The blind mare has been caught and is in a stall for the night. I’m told she sustained a couple of more injuries since we saw her this past weekend. There were really bad rains and flooding where she is – some high winds too. I was worried about her getting through the storm ok and was sorry to hear she has more injuries.

I’m going to map my trip now. I will get more pictures and data on others that also need help while I am there tomorrow. We need to help find safe places for all of them.

I am not sure at this point how to handle pledges because I don’t know how/if she will be ok being handled/loaded/trailered to get here. I think I prefer that everyone hold onto your pledges until I get back tomorrow and we get her settled in and examined. I added up what I received via emails today and we’re still short on the total amount needed for her initial vetting plus 6 months care but we’ll address that tomorrow evening. If she is badly injured and if loading seems too much for her and it puts her at risk for more injury then perhaps helping her cross may be best.

In the mean time please let’s all pray for a smooth loading and trailer ride to the rescue tomorrow and that examination determines that her injuries can be treated and that she will be able to lead a comfortable life. After we get here and settled in tomorrow then I will update on her status and the funds pledged/still needed.

Think positive everyone – God bless and thank you for caring! I’m off to bed early in order to get a good night’s sleep – I have a feeling that tomorrow will be a long day.

PLEASE KEEP BEAUTY’S HAVEN

IN YOUR PRAYERS!

Theresa and Bob are battening down the hatches with the news that

they are in the direct path of Tropical Storm Debby.

Please keep Beauty’s Haven in your Prayers.

A dramatic shift in Tropical Storm Debby’s track now has it heading northeast, toward Central Florida.

Debby’s latest projected path now has it moving into Marion County by Friday.

Gov. Rick Scott has declared a state of emergency, urging Floridians to be "very, very, very cautious," and not to take anything for granted from Debby.

It’s that time of the year again – annual wormer kits are needed! We usually have good success with support from others in sponsoring these kits that will last a horse for a year. The kits are $33.69. If you would like to sponsor a kit(s) please email me at bhfer and provide the name of the horse you would like to sponsor. In case someone has already signed up to sponsor that particular horse, I’d like to request that you provide the name of at least one alternate horse. Not all horses are listed below because some are already sponsored. In some cases, with the smaller horses, one kit will provide for two or three horses as noted in the list below.

This is the link to the kits we’d like to order by the end of this coming week. http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=584eb085-1ac4-4111-b25c-a5e25af4b8c7

Story

Thank you! Hope everyone is staying dry – we’re having torrential rains and the winds have really picked up – not a good day for being outside. Had planned on riding this morning but that didn’t happen. We had appointments today for some of the adoptable horses but those were rescheduled. I know we’re going to have quite a bit of erosion to deal with after the storms are done. We need the rain but not like this!

“But mommy Theresa I don’t think I want to try it on again!”

“Ok, well, if it means that much to you – go ahead. I’m not happy about it though.”

“Ok, it’s on and it still is too big – I want my own halter! This is Dora’s and it fits her better. Can you take it off now please?”

“Thanks for taking it off Mommy Theresa – I’m going to go talk with Peggy Sue now to see what she thinks of these halter things!”

Little Domino continues to grow into her ears. She really needs some angels to help with her milk replacer which is costing about $100 a week! If anyone would like to help Domino by signing up for a monthly sponsorship for any amount (i.e. $20) please email me at bhfer. Or you can donate through various methods that you can find on our website on the “Donate” page – PayPal, Network for Good, or JustGive. Donations can also be mailed to us at P.O. Box 53, Morriston, FL 32668.

God bless – thank you and have a wonderful day!

I’m sorry to have to bring this up but we received the vetting costs for MoonShadow. If anyone pledged any amount we would appreciate it if you would go ahead and either send in the donation or call the vet’s office at 352-237-6151.

Any amount is appreciated – it came to over $1000 and all of the charges haven’t been entered into their computer yet – this was just the hospital costs. There were additional expenses when Dr. Ryan treated him here at the farm.

God bless and thank you.

Another trip down memory lane – only a bit further back to 2008. Some may remember little Tiny Tim. His leg was broken several days before he was brought to our rescue. We did everything possible but he went septic and earned his wings. His short story can be found here: http://old.beautysequinerescue.org/tiny_tim_diary.htm

His mom, Misty, was adopted by a wonderful human family and she is absolutely adored! These were taken about 3 weeks ago.

From all of us here at Beauty’s Haven – thank you! It’s support from others that enables us to help these innocent and loving horses. God bless you all!

A trip down memory lane… Some of you may remember Itsuko. She was a TB mare we helped in 2011. Itsuko was born in 1991, had 99 starts in her racing career and earned almost $100K. She had multiple babies. We found her starving and living in an unsafe makeshift backyard pen.

Itsuko the day she came to Beauty’s Haven – June 14th, 2011. She clearly needed help ASAP.

She was skin on bones.

But we saw a lot of light (and gratitude) in her eyes.

This is Itsuko 2 ½ months after rehabilitation – taken August 28th, 2011. What a beautiful mare!

During the first week of September 2011 Itsuko went to Black Beauty Ranch (HSUS) in Texas where she will live a lifetime of carefree living. I think these recent pictures speak for themselves…

It’s really good to share happy updates!
