Spirit is doing great! I have some exciting news to share about her on Friday!
Gentleman and Starbuck.
Penelope and Penny greeting Marie – little Penny is growing up!
Cisco is doing great and is ready for a forever home. Katie got on him bareback today while I rode Princess for a few minutes. Cisco would make a nice first horse for a beginner. He’s supposed to be a Haflinger cross but I’m not sure – but I can promise you he is a true sweetheart. He’s only about 14.1 hh and is 20 years young. He gets along with all of the other horses.
This is Missy – she was crowned Miss America on Halloween! She is beautiful and is doing very well in her training. She is looking for a forever home. Missy is a 5 year old TB that never raced. She is built like a tank!
This is a photo I will treasure always that was taken over two years ago. This is HighTower coaxing Baby Legacy (aka Legs) to drink his milk and in the background are Casper and Granny Jewels. Casper runs with Granny Jewels on the other side of Rainbow Bridge – we miss them terribly. Legacy recently celebrated his 3 year old birthday with his adoptive family! I remember the day I picked him up with Blodwyn, one of our volunteers. It was heartbreaking. His mom died of cancer the day before – he was standing over her trying to nurse. He was not a healthy baby and went septic. He got one on one around the clock care for the first 6 weeks he was with us and we almost lost him 3 times but we didn’t give up on him – he is living proof that miracles do happen!
We can’t thank Pat Schmoll of Broad Meadow Farm in Ocala for picking up and bringing us hay while Big Red (truck) is in the shop being repaired from being hit by Buck (a deer). Thank you Pat!
I have lots to update on but once again the day is almost over and there is still much to do. Have a great night everyone!

Hooficures Today
Good morning everyone! Today is hooficure day and Ruby is still looking for a sponsor. Would anyone like to help? The mini’s are all covered.
I want to let everyone know that I did get a short email from Jeanne yesterday. She and Joseph are ok but they are without electricity. Some damage done from falling trees but they are ok. Whew!

Gentleman’s blanket has been ordered!
The blanket for Gentleman has been ordered! We have enough sponsors for his blanket and I can’t thank everyone enough! We still need sponsors for 4 of the 6 hooficures.
Thank you everyone – have a blessed night! With this I’m calling it a day – another busy day planned for tomorrow!

Gentleman & some mini’s…
We are hoping to find some angels to chip in to help buy Gentleman a Thinsulate blanket like the one below. These are being offered at a special price due to an imperfection on the label. It will keep him very comfortable and it won’t weigh a ton – it is much lighter than most blankets and that is a blessing to us humans that put on and remove his blanket. My mare, Beauty, has one of these and it is the best (IMO)! It’s free ground shipping too! This is a “Clearance” item so there may not be many left.
Gentleman needs a blanket – can you help? http://www.smartpakequine.com/smartpink-and-smartblue-thinsulate-turnout-blanket–3907p.aspx
We also have more hooficures coming up at the end of the week for Chico, Lobo, Lily, Ebony, and Ruby. If anyone would like to help with the hooficures it would be greatly appreciated! None of these horses have sponsors for this.
Donations are tax deductible – no amount is too small and any amount is greatly appreciated! If you make a donation please indicate what it is for. Donations can be made via our website at https://www.bhfer.org/donate.html.
Keeping everyone impacted by Sandy in prayers – including the animals.

Today and Sandy
I have been busy putting out some fires here at the rescue today and now the day is about over. Spirit had a accident this afternoon but is doing ok. The winds must have spooked her and she ran into something and injured the side of her face. Even though the winds have been bad I’m not complaining – they could be much worse. I want to thank Pat Schmoll from Broad Meadow Farm in Ocala for picking up and delivering a ton of hay to us today – thanks Pat!. The truck is in the shop for repairs from the deer hitting it.
Even though I haven’t been on the computer I have been praying for everyone and everything in Hurricane Sandy’s path. And I will keep praying.

I’m sure Ambrosia would be very happy to know that she’s helping the other horses here at the rescue. She’s just that kind of mare.

A Keepsake from Ambrosia
Valerie Carter graciously donated a beautiful bracelet made out of Ambrosia’s tail hair! It is 6 3/4" inches of hair and 8" link to link. We are auctioning it off to benefit the horses here at Beauty’s Haven Equine Rescue. The auction will end 11-02-12.
This is a VERY special bracelet and it is absolutely beautiful – pictures don’t do it justice! The bracelet comes in a very nice gift box. We were very blessed to have been part of Ambrosia’s life, even if only for a short time. She was loved and she knew it. Ambrosia will always be quite the mare…
Please E-MAIL all bids to Melissa at: bhfer.melissa@hotmail.com. Bidding starts at $50 and all bids must be in $5 increments. The bracelet was made by Lisa Austin of Crazy4PonyTails. Check out her lovely work at http://www.crazy4ponytails.com/.
Thank you Valerie and Lisa for this beautiful bracelet. Whoever wins the raffle with have a very special treasure to keep forever. When I opened the box to see the bracelet it really hit the heart. I wish Ambrosia had come to us sooner – maybe she would still be with us. She will always be in my heart. God bless and thank you for caring about this precious mare.
