I’d like to ask for prayers and good thoughts for little Frodo. He’s been having a real tough time the last few days and is non-weight bearing on his left front foot. Dr. Barrett was here once again, yesterday, and when he pulled off Frodo’s little clog, he discovered an abscess! It’s oozing out very slowly. We put a boot on Frodo with AnimalIntex to help draw out the abscess, so hopefully, he will soon, feel much better.
Frodo took an indirect lightning strike two years ago and thankfully, survived, but not without experiencing lasting neurological issues. Sadly, he did founder after the strike but he’s a happy go lucky little guy, nonetheless, and we will get this taken care of, I’m sure.
Victoria, another of our precious horses, also took an indirect lightning strike a few years ago and had similar issues. Sadly, she did not survive. She simply, was unable to recover from the founder as she was a sinker, but we loved her enough to let her go to Rainbow Bridge. She was a beautiful mare and was so very loved.
Frodo could also use some help with today’s vet needs as well as with his last vet/farrier visit when x-rays were done and special clogs were made just for him.
A wonderful friend and supporter has come forth, however, and has generously offered to match all donations up to $300 for Frodo as well as Coggins for a number of our horses.
If anyone would like to assist with these needs, donations may be submitted by clicking the ‘Donate’ button below. Please note that your donation is for the ‘Match Game’ for Frodo.
Thank you, all, and please stay safe!
Sincerely,
Theresa
Lightning & Satin update, and a Sweet Surprise!
Lightning and Satin had been staying in the quarantine paddock but yesterday, it was time – they had a much needed bath and then we turned them out into the main paddock.
They seemed to enjoy their new adventure and slowly made their way around the paddock. When they got close to Dancer and Jo, they just kept on grazing. Dancer and Jo kept their distance for awhile, but by this evening, everyone was comfortable.
Thank you to everyone who has helped these two very special horses!
Sincerely,
Theresa
Hey Everyone!
Guess what? I received a surprise gift in the mail the other day from a very special Auntie! It was two big bags of Sneak-e-Snacks, my very favorite treat in the entire world! As you can see by the smile on Katie’s face, I am really enjoying my treats!
Thank you, Auntie Beverly!
Love,
Penny

New Arrivals: Lightning & Satin
Lightning and Satin, the two horses that we have been feeding off-site, arrived and settled in nicely on Wednesday afternoon. As you may remember, several months ago their owner, who had a very serious health issue, reached out to us for assistance. It was apparent when we met the horses that they needed help immediately, but since we didn’t have room for them at the rescue, we opted to feed and deworm them etc. where they were until we could bring them in. They have now gained needed weight and are truly looking much better. Many thanks to Pamela Zarem, owner of Double B Equine Transport, for safely and lovingly transporting her precious cargo to Beauty’s Haven.
Lightning and Satin had their physicals on Thursday and both were very well behaved for Dr. Elisabeth D’Agosto who did their exams and bloodwork. The tests revealed some high and low values which are quite consistent with horses that have not been fed a proper diet. I simply love hearing the sound of them now happily munching on their hay without a care in the world!
Both seemed very appreciative of their “spa day” this weekend when Pam and Pat gave each a much needed bath! Lightning and Satin will go through rehab and will be made available for adoption when they’re ready.
If anyone would like to help with their monthly expenses, it would be greatly appreciated. (Please note that your donation is for Lightning & Satin.)
Thank you, all, and please stay safe!
Sincerely,
Theresa

Special Shoes for Frodo and Beauty
On Wednesday, Dr. Brent Barrett of Equine Podiatry Services came to work on Frodo and Beauty – both have been having issues with their front feet. Dr. Barrett was here for quite some time placing therapeutic shoes on both horses. We really appreciate him and I have to give Frodo and Beauty credit for being such great patients.
Beauty’s feet, however, aren’t in a great way but she’s tough and she knows she means the world to me. I can’t imagine Beauty’s Haven ever being without her – she’s the one that started the rescue. She could definitely use some prayers.
Many thanks to volunteers Marie Riordan, Pat Maynard, and Pamela S. Wood Hall for taking care of all of the chores while Dr. Barrett was here. They are all like the Energizer bunny – they always just jump right in and get things done. They are awesome and we appreciate them so very much!
If anyone would like to assist with Frodo’s podiatry care, please click the Donate button below and indicate it’s for Frodo.
Thank you, all, and please stay safe!

Time is running out for Satin and Lightning
A few weeks ago, we were asked to help three horses whose owner, due to health issues, could no longer care for them. At the time we had a number of pending adoptions that we believed would soon be moving forward, but these adoptions have been postponed for a few months, possibly until September. Since these horses needed immediate help, we opted to care for them in place until we could bring them to the rescue. A few days later, however, one of the horses colicked and the vet recommended we bring her here to ensure she received everything she needed. That was Spring and she is doing well.
We are thereby reaching out to you in hope that we can procure sponsors to help us help these sweet horses.
If you would like to help, you can do so by making a one-time tax deductible donation, or sign up to make an automatic monthly recurring donation via our secure form which you may cancel at anytime. You also have the option of making your donation in honor or in memory of someone.
You can also contribute via PayPal.me. Please note that your donation is for ‘Satin & Lightning.’ Network For Good and/or JustGiving are additional options for you.
If you are not in a position to donate at this time, we truly understand but you can still help by sharing our need amongst family and friends or via social media!
Thank you & please stay safe!
Sincerely,
Theresa
HAY, it’s me… CaryLou!
We need to raise $635 for one ton of Orchard Hay so if anyone could help, it would make me and all my horsey friends so very happy!
Thank you! Gotta go now!
Love,
CaryLou
Feeling so very grateful!
It’s been many days since I’ve had a chance to share the daily happenings at Beauty’s Haven, but we’re still here and as always, extremely busy!
A few days ago Dr. D’Agosto (aka Elisabeth – a volunteer from years ago – so proud of her accomplishments!) came back to work on a number of our horses and implant some microchips. We are so very grateful to Elisabeth as well as to our wonderful village of supporters who have made our wish for a new Microchip Scanner & Chips a reality!
Ruby received a wonderful grooming and acupuncture treatment by Dr. Elisabeth. Later in the day Dr. Mangan examined Ruby’s eyes as she’s been having issues with her left eye – a flare-up of chronic uveitis and her cataract has worsened a bit. Warrior was also having eye issues so he was examined by Dr. Mangan as well, and is now also receiving some meds. We are so appreciative of Dr. Mangan!
Peggy Sue can’t bend her back leg because many years ago, when her humans “helped” her deliver her baby, they shattered her pelvis in multiple places. Thankfully she gets around pretty well. She’s a happy little mare, too.
Thanks to you, our amazing supporters, we’ve been able to help many with special needs. They are all so very precious.
Lastly, thank you to everyone who participated in our second Betsy Rose Birthday Fundraiser. Congratulations to Pamela H. for being the lucky recipient of this very special collection of Betsy Rose themed items!
Wishing everyone a wonderful week. Stay Safe!
Sincerely,
Theresa
