BHFER July 8 th – 13th Update

July 8th

Another busy day here but I wanted to start everyone’s day out with a smile! Kiana is doing just fine! This makes my heart sing! Kiana has settled in to her new adoptive home nicely! Go Kiana! So proud of you!

Yes, Kiana is loved! I can’t tell you how hard I pray, often, that all horses could live like this. No worries in the world.

Donovan got his acupuncture treatment this afternoon (thank you Elizabeth and Corrine!). Hopefully, he will start sweating again (soon) just as quickly as he stopped. Thank you Marie Riordan for staying late to help Dr. Julia! Donovan has had some bad luck lately – in addition no longer sweating, he injured the inside of his back right right foot just above the coronet band a few days ago. It’s going to take some time to heal and we’ll be having to doctor it twice a day. It’s a really good thing that he just stands and lets us do what we need to do.

If he wasn’t so big I think he’d try to climb in my lap.

Gentleman really loves it when Dr. Julia works on him. And she looks forward to his appointments – he’s another big love! Thank you Janet for sponsoring his treatments!

I had a good talk with them and gave them some nose kisses before they loaded up to go home today. It just isn’t the same, already, without Oscar and Pistol there to meet us at the side door to the office.

As expected – Oscar and Pistol loaded themselves! LOL! These guys, and the mini’s, love to explore new trailers that come in.

Somewhere out there is the perfect home for Serenity and Bryce. I need you all to help us find it. I don’t even want to think about separating them – they are family. Please share them and let’s find them a good forever home.

July 9th

I sure did miss the sound of the 2 am party this morning – and the greeting that we normally get when we leave the house to go to the barn. Love these guys!

Another busy day here that’s coming to an end and I’m looking forward to a shower and bed. Have a good night everyone!

July 10th

Silly ears!

Pistol and Oscar have new toys – they have settled in to their new home just fine! I’m very happy for them but boy, it truly isn’t the same here. And little JoJo – he wants a playmate badly. He’s growing up fast – he has teeth now!

July 11th

Believe me when I say that JoJo needs a donkey friend!

JoJo is still trying to perfect his version of the cricket dance. LOL

July 12th

Everyone lines up for breakfast!

Well, this is something we don’t see on our little road very often. I don’t know how they ended up here but they had to back up all the way back down to the highway. The artwork was beautiful!

"Hello everyone! Remember me? I’m little Bronson – I’m growing up! Mommy Theresa says I’m ready for my forever home! I’m glad I came here to grow up a bit and I and got to meet new friends – but now I’m ready for a new life adventure with my own human! I’m really a good boy!"

July 13th

I wanted to post an update with pics from the weekend but things have been crazy so this will be short. We had a really bad storm yesterday – lightening and thunder were horrible. One of the horses crashed through a gate (he’s ok), a surg…e protector in a storage building got fried (all the circuit breakers tripped) which took down the electric charger for the fencing, a piece of computer equipment in the office got fried, and the wiring between the house and the barn for the camera system may have been zapped (still trying to figure this one out). But our concern is Victoria. She’s an Arabian that is always animated but this morning she didn’t want to move and something just wasn’t right. When we walked her, she was unstable in the rear and her demeanor just isn’t right – the problem appears neurological. She was fine before the storm (we did have another storm in the night). She’s been in a small paddock behind the barn all day where we can observe her – she is eating and drinking but she’s not herself. Dr. Julia will be out in the morning to examine Victoria. Please keep her in your prayers. I don’t know what tomorrow’s cost is going to be but would anyone like to help sponsor Victoria’s exam and treatment tomorrow? We could take pledges.

This was Little E this morning. He is a 30+ year old Arabian that was struck by lightening before coming to the rescue a few years ago.

Sincerely,

Theresa
