Members from Animal Warriors spent a good part of the day helping out – we got some projects done and some of the horses even got a bath! Animal Warriors is a group of like minded individuals from all walks of life who share a common goal of helping animals with active volunteer groups. All of the horses really enjoyed the extra attention.
Aaleyah Belle – there’s that famous tongue doing what it does best!
I think Aaleyah Belle slimed everyone!
Bouie and Frodo got a much needed bath.
JoJo opted to lead the group on a tour. He’s such a big little helper! He even kept his flymask on!
JoJo is always the little charmer!
Mishka got lots of attention – he’s a really big guy. His name suits him well – it means “teddy bear.”
Mishka also got a bath which he truly enjoyed!
Animal Warriors is a non-profit organization – they have a Facebook page and you can visit them on their website. We truly appreciate their help and hope that they come back again!

An Obstacle Challenge & More!
We apologize for the delay in this and the next couple of updates that didn’t go out on time.
September 16th…
Some wonderful news to share about Spirit – she’s ready to go to her new forever home! As soon as we raise funds for her journey to Oklahoma, she will be on her way! Her wonderful adopter has experience with blind horses and the perfect pasture awaiting her arrival! Spirit will even have her very own donkey friend!
Everyone loves Lucy! We appreciate Foxy and Timmie’s mom, Judy, volunteering her time to hold horses for the farrier.
September 17th…
Poor Jingle! The equine complained that it wasn’t fair that the bovine did not have to wear a fly mask. So……
September 18th…
Beauty’s Haven participated in the Equine Trail Sports Obstacle Course event at Black Prong this past weekend where our wonderful volunteers served breakfast and lunch.
All proceeds from the breakfast and lunch went to Beauty’s Haven and $400 was raised to help the horses! Many thanks to ETS, Black Prong, our awesome volunteers, and everyone that made this happen!
September 19th…
Have you ever seen JoJo with his ears pinned back? Oh my! What do you think was going on?
September 20th…
Magic under the morning moon!

DAISY AND MOCHA ARE HOME! HAPPY LONGEARS!
I’d say everyone is happy!
Many thanks to everyone that supported our helping Daisy and Mocha. It’s only because of your support that we are able to do what we do.
BETSY & SAWYER’S EYES & OTHER HAPPENINGS
Dr. Mangan also examined Betsy Rose’s eyes on the day that he came out to check Penny and Spirit. Betsy has lost vision in her right eye over the course of the past several years while her left eye is showing degenerative changes.
Betsy Rose is so cute and didn’t mind her exam at all.
I wonder what she was whispering in Dr. Mangan’s ear?
“Lunch please!”
Blind Mares Update, Donkeys Galore, & the Inimitable CaryLou!
TWO BLIND MARES – UPDATE
Gary will be doing their hooficures tomorrow and on Saturday, Dr. Mangan (AVS Veterinary) will be doing eye exams. On Monday, Dr. Bess Darrow (Tune Ups Veterinary Equine Dentistry) will be taking care of their dental needs.
MOCHA & DAISY – THEY’RE GETTING READY!
Two Blind Mares Arrive – Penny and Spirit
August 15th, 2016
Penny and Spirit arrived and settled in. Thanks Pamela Zarem of Double B Equine Transport for doing such a great job – as usual! This is Spirit.
This is Penny, a 29 year old blind Belgian.
I’ll be keeping checking on the girls via camera through night. I felt better after seeing both of them find their way back to there waterer this afternoon for a drink. They will be getting physicals and hopefully Dr. Mangan can squeeze them into his schedule for eye exams. When we rescued Spirit in 2012, it was thought that she could see an itty bitty tiny sliver of light out of one eye. Penny has been blind her whole life and she’s 29 years young. They will be getting hooficures and Dr. Bess will be here next Monday to do their dental.
I hope Liz is smiling, knowing that the girls are here now. 🙂
RED JOINS LIZ AT RAINBOW BRIDGE
August 11th, 2016
After feeding breakfast to Red this morning, I told him that he was going on a journey to Rainbow Bridge where Liz went to yesterday – that she would be there waiting for him. I explained to him that once he got there, all of his discomfort would be gone. He was a wise older horse – you could just sense that he understood. He got brushed and I gave him some treats.
We started walking and he led me up Frosty’s Knoll to where it would be his final resting place. He grazed for a few minutes. The vet arrived and said hello. As the vet was preparing his solution, Red looked at me then looked to the sky and then looked all around and whinnied out to the others. He looked at me again with a beautiful calmness through bright eyes. I hugged him and reassured him once again that Liz would be there for him. He went very peacefully. He’s no longer in pain, but rejoicing, as he sees Liz and they cross together.
I think maybe Red leaving the day after Liz crossed is what she wanted – it gave her time on this side of the Bridge to gather up others that had gone before her that were waiting on her so that they could all reunite and reflect on their past and then once Red arrived, the family crossed together, leaving the past behind them. But I am absolutely positive that Liz will make sure that they all greet her other animals in the future when they get to the Bridge.
It is actually a very good feeling knowing that they are together and neither one of them are uncomfortable any longer. We will never forget them. They are both loved.
It’s been a very long day and I wish you all a good night. Thank you for caring about Red and for your support.
RED’S MASS – IT’S NOT GOOD
July 18th, 2016
It’s been a very sad day. Our dear friend, Liz, passed this morning. She had been battling cancer. She was a strong and proud woman that loved animals to no end. I admired her courage and her strength, very much. We had promised her that Spirit, Penny, and Red would be taken care of which she was very grateful for.
Dr. Lugo came and took X-rays of the side of Red’s face today. The large mass is a tumor, and, unfortunately, infection has penetrated and eaten away at bone. Red will get TLC and be kept as comfortable as possible until tomorrow morning when he will join Liz at Rainbow Bridge. I choose to believe that she will be there waiting for him and that they will cross together. Then, a new beginning for them – they will run in green pastures with no more pain along with others that have gone before them. They will never, ever be forgotten.
