Solace, Mini’s, and a Fundraiser

This is yesterday’s update:  Solace napping in the sun after breakfast.  He’s doing great.

He has a job he seems to really take pride in – watching over his little herd of mini mares!

Amy has come to love human attention.  Ariel is much better.  Adora is still adorable!

We got the mini mare that I was worried coyotes would get!  We were told she doesn’t know human touch and doesn’t lead.  She’s a cute girl looking ready to foal soon.  I think we will call her Twinkle!  Bob ran into a neighbor at the feet store this evening and he said he has killed 4 coyotes in the last week.  He breeds Beagles for hunting dogs.  The momma dog went out with her 2 pups one evening and the pups came back – she likely gave herself so her pups could run back home.  So sad.  I’m so glad Twinkle is here and a bit more protected from the coyotes.  Her feet were horribly long – she had a hooficure which went ok.  She has got to feel better now that her feet are done.

Will try to stick her tomorrow to see how tall she us.  I have no idea how old she is.  I do think she has had some handling though – either that or she is a fast learner willing to trust.

Dr. Porter will be out next week to do Sisco’s next chemo treatment.

This is from today: LAST DAY TO BID! Don’t forget the horse hair bracelet auction off!  This one is made from Gentleman’s hair!  It was made by Lisa Austin of Crazy4ponytails.  CURRENT BID: $180! Bid increments: $5 Auction ends: 3-15-13.  

We need to try to finish up the hay game – will need to get the hay mid next week. I think we are down to needing somewhere in the $500 range.  Remember that for every $20 donation you make towards the hay, you will get one entry to win a nice “Shoofly” made from Solace’s hair!!  We appreciate every little amount you can spare!  UPDATE: We really need to get this hay – we are doubling the chances!  If you have already donated for a chance for $20 you’ll get 2 chances.  From here on out for every $10 you’ll get 1 chance!

Please share the info on the auction and the hay game!  Thank you all for caring – have a beautiful and blessed day!

Silly Penny, Genesis, & a Mini Mare Due

March 11th, 2013

Penny helping this am – she’s a donkey that prefers flavored water! Hay – that’s my Propel!

Genesis thinking about going out into the main paddock for a supervised walk this am. He wasn’t too sure at first.

We have been worried terribly about a pregnant mini mare that looks to be due anytime. She has just been living out in a pasture – her feet need done, she needs vaccinations, vetting, dental, etc. There are so many coyotes this year – my fear is they will get her and her baby when she goes down to foal. Well, some good news!
Today, someone donated funds needed for her first month’s care!

This girl is going to need hay too! Please help our current hay fundraiser! We are down from needing $1130 to $700 for the hay purchase! For every $20 donated towards our hay purchase, you will get one entry into a drawing for a beautiful “shoofly” that can be attached to a key chain, purse, etc. that is made by Lisa Austin of Crazy4ponytales from Solace’s hair! So, if you donate $100, you will get 5 chances to win! We will keep going until we meet our goal of $1130 (2 tons of hay).

If anyone would like to help it would be greatly appreciated. Donations are tax deductible and no amount is too small. Donations can be made via our website “Donate” page at https://www.bhfer.org/oldsite/donate.html. Our PayPal address is theresa@beautysequinerescue.org. If you are donating for the hay game please annotate that this is for the “Hay Game” so that we can keep track of our entries!

Feb 21st 2013 Update – Solace, Sunset, Sisco

February 21st, 2013

Solace wasn’t feeling very well this morning. Blood tests didn’t show anything – the results were all good. His temp was up much of the day but is finally down to normal. We will keep monitoring him and if he gets worse I’m to call Dr. Ryan. Please keep him in your prayers.

This is Sisco. He had a tumor removed a few weeks ago – squamous cell carcinoma.  The site was injected with cisplatin and cream is being applied daily – he is doing great.  He will need another chemo treatment on about 4 weeks.  If we win first place in the Elder Ford of Tampa contest it would cover the cost of his next treatment.  Please vote for us and ask friends and family to also vote.  Thank you!
https://www.facebook.com/elderfordoftampa?sk=app_122545277907030&app_data

PLEASE help us to find a good home for Sunset – she really needs to go somewhere with plenty of shade ASAP. Sunset is a 25 yr young former PMU mare who is in need of a forever home. She has a wonderful, sweet personality. She needs to go somewhere cooler or with plenty of shade as she struggles in the heat – have very little shade. If you are interested in adopting Sunset please e-mail Melissa at bhfer.melissa. Adoption fee will be waived to approved home.

The first bracelet, made by Lisa Austin of Crazy4ponytails, is made from the hair of Solace!  The minimum bid was $40 and bidding increments are $5. B idding will end 3-3-13!  All proceeds will go directly to helping the horses!  Current Bid: $200!!

We are still in need of Arabian, Horse, and Large Horse size double Velcro flymasks. And we need milk thistle – many of the horses here get this. We usually get this from The Healing Barn – if you would like to help with this please let me know. Ideally, we would order the 11 lb. container.  And usually, when ordered and being shipped to us, a discount is given.

Calling it a day a bit early – going to meet a mare (possibly pregnant) in the morning that I’m told will be fed to big cats if a home isn’t found. Thank you all for your continued support – have a great night!

Quick weekend update…

February 10th, 2018

A couple of the horses got a much needed bath this weekend and most got a good grooming.  The mini mares got off the hook for being clipped – there just was not enough time and they are going to be a project.

If only the weather would be this perfect all year and the horses would stay this clean…

Roxy adores Peggy Sue – and the feeling is mutual.

Solace is still doing well and he adores his food!

Nevada looks very handsome!

Sisco eating hay out the back of the truck.  He is doing well too.

Bouie and Frodo – our little fuzzy bears. They are also in the waiting line to be clipped.

Morgan LaFaye – she’s looking for a home.  She’s a very sweet girl.  I apologize that the picture is fuzzy – I took it with my phone.

Hollie is also very sweet.  She has not adjusted well to the Florida environment and is having trouble breathing – the blowing dust from the lime rock road is not good for her and we have very little shade. She will be leaving soon for her new home where she will be more comfortable.  We will miss her but her new mom will keep us updated.

Sunset also has labored breathing.  She needs to find a home that is better suited for her and the sooner the better – before warmer temperatures arrive.  Like with Hollie, the dust that blows off the lime rock road is not good for her and she needs shade.  I’m so glad she was clipped last weekend.

Some of you may remember Archer – he is doing great and his family adores him!  That’s his best friend on the right.

It was a really busy weekend here.  A lot got done – a big “thank you” to everyone that took time out of their busy schedule to come out and help.  The more hands we have to get daily chores done the better – it leaves time for other things like baths, clipping, raking, cleaning up the barn, etc.  It really takes a lot of time, money, and hands on to keep this place going.  We are very blessed to have the support we have – here and from afar.  It’s only because of other people pulling together to help us that we are successful – be it donations, prayers, sharing our info with others, etc.  Without all of you helping us we couldn’t do what we do – we sincerely thank you.

And many thanks to Marie for making and donating the necklaces that helped us to raise the funds to pay for Solace’s blood transfusion – that is a lot of worry off my mind.  And it is only part of the vet bill. We still have a jewelry auction going on to help with other vet needs. And we need to buy hay again.  Some of the horses are getting a hooficure this week – if anyone would like to sponsor a horse please let me know.

I’m calling it a day.  God bless and again, thank you all, very much for your continued support.  Have a wonderful week!

Oh – please don’t forget the current “Valentine’s Day Match Game!” If you donate towards the Match Game please indicate so with your donation.

One of our wonderful supporters has offered a very generous $200 Match Game for Valentine’s Day!  The supporter will match each dollar donated from others until we hit the $200 limit!
So this means a possibility of $400 in donations!

Please remember that all contributions are tax deductible and no donation is ever too small.
