Below is an update that should have gone out yesterday but didn’t – I apologize. I thought I published it but it was still in my “Draft” file.
This update is a little different from my norm – captions to photos are under the photo instead of before. Some of the pictures are from my cell phone so the pictures are not great quality.
Some of our Barbaro family! Today would have been his 10th birthday. He is a true champion, always.
Starlight and Jordan! Starlight is a rescue that we took in a few months ago. She is SO loved and has never had it so good – she is adored!
Jordan and Starlight back at the barn – look at all of those ribbons! Go girls!
Kylie and Roxy exercising horses and having fun at the same time this past Saturday!
Nevada has been just a pasture pal for quite a few weeks now because he was having an issue with muscle in his back left leg. He appeared sound for the last few weeks. Kylie rode him for a little bit at just a walk but cut the ride short because he started favoring that back leg again. He would really benefit from a chiropractic/acupuncture treatment. Would anyone like to help to sponsor this? He will likely need to be adopted out for a light rider doing light work. We’ll give him some more time, and treatments, and see how he does. He’s a very sweet boy.
Ceri is slowly putting on some weight. She’s a very sweet Arabian mare.
CaryLou did ok for his first lead lesson today. He is hysterical!!
What are the babies waiting for? Their mommas are getting antsy!
Ariel has a little bag. 🙂
Strutting again!! It’s hard to take his picture when he is like Velcro!
Penny is going to feel so much better after her clipping!
What a beautiful color she is!
There was an even more darling face under all that hair!
Lucy wants to help!
Penny looks like a different donkey! Thank you Lynda for making this happen!
Check her out – yes that is a heart on her butt! She is so pretty!
Morgan is looking for a forever home.
Solace is doing great.
Lucy is still doing well. She is such a doll!
Have a great week everyone!

Urgent help needed…
I need help. This is a 4 year old stud that we have been asked to take but we are full and have no space for a stud at this time. But until he finds a safe spot to land (which we will be trying to help find) we would like to make sure he is not hungry. We need $130 to provide him with a large compressed bale of O&A that would last him at least 3 weeks. Could anyone help with this?
I plan on seeing him tomorrow to get more info on him and to take pictures – I would like to take the hay with me.
Thank you for any amount that you can spare.
Sincerely,
Theresa

I’d like to start your day out with a smile… here is a link to another short video of CaryLou and his ball! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmputz5JpLk.

We still need $155 (down from $375) in order to buy baby bedding – a load of shavings we need to pick up tomorrow. Donations can be made via PayPal to Theresa or via our “Donate” page of our website at https://www.bhfer.org/oldsite/donate.cfm. Donations are tax deductible and no amount is too small. Please help us with the baby bedding!
Hummmm…. Wonder what he is trying to talk Lucy into doing. There is never a dull moment with him! LOL!

Donkey Roping Competition – Meet Tia and Tess
Thank you to everyone that contacted the organizers of the donkey roping competition that was planned for today in Texas and asked them to cancel. In the contest, held to raise funds for the Marines, donkeys are roped and tormented for “entertainment.” We have been advised that the “benefit” was cancelled but I haven’t seen anything to actually confirm it yet. I hope and pray it is true. When I think about something like that happening to Penny or Penelope or Domino, well, it is just unthinkable!
I’d like to introduce Tia and Tess – a mother and newborn that needed a safe place to land. Tess was born yesterday morning – they arrived at the rescue yesterday evening in the winds and rain. And we had terrible rain and wind storms through the night but they were comfortable in the shelter of the quarantine paddock with hay and forage.
Tess weighs about 30 lbs and has the markings of a Jerusalem donkey – here is a link to the story behind the markings: http://www.mdresort.com/legend-christian-donkey.
Dr. Ryan examined them today and we got some results back this afternoon – the baby’s IGG is good. Whew!
Tia is young herself – maybe four years old. She adores her baby.
The dark you see on mom is rain rot we’ll be treating – she’s lost a good part of her coat on her right side. But the loss is ok because unhealthy coat has to come out so new, healthy coat can come in. And there is some on her legs – some a bit all over. Baby Tess is all legs and ears!
If anyone would like to help sponsor these precious girls please let me know. Have a good night everyone – I’ll be away from the computer until tomorrow afternoon.
Thank you!

Theresa

Happy Birthday Aaleyah Belle!
Aaleyah Belle is a very special Thoroughbred that was born on the day that Eight Belles lost her life – May 3rd, 2008. Eight Belles crossed the finish line in 2nd place at the Kentucky Derby that day – but in doing so, sadly, she broke both front ankles and was euthanized where she went down. Aaleyah Belle, named in honor of Eight Belles, was born that day with a wry nose and couldn’t nurse. She and her mom were going to be shot if we didn’t help them. After some rehab here at the rescue surgery was performed at UF to correct her nose and she did great. If you don’t know Aaleyah’s story here is a link – https://bhfer.org/aaleyah_diary1.htm. There are 3 parts to her diary that you’ll find links to while reading. Aaleyah overcame so many obstacles – she is a miracle! Here are just a few pictures from her story and diary.
This is Aaleyah, only a few hours old, with Momma Sue on the day they arrived at the rescue.
Aaleyah on her 1st birthday.
Aaleyah Belle – she is beautiful!
Please take time to read Aaleyah’s story. It’s an incredible story of love between three babies (Aaleyah Belle, Buttercup, and Silver Belle) and a mare (Momma Sue) that raised all three of them – and the humans that will always adore them. The story will bring laughter and tears. I know that Momma Sue is always watching over her daughter from above and that she is so very proud of her. Aaleyah is a true blessing to us and taught us that we should never give up!
Happy birthday our lovely Aaleyah Belle – you are loved more than you will ever know!

Theresa
