Betsy Rose was taped again yesterday – she is steadily gaining weight…
Betsy Rose and Freckles grazing Saturday morning – they had a very good time. And graze they did! Betsy Rose can’t chew, but she tries. Dr. Bess will be back soon to finish working on her teeth. Betsy Rose just needs to get a bit stronger first.
"Isn’t it nice to be out here in the grass Freckles? We won’t be able to stay out long – I get tired easily so I’ll have to go back in my sling. But enjoy while you can!"
"No worries Freckles – you’re not heavy – you’re my best friend! We CAN do this – hold on!"
Betsy Rose received a couple of presents yesterday. In addition to photographs, here is a video we took! I thought you would enjoy seeing how animated and good she felt yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=RacqHMZTmqY
"I got a present!!! Freckles look!!!! Lets open it!"
After Betsy Rose opened her present and ate a few treats, she was exhausted and took a good nap while Freckles watched her box of goodies. In the package were treats, a Lik-It, halter, and lead! She’s a very special little mare that is surely loved! The Lik-It will help keep her busy in the sling.
And then…
"Check it out Freckles! Another present!"
Betsy Rose and Freckles checking out her new halters!
"Oh my – it’s not just one halter but two! And LOOK Freckles – this one has MY NAME on it!! That’s ME – BETSY ROSE! Check it out! Here Freckles – can you hold my card for a picture? I love them!"
And the package came with a lovely note!
It was like her birthday today! She deserves it!
Betsy Rose’s heart rate continues to improve. Today it was in the low 60’s – and that was after her walk! Much better than 120+ which is what it was when she arrived. I was afraid her little heart would burst from overwork!
Animals rule here at the rescue – Kitty Cat (another rescue) even gets the zero gravity chair!
Have a great day, Everyone!

Betsy Rose & Solace – Looking Good
July 11th, 2013
Betsy Rose out for a short walk this evening. Her walk was short – we were both tired. There is a new short video of her on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7S4fyctZhk
I made the mistake of opening the vet bill for last month. We need help with Celesta’s vet bill and for Solace to go to the hospital for oral extraction (est. $450). Antibiotics haven’t worked. Well, they likely did but the issue is back… again. Yesterday he had a snotty nostril again and a temperature – this needs to be taken care of.
Solace on Sunday

Betsy Rose Wednesday Update 07/10/13
We got Betsy Rose’s CBC blood test results back this am and there doesn’t seem to be any infection going on – her WBC is much better. But there are a couple of numbers that are off. I’ve asked Dr. Julia to pull a full chemistry. We were going to wait another week to do it but after seeing today’s numbers, we agreed it should be done today.
I said I’d post a body length picture of Betsy Rose a couple of days ago. For those of you who haven’t seen earlier pictures, well, believe it or not, she has gained weight. We are pleased with her progress and very proud of this little mare. She has a long, long way to go. We try to conserve her calories yet walk/exercise her enough to get her a bit stronger each day. It’s a delicate balance.
Criminal charges have been filed and Betsy Rose’s case has been forwarded to the State Attorney for evaluation.
Have a blessed day everyone!

Betsy Rose Update 07/09/13 – From Independence Day!
I’m behind on everything and trying to get caught up – I apologize for being so late getting this out.
I had a video of Betsy’s Independence Day Walk I was going to share but I can’t find it. I may have accidentally deleted it.
But here are a couple of pictures of the day. We were so proud of her!
Watching from the top of the sling was Freckles just singing away!
"Roll the sling away – let the music play! It’s Independence Day!"
She rested for a bit and then had an appointment with Dr. Julia.
Betsy Rose is getting a bit more animated with her acupuncture treatments!
After acupuncture she yawned several times. Freckles got a little massage. Both are happy.
Freckles has to stay high up so the babies and doggies don’t take her away. Everyone wants Freckles!
Awake and starting to announce she expected lunch. Notice the blue pillow was tossed.
Sorry for the fuzzy picture she was in the process of clearing her table for lunch. LOL!
And another milestone – grazing with no sling or support!
I do have a video of this I’ll try to upload soon.
Thank you all for your prayers, generosity, love and support for our sweet Betsy Rose!

Adora Needs Prayers Monday Update
Adora appeared to be colicing earlier today so Dr. Ryan was called to come out to Beauty’s Haven.
Dr. Ryan believes that Adora has an impaction.
She has been tubed and oiled and is currently resting in her stall. She is drinking and that’s a very good thing.
Adora in March – the day she arrived. She was terribly thin.
Dr. Bess did her teeth following her arrival – her mouth was a mess.
She had three loose teeth causing much discomfort whenever she tried to eat.
Our most recent photo of Adora grazing with her best friend, Fancy.
Both little mares are looking for homes.
Please keep Adora in your prayers.
Thank you.
Tuesday morning update: She passed poop through the night.
She’s drinking water. Seems to be feeling better. No oil yet.

Theresa

Weekend Update – It Was A Busy One!
July 8th, 2013
Betsy Rose this morning after another meal. Freckles is always with her. Rest and food is what she needs. And some exercise. She gets walked throughout the day.
Trying to convince Betsy Rose she needs a nap is getting harder to do! At the end of this conversation Betsy Rose ended up talking Barbara into giving her an apple. Freckles could not believe it!
“Treat please! One for Freckles too!”
Hope this brings about many smiles! [youtube http://youtube.com/w/?v=v3rtTOhDAUE&feature=youtu.be]
Solace yesterday. He’s another miracle horse! https://www.facebook.com/ItsAllAboutSolace?fref=ts
CaryLou was playing in the sprinkler!
CaryLou and Wally – adorable!
Harvey smiling for the camera! “Mommy Theresa don’t forget me! Take my picture!”
Celesta is beautiful! She is so happy to be out of her stall. Poor Harvey has a couple more weeks.
She is into everything!
Barbara and Katherine spoiling Ruby. Ruby stays in because she has pink skin and she burns.
A hot and humid day. Kylie is mowing and I love the smell of freshly cut grass. I wish all of the paddocks were this green.
Have a great week, everyone!

Wow! This is awesome!
Does this not look powerful? Snapped this about an hour ago.
No worries. I got all the babies tucked in stalls just in time and Barbara kept them busy – it was dinner time. But we ended up only getting a little rain. Yesterday when the storms hit I got drenched. I couldn’t get a window to Harvey’s stall closed. The window got fixed today.

This is Sue sitting with Betsy Rose while trying to convince Celesta to chew on a toy and not her!
She is much happier outside.
Betsy Rose on a morning walk! I hope to post a video of her Independence Day walk later today!
Listening to donkeys sing….
