offer to help keep our ‘Velvet Nosers’ healthy and happy. Just click on the ‘DONATE’ button below where you can contribute in a variety of ways.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Theresa
