We have supporters in Illinois!

Solace wasn’t feeling himself today – he had a high temperature. He got cold hosed and some Banamine. This evening his temperature is normal and his appetite is good. Hopefully it was just a passing bug.

Are they all not adorable? Lucy, Wally, and yes – CaryLou is pretending to be taking a nap!

Ceri under saddle today for the first time since she has been with us. She’s a lovely Arabian mare.

Kylie and Roxy bathed four horses today – including Beauty (“founder” of BHFER and my heart horse!).

I didn’t watch the Preakness but was very happy to learn that there were no breakdowns.  Congratulations to all – they are all winners in my book!

Good night everyone – thank you all for caring and for your continued support!

The Greatness of a Nation and its Moral Progress can be Judged by the way its Animals are Treated. [Gandhi]

"Never, never be afraid to do what’s right, especially if the well-being of a person or Animal is at stake. Society’s punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way." Martin Luther King Jr.

Twinkle has been coughing for a few days. I had called Dr. Ryan when it started and he said to monitor her and if no better to call him back in a few days so he could come out and examine her and do some blood work. So – I called him back this am and he came out. She has not has a temperature and her appetite is always good. But she sounds like a goose! Her blood work is normal so he thinks it’s allergies. If anyone would like to help with Twinkle’s vetting today the bill is $97. Any amount would be appreciated and no amount is too small. Donations are tax deductible and can be called into the vet’s office at 352-237-6151.

We have several hooficures coming up on Thursday and Friday and would be greatly appreciate help with these too. Stetson is #1 on the list to be done tomorrow along with many others. Peggy Sue is on the list for Friday along with at least 2 others.

CaryLou will have his first hooficure – oh joy! Dr. Ryan checked CaryLou today – his breathing is the same. Dr. Ryan is amazed at how built CaryLou is – it’s like he is on steroids! I was worried about his after math from being double barreled by Amy yesterday but he’s not sore from it at all. He is bored – he’s flattened all of his play balls and has been mounting the mares (and he’s not even 2 months old!) and getting into trouble! Amy kicked him yesterday because he tried to mount her. He’s getting friskier and I’m afraid one of his hooves will get Lucy in the face. So, CaryLou has a new friend named Wally. Wally is a mini colt that is about CaryLou’s height – they can play together. Also, when Amy and Ariel have their babies, I’m afraid that CaryLou and his antics would be too much for them – we don’t want any babies being hurt either. So, the boys will be moved to a paddock of their own with Twinkle at some point soon. I have a cute video of CaryLou and his semi flat ball from today that I’ll try to post tomorrow. I’ll try to get pictures of the boys tomorrow. I did remember to put the camera battery on the charger tonight.

If anyone has any mini or horse size flymasks we could sure use them! We also need horse size break away halters. Have a great night everyone!

LadyBug got all but 2 stitches out today. The vet flushed her tear duct and the remaining stitches will come out in a week. She is really glad she no longer has to wear the eye cup.

Lucy munching on her forage today. Her jaws and tongue are working nicely.

It’s been very busy these past few days. We laid 2 pallets of sod on Friday – just before the weekend showers. Hopefully, it will help some of the erosion issues. Ladybug’s eye is doing great. The vet will be looking at it again tomorrow and hopefully the stitches will be coming out.

Stetson was very good for vetting last Friday. He had quite a few ticks on him but was great about having them removed – he even allowed one to be pulled out of in his ear without a fuss. His teeth are horrible and his feet need to be done. We’ll get it all taken care of in the next few days. We could use some help with his care. If anyone would like to help sponsor him please let me know. No amount is too small.

Stetson is more animated each day. He does love his hay! CaryLou will run the fence line and paw the ground like he is challenging Stetson – it’s pretty comical. I’ll try to get pictures of it tomorrow.

Cisco, Tia, and Tess are all settled into their adoptive home and are doing great. All horses should be this lucky!

Tess and her mom, Tia, are only 4 years apart – they will have a happy life together and Cisco has little herd of two to watch over. I’m happy for everyone! This is Tess with her adopted human mom, Michelle.

I keep forgetting to post a picture of one of the Memorial Stars that were placed on Frosty’s Knoll. They are really beautiful and made with a lot of love. Susan and Gabby did a great job. Thank you to everyone that participated in this fundraiser that will be with us forever.

Ariel’s bag is getting baggier.

CaryLou being a brat during a lead lesson! LOL!!

Sisco is doing well. The area where the cancer was looks good. There is one, very small spot, that we’re continuing to watch and we are applying cream to it.

Have a good night everyone. We’re getting ready for the cold weather. From 88 degrees today to 44 degrees tonight – I’d say that is a drastic change. Please pray that we don’t have any colic’s and that the mares don’t foal tonight. It’s supposed to be the last cold night.

It was another busy day at the rescue – there were a dozen hooficures done and some dental work was done too. Many thanks to Marie, Bob, Ginger, Kayla, Judy, Fabio, and Dr. Bess for all that was done in the hours I was gone – as always – we appreciate you all and your support. Marie worked super overtime and must be exhausted tonight!

Jenny and I left in the morning to see the stud – I had decided to call him Stetson. For some reason that name came to me the first time I saw a picture of him. So, meet Stetson…

He is thin, very thin.

Very kind eyes that looked a bit worried.

We left the farm this morning to take him some hay but instead of leaving the hay I called Pam (Double B Transport) to come pick him up and take him to the rescue – thanks Pam! Once here, he seemed surprised, and pleased, to see other horses.

He is thin – no fat and very little muscle. He moves rather awkwardly at a fast walk or greater. But he is young and his rehab has now begun. He’s already beautiful – just wait until he fills out!

He’s pretty vocal and he continues to talk with the others – he was alone where we picked him up from. Welcome to Beauty’s Haven Stetson – no more worries!

The mini’s were standing by their fence looking up and over at him like "OMG he is TALL!" Except for little CaryLou – he looked at him like “Ok, I’m the big guy around here – my barn, my rules, got it?”

The vet will be out tomorrow to examine Stetson. If anyone would like to help him our PayPal address is Theresa. Or donations can be made via our “Donate” page of our website (https://www.bhfer.org/oldsite/donate.cfm). Donations are tax deductible and no amount is too small. We are an all volunteer organization with no paid staff. We are only able to do what we do because of support from others. We’ll have a better idea of his needs after he is vetted tomorrow.

I’m calling it a day – I’m running off of about 3 hours of sleep from last night due to an asthma attack. I know I have PM’s, emails, and phone calls to respond to and I’ll try to get to them tomorrow. Thank you all for caring – God bless and good night!
