Update November 23rd – 25th, 2013

November 23rd, 2013

Beautiful day. But very windy. This is Barbara and Delaney giving out hay.

I’d like to ask everyone to send a good thought or prayer out for mini Peaches tomorrow as she goes to Rainbow Bridge. She was at UF most of last week but her adoptive mom, Susan, took her home to spend a couple of days with her before having the vet out to help her to Rainbow Bridge. Peaches has cholesterol granulomas in her brain and her neurological function has been significantly impaired. She’s been having issues for awhile now but keeping her comfortable and functional has become too much on her. Peaches is 26 and is 1 of 14 mini Falabella horses that we rescued in a very sad case in 2010. There were 7 mares and 7 studs (now geldings). Out of the 14, Peaches will be 2nd out of the herd that we’ve lost. We truly appreciate Susan and the TLC she’s given to Peaches these past few years.

This is mini Peaches with her BFF, Callie. My thoughts and prayers will be with Peaches, Susan, and Callie tomorrow as Peaches makes that transition to the Bridge.

November 24th

Mini Peaches runs with the Heavenly Herd now. We love you Peaches – always!

Artist: Greg Ambrose

Liberty and her BFF, mini Magic. Both are mares from mini Peaches original herd of 14 – a rescue case we worked back in 2010. They are doing well and are very much loved by their adoptive mom, Lorrie.

November 25th

Some of you may remember Baby Girl – she’s another miracle. Baby Girl was adopted over a year ago to a wonderful family out of state. She recently started showing some changes around her right eye (which was the side of her face that was severely injured when she came to us). After consulting with her adoptive parents vets, and our vets, we thought it would be in her best interest to bring her back to the rescue so the same care team that she had when she was here can examine and assess her. If you read the article it may help to understand why we think it’s important – her case was pretty unique and the fact that she survived with her odds being “0 to none” says something about her love for life. She’s a very special mare. She arrived back here on Friday and settled right back in. She will be going to UF in a couple of weeks. Dr. Morton is looking forward to seeing Baby Girl again! Here’s a link to her story which was in newspapers around the world. http://www.gainesville.com/article/20111218/ARTICLES/111219630. 

Baby Girl upon arrival at Beauty’s Haven in 2011.

Wow – I really was “glowing” at work this morning!

Some of you may remember Daisy – a 4 year old miniature donkey that came to us in August 2013 with cancer around both eyes – the left eye was not even recognizable. Daisy has had many surgeries/treatments and some of the cancerous areas have improved while some are just determined to stick around. We brought her back to the rescue to continue with her care and try a different treatment. She’s full of life and is just a joy to be around. She doesn’t really know what to think of the boys – we’ve had storms all day and they have been in their stall. Maybe the sun will come out tomorrow and we will see how they do. For now, they talk through the stall gate.

“Double Trouble”! The boys, JoJo and Jazzy, over the weekend.

The boys trying to help with the semi-annual great “clean up the barn aisle way up in the rafters” task. Yes, it took from sun up until after dark. But it looks really nice now and the spiders are gone.

Sometimes when I see Little E tagging behind Mishka, I get goose bumps – the loss of Gentleman is still fresh in my head and heart. Mishka is doing well – gaining weight and muscle.

We are so truly proud of our excellent rating on Great Nonprofits.

Victoria Indirect Lightening Strike Update, JoJo, and More

July 14th, 2014

It was good to see Victoria more alert today – her eyes had light in them and she didn’t look like she was “lost”. Her walk was better during her exam by Dr. Julia Simonson today but she still can’t make the turns without flailing – her back end is all over the place. Dr. Julia will be back again on Wednesday to treat her with acupuncture. Dr. Julia does think that Victoria took an indirect lightening strike. When Little E was struck by lightening several years ago they found him unconscious – I’m so glad he recovered. Victoria will recover too – she’s another tough Arabian with a heart of gold.

July 15th, 2014

Is Santana not just absolutely gorgeous?? He is one of the best babysitters you could ever hope for. Well, he is looking for a forever home. NOTE: He does have navicular but is kept comfortable with hoof wraps. He’s a very sweet horse and a beautiful pasture ornament. Isn’t there someone that would love to offer him a forever home?

“Mommy Theresa come play with me!” He’s like the Energizer Bunny. LOL

Poor Victoria – it really does break my heart to see her like this. Please keep her in your prayers. She is getting an acupuncture treatment tomorrow.

July 16th

Victoria is noticeably worse today. She’s getting her treatment now.

It’s flymasks on, flymasks off. Then we do it all over again. The storms need to let up for a day or two to let us catch our breath.

July 17th

Victoria update: I just posted a video that I took today of Victoria on our business page at Beauty’s Haven Farm and Equine Rescue! Please “Like” us there and choose to “Follow” for updates! I’m so proud of this mare!

“It’s ok Matilda – come and see if the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.”

July 18th

“Good morning everybody! Check this out – if I stand up here on this pile of mats I’m almost as big as Donovan! Let’s get this day started – it’s Friday!!!”

What a way to be greeted in the mornings!

JoJo got to run and play with Karol today – it was good to get a break. LOL He’s a hoot!

The entire property got mowed today except for the 4 southern larger paddocks. It took 9 hours! It’s a lot of work but Lynn Mathena does a great job! It looks so nice – I wish it would stay like this always! The lower 4 paddocks take another 5 hours to do – they need done badly to help keep the weeds from taking over. Hard to believe that in just a couple of months we’ll be starting our winter hay drive.

Some wonderful news – we have a new volunteer – welcome Lisa Swift! Today was Lisa’s 2nd day and she gave Victoria a bath. Victoria is still pretty off in her back end but the acupuncture/massage/chiro/TENS treatment by Dr. Julia helped and she enjoyed it. Dr. Julia wants to give Victoria a few days and then reassess her – she may opt to get some x-rays done.

SHELTER CONTEST! WE ARE IN 1ST PLACE in FL!!! PLEASE vote daily and help us to stay in 1st place – we can win $1000! We need this terribly for the horses! Share with family and friends and ask them to vote for Beautys Haven in FL! Thank you Yahoo! BELIEVE!

Have a great weekend, Everyone!

Theresa

Orphan Baby Mini Donk JoJo, Kiana, Betsy Rose, Harvey, Oscar & Pistol

June 24th, 2014

Meet our late incoming arrival last night – a few day old mini orphan donkey. I named him JoJo. He’s the result of irresponsible breeding. He has learned to drink from a bottle and he’s gotten really good at it – thankfully. I need to get going… – something happened with our dishwasher and the kitchen was flooded this morning. I’ve been on my knees with the Rainbow vacuum for what seems like hours – we have wood laminate flooring.
image0021

June 25th

JoJo has a couple of nodules at his left eye that we’ll be keeping a close eye on. We are still waiting on his blood work to come back. He’s a good boy.

image0041

JoJo was vetted this morning by Dr. Julia Simonson. She thinks he’s about 7 – 10 days old. We’ll have his blood work back this evening. He’s doing ok and has a great appetite (thankfully). Around his eyes are so sunburned – he’s got pink everything. Does anyone know where we could get a tiny sunsheet to protect JoJo? And a baby mini donkey long nose mask? He’s only like 30 lbs.

image006

Aunt Judy adores JoJo! I asked her if she’d babysit for a few minutes this am. She was on his level playing with him before I could finish asking. LOL

image0071

Betsy Rose was thrilled (so were the rest of us!) when Auntie Karen stopped by unexpectedly today! Karen spent many hours with Betsy Rose during her rehab.

image0092

Oscar and Pistol are like bookends. Where one is you’ll find the other. They love to play tug of war with anything. And they love to upside down poop buckets in the early morning hours and pretend they have a 2 donkey band.

image0111

Kiana enjoys her play time out of the barn area. She’s had a growth spurt! I’ll update in more detail about her tomorrow.

image0131

Kiana and Harvey grazing while Betsy Rose opts to nap in her stall in front of her PortaCool.

image015

June 26th

Guess what?!? I have a name! It’s JoJo! I met so many humans today – it was like – wow! And they all drooled over me! I’ve never had so many hugs and scratches – I didn’t know a little guy like me could get that many in one day! I wish you all could meet Betsy Rose – she is like the Queen of this barn! She’s very kind and she’s quite talkative when she gets hungry. Freckles told me what h…happened to her before she came here – that was really sad. Everyone here is just so, well, like family! I saw some really long ears today on a HUGE mule named Matilda. I mean – her ears are as long as my body! And then there are Oscar and Pistol – more long ears. They are like brothers. And there’s lots of other horses I haven’t met yet but I will. Mommy Theresa says I have to stay inside when the sun is out but I get to come out when it’s cloudy and in the evening – my skin is so pink – around my eyes was already sunburned. I need to get to bed now – lights out soon. Nighty night everyone!”

image0161

A VERY SPECIAL FUNDRAISER!

A one of a kind offer! For our latest fundraiser, we are offering a lovely Betsy Rose & Kiana 16” x 16” pillow!

image0181

Betsy Rose and Kiana – we’re so proud of these girls! They both BELIEVE!

image020

We need help to restock up on some supplies – would anyone like to help with milk replacer pellets ($70) and/or milk replacer powder ($40)? We need shavings 20 bags ($80) and Wel-Gel ($200).

Missing Solace, Another to Rainbow Bridge, Oscar, and More

February 23rd – 25th, 2014

February 23rd, 2014

I’m about to go read comments about Solace – I’ve been putting it off. My heart is still very heavy from losing him – it just isn’t the same. I find myself still looking out into the paddock to see how he’s feeling – but he’s not there.

I hoped to somewhat regroup yesterday but then a call came in – a mare had been down for 3 days – can we help? Of course, I couldn’t say no. I’m not going to get into details but we were, sadly, called too late to try to help this mare. When we got there, I took her vitals and they were not good. Her gum color was not good. She’d dug a 10″ ditch with her front legs. She didn’t respond to any sensation in her back end.

It took awhile to find a vet to respond but he determined that the mare had gone toxic and advised that the most humane thing to do was to help the mare cross. Losing Solace on Friday was still very fresh in my mind and in my heart, and, while I only knew this mare for a couple of hours yesterday, it didn’t matter – I loved her just the same and letting her go was hard. Losing any hurts – it NEVER gets easier. But, as with Solace, there is comfort in knowing that she runs with the Heavenly herd now – she knows no more pain.

Oscar no longer needs assistance to get up! He’s mobile and doing well.

Romeo is doing well also. He’s far from out of the woods but we’re staying positive and he’s brighter each day. He loves to talk!

Wanda and her son, Caleb, did a GREAT job clipping little Harvey today! Thank you both – very much!!!

Harvey looked like a little lamb! He’s going to feel much better!

Last photo for today to end my posts on a good note – Serenity is feeling better. It’s been tough getting through the sand and parasite issues but we’re working on it. She’s a sweet girl.

Februay 24th, 2014

Betsy Rose’s court case is over – the previous owner got probation, has to pay fees/fines, and can’t own large animals for a year. I wish I could change what happened to Betsy Rose before she found her way here, but I can’t. She’s a determined little mare with a huge love for life that has touched the hearts of many – it’s truly a blessing to be part of her life. There are many things Betsy Rose wants to help us with like raising awareness of what to do if you see or suspect abuse/neglect, where to reach out for help, and so much more. She wants to help educate humans about the responsibilities of owning and caring for a horse – it’s not inexpensive and proper care does take time.

February 25th, 2014

Lindsey and Ginny gave Bryce a good bath today – the weather was just beautiful! He’s putting on weight nicely, finally. Ginny’s husband, Mark, fixed fences. Bob made 2 trips to get hay and will make another trip tomorrow! Marie took some office work home with her to accomplish. I thank God for our volunteers and supporters daily – sometimes many times!

Bryce is doing better. He had a huge amount of sand in his gut. He had a high parasite load too.

Look how great Harvey looks! I kept telling people he wasn’t fat – he was just fluffy! LOL

Oscar and Vermont Teddy Bear

IT’S COMING!!!

Updates on Many Horses, Volunteers, and Poker Ride

February 1st – 3rd, 2014

Joanne Kelley and Elaine visited yesterday – it was so nice to meet them! Putting names to faces and introducing the horses is something I truly enjoy! I probably talked way too much! LOL

Joanne wanted to get slimmed by the famous Aaleyah Belle – well, she got it ok!

All of the little boys wanted to be the first to say “Hello!”

Indy and Baby Ray are doing great!

Betsy Rose is almost looking a little chunky.

Solace wasn’t feeling so very good today. Hopefully it is just a change in weather.

Cookie is such a sweet girl. I’m not liking what I’m seeing in her eye though. Hopefully Dr. Porter can get out to the farm in the next few days.

Bella is doing better at her foster home with Kim Furse. She’s been started on a new protocol for her respiratory issues which are better. Bella is happy getting more one on one attention at Kim’s and she has a best friend mare named Winnie!

Don’t forget….

Have a great week, everyone!

Theresa

Adoptions, New Friends, Hooficures and More

October 26th – 27th, 2013

We hope everyone had a great weekend. It’s been very busy here, as usual.

Some really bittersweet news – our darling donkeys, Penny and Penelope will be going to their adoptive home in just a few days! They are hilarious and we’re going to miss them terribly. But they are going to have a blast in their new home. Their adoptive family fostered Story for us – they are only a few miles away. They are going to be spoiled rotten! They will have their own home and humans for the holidays!

Penny and Penelope

Bronson meeting Penny on Saturday. So cute!

Bronson and Penny

Kylie went with me to spend time with Dayo and Fiona on Saturday. We distracted Fiona with some hay so Dayo could focus on us. I usually go alone but I wanted to gently try to move Dayo a little forward today and thought it best that someone go with me. Plus, it gives Dayo another human who he can learn to trust.

Dayo

Major accomplishment on Saturday! We totally enclosed Dayo in the coral panels where he had no place to go but into the trailer. Kylie sat in front of the trailer and I was behind him controlling the coral panels. He was attentive to both of us but he never got upset once. The noise from a squeaky door made him jump a couple of times, but he didn’t try to bolt and run away. He was very calm about it. Baby steps.

Dayo

Dayo and I had a long conversation today about his future. He is now sticking his head inside the trailer to eat his hay while his back feet remain outside on the ground. I’m moving the hay further into the trailer each day. He’s calmly staying behind the coral panel pen that leads to the trailer. He doesn’t seem to be very worried about being able to run as he was even a week ago when something startled him. He just sort of jumps in place and then settles back down. Fiona happily munched on her own hay as I was working with Dayo.

Dayo

Look at that backside! There’s a lot of power there! I don’t want Dayo to have a bad experience. And my time with him is my quiet time. I hate the thought of him potentially getting hurt if pushed too hard – he may never let anyone doctor him. We are making progress so I’m happy.

Dayo

Here’s Betsy Rose on Sunday – she’s enjoying the weather – we all are!

Betsy Rose

Peggy Sue got her hooficure on Sunday. We have to put her in the sling in order for Laura to do her feet. For those that don’t know Peggy Sue, she has a bum back leg. It’s basically straight – it doesn’t bend. Her pelvis was fractured in a few places many years ago when her owners pulled her baby from her. Many thanks to Kim and Laura for their help and patience!

Peggy Sue

Eagle got a hooficure yesterday, too. Kim gently rubbed his face and neck and introduced him to some calming oils. But he was fine – a very sweet horse!

Eagle

Have a great week everyone!

Theresa

Smiles and Ribbons!

October 12th – 15th, 2013

Betsy Rose enjoyed visitors on Saturday.

Betsy Rose

I actually took some time on Sunday to go for a little ride myself. It was nice, very nice! The weather has been perfect!

Oasis

Baby Boo is getting big! Daisy’s tumors appear to be shrinking!!

Daisy and Boo

Remember Starlight? She was a rescue we took in last year that was “unwanted”. She had been living in horrible conditions. Look at what she and Jordan accomplished today!!! I’m convinced there are no “unwanted” horses. Some may be misplaced, but they are all wanted, IMO. I’m so proud of both of these girls – just look at the ribbons!

image0085

I’m so proud of both of these girls – just look at the ribbons!

image0105

Look at Lacey with her new human – this is a reminder of why it may take us longer than some to find homes for horses. It has to be the right fit – the right connection. Our goal is to find a forever home. When the time, horse, and human are right, well, great things happen. Look at that SMILE! PRICELESS!

Lacey

The boys have somewhat of a winter coat already – they are so cute! CaryLou still struts. LOL

CaryLou

“Mommy Theresa that’s my itchy spot! WhooHooo that feels good!”

Betsy Rose

Gentleman loves his tree with overhead mister. And the others love Gentleman. So, they gather each day – under the tree!

Gentleman and Friends Under Their Tree

HighTower having fun in the hay. LOL! He’s a big teddy bear!

HighTower

Bo has become quite the babysitter! Bo is the horse that was dropped off in the middle of a dirt road and abandoned. He walked from the road to a tree and that’s where he stood all day long likely waiting for his owner to come back for him. They never did. It was a hot, sweltering feels like 100 degree day, with no water – from at least 7 am that morning until we picked him up late that evening. I think he was likely a cow horse that got injured and could no longer work. He’s got the moves, but he is very lame from an old injury.

Bo and Friends

I wanted to share this photo of our human son, Joshua. He went for a helicopter ride over Orlando for his birthday!

Joshua's Birthday Ride

Dr. Bess of Tune Ups Veterinary Equine Dentistry and Services, will be here on Thursday – would anyone like to sponsor a horse or two for their dental? On the list are Aaleyah Belle, Lucy, Ruby, Lily, Princess, and Morgan.

Tune-Ups

Have a great evening, Everyone,

Theresa

Beanie Barbaro’s Visit, Update on Others

September 23rd – 25th, 2013

Lake Beauty’s Haven!  The sand bags that were put down last week – washed away yesterday.  I have never seen so much rain accumulate so quickly!  We were under generator power and had all the babies tucked in with Betsy Rose and Lucy.  The lightning was horrible.  Erosion?  I don’t want to talk about it. Not complaining, it could be worse.  Everyone is safe.

Gentleman is doing very well considering he’s 30+ years young.  Some days, he moves better than others, but don’t we all? He’s a happy horse. And he is loved so very much!

Solace is also doing very well.  This was taken yesterday before the horrible storms.  That’s Gentleman’s big butt on the left – they have become very good friends.

Over a year ago, we took on a case of 30+ Paso Fino’s that had pretty much been living feral for almost 3 years. This is Laila – one of the mares. When we rescued her, she was an emotional wreck that was full of nervous energy. When she’d swish her tail, she would move forward as though something was spooking her. Well, at the time, we didn’t know that inside of the mess of a tail was about 12″ of barb wire. The poor mare – she’d swish her tail and the barb would poke her. Melissa and George have done a great job with her – look at her now!

Dr. Julia examined Betsy Rose last evening as she’s been having an issue with her back left hip/leg/stifle. Sometimes, she doesn’t want to put weight on it. Dr. Julia thinks she’s strained the muscles and may want to do an ultrasound if she is no better in a couple of weeks. She does not think Betsy Rose fractured anything which was her initial concern. She recommends Betsy Rose stay on stall rest, with some hand walking, and acupuncture/massage – she was back this morning to do acupuncture. Since Betsy Rose is still very fragile in many ways, please continue to keep her in your prayers.

Many of you may know who Schoep and John are, but you may not be aware of the organization, Stop Animal Cruelty Worldwide. They help animals in need and they have a Facebook page and a website – . They made a beautiful blanket especially for Betsy Rose in honor of Schoep. I call it her “comfort blanket”. It’s one of a kind and very special, just like Betsy Rose. I will post more photos of it in an album tomorrow – Betsy Rose has some things to say about it and she wants to share. Many thanks to Pamela Thompson and everyone at SACW!

Tiffany Redmon did a beautiful drawing of Betsy Rose. “Mommy Theresa that looks like ME!” Betsy is so proud of it! It is hanging on her wall along with a picture of Cloud the Stallion.

And now a long awaited story that I have wanted to share about Betsy’s introduction to Beanie Barbaro:

“Betsy Rose and Freckles, we have a new visitor who would like to meet you.”

“Who is it, Mommy Theresa?”

“Hello Betsy Rose! And this must be your best friend, Freckles. I have heard so much about you. My name is Beanie Barbaro and I have been traveling throughout the United States meeting very special horses like you.”

“I am so happy to meet you, Beanie Barbaro. What a very pretty name.”

“I was named after one of the greatest racehorses ever! His name was Barbaro – he won the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May, 2006. He was so very fast and ran like the wind.”

“Wow, Beanie Barbaro, he sounds like such a special horse!”

“Barbaro was indeed very special, Betsy Rose. Sadly, he broke his leg in his next race and spent many months in the hospital. Barbaro had a wonderful doctor who cared for him. His name was Dr. Richardson.”

“Is Barbaro all better now, Beanie Barbaro?”

“No Betsy Rose, Barbaro got a very bad disease called Laminitis which caused him much pain. He is at Rainbow Bridge now, watching down upon you and all of the other horses throughout the world. Although, he is on the other side of Rainbow Bridge, he is still helping horses everywhere. More research is being done to help prevent and treat laminitis so other horses don’t suffer.”

“That is so sad, Beanie Barbaro. I would have loved to meet Barbaro.”

“Barbaro is here in spirit, Betsy Rose. He is all around you, and together with your Mommy Theresa, maybe he has something to do with making you all better.”

“I am so happy, that you have decided to visit Beauty’s Haven, Beanie Barbaro. I can’t wait to introduce you to all the other horses that live here!”

“I am happy to be here, Betsy Rose. I have heard that this is, indeed, a very special place…

Betsy Rose and friends spending some time with Beanie Barbaro who visited for a few days. Oh the stories they told!!!

Betsy Rose helps us to believe!

God bless and thank you! Have a great evening, everyone!

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!

A Ton of Things Happening!

April 29th, 2013

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!

Sincerely,
Theresa
