Hello Everyone,
The new arrivals are doing well. The oldest mare, Bria, was born in 1990, the dark bay mare, Rascal, was born in 1994 and Zoomer, the chestnut, was born in 2000.
When they arrived on Tuesday, they were curious, but cautious. What seemed most intriguing to Zoomer were the minis – it was like he just couldn’t figure out what they were up to and why they’re so small!
On Wednesday past, Dr. Julia came to do exams (including blood tests) on the new arrivals. Andrew came to do hooficures and Dr. Bess came to do much needed dental work on both Dancer and Bria. We truly have a great care team!
I do have some very good news to share, however! Zoomer and Rascal left for their new home yesterday! They are so very blessed to have a loving home just in time for the holidays! We’re very excited for them!
Bria, the senior mare, will likely, live out her life here at the rescue as a special needs sanctuary horse. I know she would be very appreciative to have sponsors to assist with her care, so if anyone would like to make a one time donation or sign up to become a monthly sponsor for this sweet girl, we and she would be forever grateful!
There are many ways in which to donate. You may forward your donation via various means here on our Website or via PayPalMe. Please note that your donation is for “Bria.” If you donate via PayPal, please select the tab “Send Money to Friends or Family,” and no fees will be deducted from your contribution.
Thank you, all, so very much, for your love and support.
Let the Countdown Begin!
Thank you!
Wishing Everyone a Wonderful Holiday Season!
Duke – Forever in Our Hearts
It is with a heavy heart to inform you that my beloved companion and protector, a beautiful German Shepherd named Duke, has gone to Rainbow Bridge.
Duke suddenly collapsed on Monday (Dec 18th) morning for no apparent reason. I rushed him to Dr. Kristi Fox (Blue Run Veterinary Practice). She had just been at the farm this past Friday for a routine exam and vaccinations – she’s the only vet that Duke trusted.
Duke had a very aggressive, high-grade soft tissue sarcoma that most commonly affects the spleen and heart. It’s a highly malignant cancer that preys on blood vessels that can spread rapidly, causing tumors almost anywhere in the body. It’s commonly in the advanced stage before detection, making it virtually a silent killer. I learned that German Shepherds are at high risk for developing this type of cancer which sadly, took my Duke on Monday morning.
I was very blessed when Duke came into my life in 2012 and that he chose me to be his human. Wherever I was, he always wanted to be right there with me – always. He never wanted me out of his sight and he would protect me to no end. I know, without a doubt, that he will forever be watching over me.
I love you, Duke, always.

Three Beautiful Souls Rescued
It continues to be crazy busy here – it really never stops. These three beautiful souls were abandoned on foreclosed property. They arrived in the nick of time yesterday, as it was the first night that temperatures dipped down into the 40’s, accompanied by horrific winds.
I am most certain that these sweet horses were so very thankful when we tucked them into the shelter for the night and provided them with plenty of hay.
Please stay tuned for an update with further details.
MATCH GAME REDUX
With the devastating loss of our sweet Baby Hope last week, our Match Game for Hay seemed of little importance and was temporarily, put aside. We only have enough hay for today, however, and we still have $480 remaining in Matching Funds, so if anyone would like to assist with this need, it would be so greatly appreciated.
There are many ways in which to contribute. You may forward your donation via various means here on our website or via PayPalMe. If donating via PayPal, please designate your donation to ‘Hay Match Game.’ If you select the tab, ‘Send Money to Friends or Family,’ no fees will be deducted from your contribution. All donations are tax deductible and no amount is ever too small.
Thank you all, so very much, for your love and support, as well as for your beautiful, heartfelt messages of condolence for Theresa, Bob, the Beauty’s Haven Family and our precious baby girl.
Warmly,
Jeanne
Another Sweet Mare in Dire Need
It just never stops. This mare is Jo’s friend – they lived together for many years, but she also needs to come to the rescue. Bloodwork was done and the results aren’t great. The mare may not look too bad on the outside, but she has a number of issues and the vet suggested we get her here sooner than later. Cooler temps and rain is predicted, so we’re trying to bring her here today. She needs help with everything: dental, vetting, farrier, supplements, etc.
A dear friend and supporter of the rescue has offered a $300 Match Game whereby every dollar donated to help this mare will be matched until we reach $300. At that time, the $300 in donations will morph into $600! All donations are tax deductible and no amount is ever too small. The mare also needs monthly sponsors to help with her ongoing needs. Automatic monthly sponsorship donations can also be set up via our website.
Would anyone like to make a one time donation or sign up to be a monthly sponsor for Jo’s friend? There are many ways in which to donate. You may forward your donation via various means here on our website or via PayPalMe. Please note that your donation is for “Jo’s Friend Match Game.” If you donate via PayPal, please select the tab “Send Money to Friends or Family,” and no fees will be deducted from your contribution.
Thank you, all, so very much, for your love & support.
