A Board for the Horses

The rescue (17.5 acres) has no-climb fencing around its perimeter with top boards and electrical tape. As boards have a tendency to expand during the summer season, they quickly become stressed and many, unfortunately, break, which creates a very hazardous environment for our ‘Velvet Nosers.’

A number of paddocks, as well as the arena, have three-board fencing with an average of five boards in each that are in need of replacement. This presents a bit of a challenge at this time due to the increased price of boards.

As we need to replace 60 boards at a cost of $14.50 each, we are hoping that our little village of supporters will assist us by sponsoring a board (or partially sponsor a board).

This will help ensure the overall safety and well-being of each and every member of our beloved little herd, for which they, and we, will be forever grateful.

If you are in a position to help with this need, please click on the ‘Donate’ button below where there are many options in which to forward your contribution. Please be assured that all donations are greatly appreciated and no amount is ever too small!

Busy Times

We have had yet another very busy week at Beauty’s Haven. I’ve spent a day in court as well as countless hours doing paperwork to ensure that sweet Maggie’s future is the best that it can be – we could most certainly use prayers to make this happen. I have also responded to several calls regarding horses that needed help, but sadly, the outcomes for those horses did not end well. We simply cannot take them all which truly breaks my heart, but with so many special needs horses here at the rescue who require extra care, we are just not in a position to do so.

Today, we have the next round of hooficures commencing, but still have not raised adequate funds to cover the last round of hooficures. Thankfully, a number of donations have been received via our One Dollar Farrier campaign, but there are still a number of horses who do not have sponsorships.

The total cost for the farrier, who trims every four weeks, is approximately $1,000 monthly. While some horses can be trimmed every five weeks, most need to be done more frequently.

Additionally, we have testing for Warrior, Peaches, Bouie, Nickers and Cloud Dancer. These tests are for Cushing’s, Thyroid, Coggins, Chemistry, ACTH, Insulin, CBC, etc. I am once again asking our amazing village of supporters for additional assistance to cover this cost which averages $350 per horse. While these tests are quite costly, please be assured that they are most necessary to ensure the overall health and well-being of our beloved little herd.

We would be forever grateful for any assistance you can offer to help keep our ‘Velvet Nosers’ healthy and happy. Just click on the ‘DONATE’ button below where you can contribute in a variety of ways.

Thank you!

Sincerely,
Theresa

Just One Dollar?

JoJo here again! I hope you all had a very happy Easter and Passover! Everyone here at the rescue had a very nice day although some of my friends were a bit sad as only a few of us were able to have ‘Happy Feet’ in time for Easter.

As you know, we had so many needs arise all at once – Mommy Theresa’s birthday fundraiser; little Warrior’s frightening and serious health issue; and Pearle, my little cat sister’s sad and unexpected delivery of premature kittens. We are so very grateful for all the prayers and contributions that came in during that time and truly understand why helping us have ‘Happy Feet,’ was the least important thing on your list. Sadly, though, things like hooficures and hay are a necessary and ongoing need to keep us all healthy and happy.

So, I was thinking if each of our many supporters could send just one dollar, it would add up so very quickly and before you know it, everyone will have ‘Happy Feet!’

If you can, just click on the ‘DONATE’ button below where you can contribute in a variety of ways. And, if you cannot donate at this time, we truly understand, but you can still help by sharing this with your family and friends.

Pearle

Introducing our newest rescue. She’s one of the many cats who comes around during the night. These past few days, I’ve been seeing her on the camera during the day rather than going off with the others at sunrise. And her tummy seemed to be getting bigger by the day! We were able to catch three kittens from a litter before her generation, but we weren’t able to catch the mother, so I’m assuming that Momma Cat got pregnant again, and this one, as well as two others, were born only a few months ago.

Since she was caught, this sweet little girl had been hiding in the back of her little hidey-hut, but on Wednesday when I was cleaning her cage, she ventured out of her little ‘house.’ We scheduled an appointment with the vet for Thursday morning and our plan was, if she’s not pregnant, she will get spayed, recover, and then be released. But our plan, however, was simply not meant to be, as on Thursday morning, we discovered that she had six stillborn preemie babies in the wee hours of the morning. Sadly, they weren’t developed enough to have survived. The vet determined that this little one is only about five months old – just a baby herself. She was vetted and spayed and is doing okay and she does seem to be more at peace than I’ve ever before seen her. I’m sure she must have been quite confused about what was going on, but she’ll never have to worry about going through that again. I have named her, ‘Pearle.’

Pearle will remain at Beauty’s Haven to recover and she will be on medication for a week. Last evening, when I sat with her by her cage, she came over to me and let me rub her little head. And she purred! I so wish I wasn’t allergic to cats! Pearle is also very much enjoying the gifts she received from a wonderful supporter – food and feed dishes!

We would appreciate any commitment from others to help with Pearle’s vet bill, which was $265. We also have at least five more kittens/cats to trap and get fixed. I’m especially concerned about a black and white cat, who I believe, may also be pregnant. If you wish to help, you may forward your contribution, simply by clicking on the ‘DONATE’ button below where you can donate in a variety of ways. If donating via PayPal, please designate your contribution to: ‘Pearle.’

Thank you for your continued love and support.

Sincerely,
Theresa

My Birthday Wish This Year

My Birthday Wish this year is for equine weight scales which are essential in monitoring an animal’s weight during their initial rehabilitation as well as for their ongoing care. The second part of my Birthday Wish is to get caught up with our outstanding veterinary bills (3K). To help make my wish come true, a dear friend and supporter has offered a Match Game whereby, all donations up to $1500, will be matched dollar for dollar.

As I reflect upon Beauty’s Haven, a lovely testimonial written on 5 May 2018, by a treasured member of our BHFER family comes to mind. Her lovely words describe her first visit to the rescue and meeting the horses, words which truly exemplify the ‘Magic’ of Beauty’s Haven, ‘A Place Where Life Begins, Again!’

“When a friend told me, she was going to volunteer at a horse rescue, I rolled my eyes. As a horse person, I’d seen plenty of so-called ‘rescues’ (we all know the type), and I didn’t have any reason to expect BHFER would be any different. But, from the moment I set foot on the place in July of 2013, a few weeks after Betsy Rose’s arrival, I knew this place was different. Not only was it maintained physically and the horses given the very best in care, BHFER had a healing spirit that enveloped everyone who came there. My friend hasn’t been but a couple times, yet I’ve spent every bit of time I could there. I was struggling with PTSD myself, and being a part of that energy with all the horses and meeting Magic, I believe with all my heart, literally saved my life. Beauty’s Haven is my place of peace, and I consider it home.” ~B.B

I truly hope you’ll consider contributing to my Birthday Wish Fundraiser as a way to celebrate with me while helping the horses at the very same time. You may forward your contribution, simply by clicking on the ‘DONATE’ button below or by clicking on the image above. If donating via PayPal, please designate your contribution to ‘Theresa’s Birthday Wish.’

Happy Feet for Spring

It is so hard to believe that spring is just around the corner! And, as always, every six weeks or so brings yet another round of “hooficures.”

Chloe, Jo, Dancer, Bouie, Frodo, Maggie, Gabe, Mo, Oasis, Valley Girl, Walker and Waylen are just a few of our “Velvet Nosers” who are scheduled to have a hooficure this week in hope that each will have “Happy Feet” by the very first day of Spring.

If anyone would like to sponsor a hooficure for a member of our beloved little herd, we would be forever grateful. The average cost per equine is $50.

You may forward your contribution in a variety of ways, simply by clicking on the DONATE button below. If donating via PayPal, please designate your contribution to: “Happy Feet” or the name of the horse, donkey or mule that you wish to sponsor.

All donations are tax deductible and no amount is ever too small.

Thank you for your continued love and support.

Sincerely,
Theresa

In Honor of Minnie

As many of you know, we recently lost Minnie, a mule that had worked her whole life for humans. But when she became unable to keep the pace, she was repaid by having her basic needs go neglected. She arrived skin-on-bones, her body had sores all over from burrs buried beneath her coat, and she was up there in age. Minnie loved her soupy mashes and was simply as sweet as could be. She was very grateful to have humans around her that were kind to her but her body had wasted away to almost nothing and her heart was tired. Sadly, we only had a couple of days with Minnie. But she went to Rainbow Bridge knowing she was loved.

We haven’t stopped thinking about Minnie, and in her honor, we would like to help two other mules that have also given their lives to helping humans.

We have funds remaining from donations that came in for Minnie to cover initial dental, vet, and farrier expenses for one but we need help covering the other. Also, they both need monthly sponsors to help with their ongoing care. We are sure that Minnie would be grateful if we are able to help them.

If anyone can help us to help these precious mules with any amount of a one-time, or monthly ongoing donation, please click the Donate Now button below and note it’s for “MULES”. No amount is too small and all donations are tax deductible.

Gratefully,
Theresa
