As we near the end of 2021, we have so much for which to be thankful.
We are thankful to our wonderful village of supporters as well as our amazing team of volunteers, who worked tirelessly to afford us the opportunity of granting a second chance at life to these 21 precious souls who have brought us such an inordinate amount of happiness and joy: Valley Girl, Buckshot, Remi, a precious newborn donkey; Allie, our mischievous Marmalade Tabby; Simba; Elvis and Ford; Miles, who without a doubt was sent to us through the intervention of our beloved Penny; Scooter; Kiah, the sweet little pup who was found scared and alone in the middle of the night with a badly injured paw; Ace, our beautiful Selle Francais; Belle Star; Lady Sophia and Candace; Piper, our sweet little dumpster kitten; three precious bunnies; our Christmas saves, Lennie and Michele; and lastly, Shai, our final rescue of 2021.
But as in the Circle of Life, our joy was tinged with sadness when our beloved Penny, Ace, Nash, Haley, Jasmin and Cleo, a precious newborn kitten, transitioned to Rainbow Bridge, where we know deep in our hearts, that they are all now happily romping about with the Heavenly Herd.
Beauty’s Haven unfortunately had a number of horses returned to the rescue this year, through no fault of their own. We are thankful that they are home with us and we have promised them that they will always be forever safe and loved.
We are so truly honored by your love and support which enables us to be the voice of those sweet and innocent souls who are unable to speak for themselves. And for that, we remain eternally grateful.
Wishing everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Falling Behind!
Contest Update!
Although we have been doing extremely well, we have fallen from second place to third place by a steadily rising number of votes.
Winning $10,000 of free advertising in the K-Country & Wind FM Champions 4 Charity Contest would be a true godsend to Beauty’s Haven as it would bring a much-needed awareness to the plight of all the beloved equines who suffer daily, either through abuse, neglect, sheer ignorance or an unfortunate change of circumstance in the life of their human through no fault of their own. It would give a voice to all the innocent beings who are unable to speak for themselves.
A win would also bring much needed publicity to Beauty’s Haven and perhaps attract potential volunteers and contributors, both of which are greatly needed during these most difficult times. It would also give us an opportunity to highlight how we make a difference and showcase some of the horses that we have been able to help because of support from others. Without support from others, we simply could not do what we do.
As always, we have great confidence that with the support of our amazing little village, we can do this. Just click on the image above or the button below to cast your vote.
Thank you, everyone!
Look at him move!
This is worth all the days of trying to keep Mishka comfortable while working through abscesses in both front feet. There’s about 2000 lbs of horse on those feet! The stocks helped tremendously.
Our gentle giant made a new friend while he stayed in a different paddock closer to the barn – Valley Girl. Today they were turned out together in one of the larger paddocks. They loved it, and we loved watching them!
Thank you to all who contributed toward the stocks, you truly made a difference!

Contest starting today!
Meet our new rescue, Shai
Shai had been “living” in a very small pen with several goats and a steer. She was seized during a cruelty investigation. This mare’s needs were neglected for quite some time. She is shy, untrusting, and afraid of humans. She literally shakes with fear.
Shai has had a very rough life but she has us now – the Beauty’s Haven family. She needs sponsors for her initial and ongoing care, no amount is too small.
Wishing you Peace, Love and Joy
All we want for Christmas…
Our 2022 Calendar is Here!
Only for Love
Meet & Help Our 2021 Christmas Saves
Every year, we try to help a horse in need over the holidays. This year, we are once again asking for your assistance to help two precious souls that have been stuck in a very bad situation for over a year now. Their owner and the ‘system,’ have failed them terribly, for they should have been removed from their home long ago.
One is a gray 22 year-old Thoroughbred mare who won several thousands of dollars during her racing career. She was neglected and starved repeatedly over many years, but she managed to survive. Sadly, some of her herd members were not as lucky.
The other is an older donkey who is very thin and has foundered at some point in the past. She recently had her baby weaned from her. It’s so terribly sad that she was intentionally bred with her feet being in such poor condition.
It is with great hope that x-rays will determine the path we must take in order to help this sweet donkey. I’m concerned that findings may lead to a poor prognosis, but I’m praying for a miracle which will give us the opportunity to make her comfortable and thereby grant her a good quality of life. She’s in good spirits, but obviously quite uncomfortable.
A wonderful friend and supporter has just come forth and has offered to match all donations up to $300 to help them. Initial needs for each will be at least $500 but it may be more depending upon how many x-rays are needed. They also both need ongoing support for their care. You may help by clicking the button below, please note that your contribution is for “Christmas Saves/Match Game.”
All donations are greatly appreciated and please be assured that no amount is ever too small.
Thank you,
Theresa
