December 30th, 2012
It’s a busy day here but I’ve received some asking what some of our needs are. I had every intention of putting together a detailed list for each horse a couple of weeks ago but time has not permitted me to do that. Here is a general list of needs that come to mind if anyone would like to make an end of the year donation most of these things can be ordered online:
Endure flyspray: http://www.smartpakequine.com/endure-sweat-resistant-fly-spray-1042p.aspx?cm_sp=Category-_-TopPick-_-1042
SuperMask with double Velcro latch: http://www.smartpakequine.com/supermask-ii-classic-9615p.aspx?cm_vc=Search Sizes: Horse (6), Arabian (4), Xtra Large Horse (3) EquiSpot: http://www.smartpakequine.com/equispot-fly-control-3412p.aspx?cm_vc=Search
Electrolytes: http://www.smartpakequine.com/appleaday-34p.aspx?cm_vc=Search
Shavings: 60 bags of shavings for: $225 – we get these by the pallet load locally and we pick them up.
Hay: $545 per ton
A case (10) of WellPride Omega3 FishOil (I don’t know the price – waiting for them go get back to me but they did give us a discount before). It was at least $300.
Previcox: We have to order this as it requires a prescription from the vet: 
Thyro-L: We have to order this as it requires a prescription from the vet:
We need 12’ gates to replace at least 3 here that are broken and rusty. They are about $175 each. We are getting a different kind that are stronger. We get them from Sparr in Williston – one of our feed stores.
Regarding some specific horses:
Sunset: We have received enough funds to help her with initial vetting, hooficure, dental, supplements, back board, transport, and some feed and a blanket. I’ll post a need for additional help before her funds are depleted if necessary.
PrimaBella: We have received enough funds for her initial vetting, hooficure, and possibly her dental.
Solace: We don’t know yet – I need to get his latest vet charges and there will be more. He needs supplements and more medication.
The two horses that remain where we picked PrimaBella up: We have received no funding to help with them other than the first and only ½ pasture bale of hay we delivered to them last week. I’m going to check on them now. They need hooficures, dental, and vetting. We can have that done where they are located. We just have no room here. If anyone would like to offer either of them a home please let us know.
I have more I could share but I have to get to town before the feed store closes. Thanks everyone!

A little Solace setback…
We’ve had a little setback with Solace. His temperature was slightly elevated this am and his snots were back – he was coughing. Dr. Ryan opted to leave the catheter in and keep him on the IV meds for now. Next week Solace will be having another ultrasound and his chest will be tapped and drained. Please continue to keep him in your prayers – he is not out of the woods and his immune system is still weak. It’s likely going to be a roller coaster ride with him for awhile but he’s got the right attitude and that helps tremendously! We still have items to auction off on Facebook to help with vetting but we just need the time to get them posted. There are not enough hours in a day!

Solace and Beauty Update
January 3rd, 2013
It was a cold and wet day today. The morning was going ok until Beauty got to feeling bad. I had just gone to the office when Marie called me and said Beauty was down and acting strange. I got back to the barn right away and she appeared to be colicing. She’s got ouchy front feet right now and that wasn’t helping. So she had a double whammy. I called Dr. Ryan – he was coming out anyway to examine the new arrivals and Solace and to do a coggins on Dora (she will be leaving for her new home in a couple of weeks). Bob and I got Beauty up and into the barn and Dr. Ryan arrived shortly after. Dr. Ryan examined her and she was a bit gassy. After some meds set in she was better. She had me really worried. She’s never coliced before.
Solace was also examined and ultrasounded today. His lungs are scared for life but he is doing remarkably well. He didn’t get this way overnight and I will never understand how anyone can see a horse in this condition and turn their head and do nothing. This is basically what Ambrosia went through only she didn’t make it to us in time. She runs with the Heavenly Herd. Hopefully Solace will be with us for a long time to come. His IV cath is being pulled tomorrow and his antibiotics are being changed. Just look at the look on his face – bright eyes and always alert and interested in everything going on around him. He has gained a little weight but being sick hasn’t helped. He’s really an amazing horse with a huge, and I mean huge, love for life. He’s tucked in his stall for the night in his warm fleece and he’s eating a warm mash. Solace is being started on Prasend (Pergolide) which he will likely be on for the rest of his life (cost of about $115/month). If anyone would like to help with this expense I’m sure he would appreciate it (we would too). He’s also being started on EquiPride.
Thank you all for your continued support – please keep the prayers flowing. We will be coming up with some items to auction on Facebook to help raise money for another 2 tons of hay and to help with vetting and related needs. With the weather as it is we are going through more hay than we’d like to be but it is what it is. God bless and have a wonderful night everyone.

The gelding and mare…
The welcome committee when we went to pick them up this afternoon. J
The gelding was ready to go.
They both loaded just fine and seemed ready to leave for the start of the rest of their lives.
I think they are both settling in just fine. The mare is in pretty good shape and is also a very nice horse.
Dr. Ryan will be out in the morning for their vetting. Fabio will be out tomorrow afternoon to do their feet. It’s supposed to be a cloudy/rainy day but hopefully we’ll at least be able to get their manes and tails untangled. The gelding’s is very matted with sticker burrs in it.
PrimaBelle looks much better already. She’s a very sweet mare and will be a pleasant addition to her new family.
So, for tonight, all is better.

Beauty’s Haven & Ivory Pal are teaming up for January!!!
Some great news – Beauty’s Haven will benefit from the sale of the book “Ivory Pal: Born to Fly Higher!” written by Cindy McCauley!
We will receive a portion of the proceeds of books sold from January 1 through January 31! The website to buy the book is: http://www.ivorypalbook.com/
The 2 remaining horses…
This morning we went to check on the 2 horses and the gray gelding was up and about but still not looking like he feels well. I’ve been making calls and trying to figure out a way to bring them in. We can’t leave the gelding there knowing he doesn’t feel well. And I can’t leave the 3rd, remaining horse, all alone. So we’re going to pick them both up tomorrow – hopefully in the morning. The 3rd horse, a mare, has a home to go to but will be here for a couple of weeks awaiting transport. I can’t wait to get him here – he’s got burrs all in what little mane and tail he does have.
These are two lucky horses – their New Year is starting off with a whole new start of life! If anyone would like to help sponsor the gelding it would be greatly appreciated. I’m going to call Dr. Ryan in the am and try to have him out as soon as we get the horses to the rescue. I’ll update again tomorrow afternoon or evening.

3 Horses – the gelding
Remember the 3 horses we took hay to last week? We didn’t have room for them but ending up having to bring 1 of the 3 here because she was colicing. This evening we checked on the remaining 2 horses (mare and gelding) and I am a bit concerned about the gray TB gelding. He didn’t seem to be feeling very well. Temperature, RR, HR were all normal. I’ll check on him again in the morning. Is there anyone that has a spot for him? We won’t leave either horse behind – we need to find them homes and remove them at the same time. They are located near the rescue – near Ocala, FL.
