Happily Ever After

In 2011, a herd of horses, including minis and several studs, were living in deplorable conditions in a junkyard. As they were not receiving proper care, the authorities became involved and the herd  was relinquished to Beauty’s Haven. One member of this little herd was Nickers, a very sweet stud born in 2008, who was only three years old at the time. Nickers went directly to a foster home where he was gelded soon thereafter and since he was so very much loved, his foster parents decided to adopt him.

Another member of this little herd was a mini mare named Glory who was in foal upon her arrival at Beauty’s Haven, her baby having been sired by Nickers. Glory and. Nicker’s baby, Cloud Dancer. was born here at the rescue in April 2011. Once Cloud Dancer was weaned, he went to reside with Nickers and his adoptive family. After many years of happily residing with their beloved family, they were returned to Beauty’s Haven in 2022, through no fault of their own.

And now, this wonderful little father and son duo is embarking upon a wonderful new journey with Grief on the Go and Tomorrow ‘s Rainbow Coping Academy’s mobile programs as grief and trauma counselors, where they will be bringing joy and healing to children in underserved communities across Broward and Palm Beach counties. Though we miss them dearly, we are so very proud of our sweet boys.
