I don’t know what to say – I’m still having a hard time accepting what happened to MoonShadow. I look out my office window and he’s not there grazing. I see Little E standing by the fence by himself – he and MoonShadow were good friends. In the mornings MoonShadow and Little E could be found at the workshop door – an entryway to the feed room. MoonShadow was doing so well and we’d just started looking for a forever home for him.
Colic is such a dreadful thing and for MoonShadow it struck quick and it was very painful. You could see it in his eyes – I felt helpless. At the hospital we learned that his gut had twisted and the prognosis was grim. We released MoonShadow to cross Rainbow Bridge – where on the other side there would never be pain or hunger or hurt again.
When he came here in late April he was skin on bones and depressed. He filled out nicely in less than 2 months. He was happy and content – he knew love and kindness.
I’d like to thank everyone for your kind thoughts and prayers. If you have emailed me and I haven’t responded I apologize. I’m moving a bit slow and trying to pick myself up and find some good in what happened. But so far I haven’t found any good about it – only sadness – emptiness. I know we shouldn’t question why God makes the choices he does but still – I want to scream and ask “WHY???” MoonShadow had come so far.
We love you MoonShadow – until we meet again fly with angel wings and know that you are greatly missed. I’m sorry, my friend, that I couldn’t take away the pain. I’m sorry we didn’t get to find you that perfect forever home. I’m sorry I can’t reach out and touch your beautiful face. But I am very grateful for the time that you were with us – you are loved by many.
Our MoonShadow runs with his friend Twilight now and the rest of the heavenly herd.

Kits anyone?
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
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!

Halter time for little Domino
“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!

MoonShadow Pledges
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.

Remember Tiny Tim and Misty?
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!

Itsuko Update
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!
