FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MORRISTON, Florida, October 9, 2017
[dropcaps] B [/dropcaps] eauty’s Haven Farm and Equine Rescue, Inc., is honored to be the recipient of a $5,000 grant from Best Friends Animal Society. This award will greatly assist the rescue with the mounting veterinary fees of their 32 plus equines, many of which have special needs.
As the recipient of this award, Beauty’s Haven can continue its most important mission of raising public awareness about the standards of care that are necessary to keep horses safe and healthy while providing assistance, when possible, to horse owners experiencing a short period of financial hardship. Beauty’s Haven also provides information to members of the community, regarding the steps that must be taken when one encounters an equine that is being abused or neglected. As Theresa Batchelor, President and Co-Founder of Beauty’s Haven so aptly states:
“Horses are majestic creatures that have helped mankind for thousands of years – they give so much and ask for so little. They help mend hearts, they forgive and love unconditionally.”
At Beauty’s Haven, horses that have been neglected, abused, and/or abandoned are given a second chance at life, a life without pain and worry, a life with dignity and respect. Equines that are no longer needed, wanted or are useful to their owners are welcomed at the rescue with the goal of eventually placing them in loving, forever homes. Working together with other organizations, Beauty’s Haven tries to find placement for as many equines as possible before they end up in the slaughter pipeline where they would be at a high risk of being sold to kill buyers, then trucked across the borders to Canada and Mexico, where they would be brutally slaughtered for human consumption.
Beauty’s Haven offers sanctuary to a limited number of horses with special needs regardless of age or breed. The rescue has taken in babies as young as two hours old, pregnant mares and senior horses – the oldest rescue was 43 years old! Oftentimes, Beauty’s Haven accepts equines into their program that other rescue organizations may refuse, due to the time consuming and/or costly rehabilitation needs of the horse. Quality of life is always a determining factor in deciding the future of each horse. Beauty’s Haven is pro-life and never is an equine euthanized to make room for another.
Beauty’s Haven has an excellent care team that includes professionals in both traditional and holistic medicine, dentistry and equine podiatry. A horse will be humanely euthanized, however, when they appear to be experiencing more pain than pleasure, are terminally ill or critically injured and all courses of treatment have been thoroughly explored. An animal is never permitted to suffer. Beauty’s Haven has accepted horses with birth defects, broken bones, mutilations, cancer, blindness, COPD and Cushing’s disease as well as those that were starved and extremely emaciated and had other serious diseases. Other animals in need such as dogs, cats, pigs, birds, goats, a lamb and a baby calf have also found sanctuary at Beauty’s Haven, ‘Where Life Begins, Again!’

Our Rescue of “Misfits”
This is how our day started on Friday. Peggy Sue was down on her bad side and couldn’t get up. When this happens, Peggy Sue doesn’t panic – she just lays there and waits for us to help her. We roll her over and she usually rests for a few minutes and then gets up on her own and runs off. She can’t bend her back leg – it’s stiff – much like a peg leg.
Before Peggy Sue came to us, she was giving birth and her humans tried to pull her baby out. Peggy Sue’s pelvis fractured in three places. She’s a happy little mare that rules the others and she reminds them of that often. We have to put her in a sling to have her feet done, but she doesn’t mind at all.
Peggy Sue is a prime example of why we insist that there is a human on the farm at all times.
We are the “rescue of misfits” but that’s perfectly fine with us – they are all deserving and precious.

Aaleyah Belle’s infamous tongue.
Jiminy and Cricket continue to improve each day. Dr. Mangan (DVM, DACVO) from AVS in Gainesville checked out their eyes and all is good! Cricket’s old eyelid injury is doing great! Dr. Mangan has been part of our awesome care team for years – even before he went to AVS – when he worked at UF. You can learn more about him by clicking here.
Dr. Specht was also at the farm last week to examine Waylon.

Kandi and Shaker are Home & Special Visitors
We are so very thankful to Jayne O’Brien Myrick for opening her heart and home to Kandi and Shaker! Many thanks to Pamela Zarem of Double B, for transporting the girls to their new home. And many thanks to Susie and Catherine for helping with the transportation costs.
These mares are gorgeous and happy and are settling nicely into their new home. I know that I will never again have to worry about their well being.
Jayne adopted Bo from us a few years ago. Bo is a horse that was found abandoned in a tree farm. He was left, ground tied, all day long with no water. He was being a good boy – standing there as he had been trained to do, waiting for his humans to return for him. But they never did. He had no idea that he’d been abandoned, but now, Bo, Kandi, and Shaker are forever safe with their adoptive mom, Jayne. God is good!
Kandi and Shaker’s life before they arrived at Beauty’s Haven in 2010, was a horrible one – it was a large hoarding case of many horses. Shaker survived (many didn’t) with a baby (Kandi) on her side and she was pregnant again. Kandi is her best friend – it means the world to us that they will forever remain together. This was Shaker, lying helplessly on the ground, a few days before they were released to us. Kandi, as a foal, was standing nearby with an older mare named Asiya – both watched on as Shaker suffered through colic. If you look closely, you can see the remains of others that sadly did not survive, scattered in the background.
Michie and Bruce visited last week! We haven’t seen them since their last visit ten years ago! It was great to see them once again and Betsy Rose truly loved the extra attention.
Ruby just loves it when Katie visits with her.
It was really great to see Barbara over the weekend!
We are truly blessed to have so many wonderful friends and supporters!

Jiminy’s Visit with Dr. Bess
This alone could make a horse depressed as well as cause weight loss. This is usually caused by issues with the teeth and it could indicate that he’s experiencing pain in his mouth.
We fed soft, mushy meals to Jiminy and Cricket until they could be seen by the dentist. Both Minis are up there in age – it could be that they don’t have many teeth, or their teeth are worn down, or both.
Dr. Bess and her assistant, Ashley, are always great with the horses and they do a remarkable job!
Jiminy had no idea what was in store for him and we had no idea that his teeth were so bad. We’re very grateful to Dr. Bess for responding so quickly.
Jiminy’s teeth were a mess. He could not chew his food and in the process of trying, it was painful.
You can give a horse all the food in the world but if they are unable to chew it and grind it up in order for the body to process it correctly, they are going to drop in body weight.

A New Chapter for Two Older Mini’s
After visiting with Jiminy and Cricket, and speaking with the owner, we knew we had to find a way as we felt a sense of urgency. Cricket is 32 years young and Jiminy is 29. We came up with an idea. We knew Cookie would be proud to help in this endeavor so we set up Cookie’s Corral for them! I miss Cookie so much – there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of her.
We truly appreciate any and all help for these sweet Minis and we cannot do this without assistance from others. Our village makes this possible!
Thank you all, for your love and support.
