Another Match Game!

Aaleyah Belle continues to recover nicely albeit a bit too much at times, as she frequently tries to do her ‘Cricket Dance!’ She was one happy girl on Saturday when she was turned out in a small paddock next to her best friend, Chloe.

Aaleyah is as determined as ever to overcome any obstacle that she encounters. She’s been a strong girl since the day she was born. Against all odds, Aaleyah Belle never gave up!

Aaleyah’s hospital bill was a bit more costly than we had originally anticipated but with the help of our wonderful little village, I am confident that we can get this done.

If you are in a position to help Aaleyah, donations may be called in directly to PetersonSmith Equine Hospital at 352-861-1251 or 352-237-6151, account #95501, or you can simply click on the ‘DONATE’ button below where you can contribute in a variety of ways. We also have yet another Match Game on the table and once again, all donations up to $1000 will be matched dollar for dollar! This is a wonderful opportunity for those of you who missed our last Match Game! Please note that your contribution is for ‘Aaleyah’s Match Game.’

Thank you, all, for your continued love and support.

A Match Game for Aaleyah

Aaleyah Belle is clearly demonstrating that she is tired of stall rest. Just another week to go. Oh joy! She will then spend two weeks in a small turn out area which I am sure, she will like much better! If you click on the image of Aaleyah, above, you can see our ‘wild child’ in action!

We are truly excited to announce that a dear friend and supporter has most generously offered a Match Game to assist with Aaleyah’s surgery, hospitalization and veterianary fees, whereby, all donations up to $1000 will be matched dollar for dollar!

This could not have come at a better time as we still have a very long way to go. If you wish to participate in the Match Game, you can do so by visiting our Facebook Business Page (CLICK HERE) or you could simply contribute directly to Beauty’s Haven by clicking on the ‘DONATE’ button below.

Aaleyah Needs You Now

Aaleyah Belle thankfully continues to do well since her return to the rescue following her surgery at PetersonSmith Equine Hospital. Although she would prefer not being in a stall, she can, at least, still gaze out over the farm from her window. Aaleyah can also see her best friend, Chloe, from afar and needless to say, she was completely over the moon when Chloe got to visit with her from the paddock outside the barn area over night. I know that both girls will be happiest when they are together once again.

We currently have a Facebook Fundraiser underway to help cover the cost of Aaleyah’s surgery, hospital stay and veterinary care. We are forever grateful to each and every one of you who has contributed thus far, but we still have a very long way to go.

Sadly, in the world of animal rescue, especially with equines, who, despite their size and grandeur, are really quite delicate beings, unexpected medical emergencies can arise in the blink of an eye, emergencies which must be acted upon quickly in order to save a precious life. And since we depend solely upon contributions and grants to ensure the safety and well-being of each and every member of our beloved little herd, we are now, desperately seeking your help. Aaleyah will be so very appreciative of any contribution designated to her surgery/hospitalization. Just click on the ‘DONATE’ button below to make a contribution directly to her Facebook Fundraiser.

Thank you, all, for your continued generosity, love and support. *Please click on the image above to view a video of Aaleyah, our beautiful girl who ‘never gives up.’

She Never Gave Up!

Aaleyah Belle is back at the rescue! Colic can happen at any time and I still cannot believe that we lost Oasis a couple of weeks ago to this insidious condition. And then it hit Aaleyah Belle out of the blue! Aaleyah so loves life and I am so very grateful that she got through this. She never gave up! Life can truly change in a blink of an eye. Thank you, all, so very much, for your good thoughts and prayers. We have been blessed many times with answered prayers. This is yet another blessing.

We have currently posted a fundraiser on Facebook to help cover the cost of Aaleyah’s surgery, hospital stay and veterinary care. If anyone would like to help with this need, you can visit our Facebook page (CLICK HERE), or if you prefer, you may contribute directly to Beauty’s Haven by clicking on the ‘DONATE’ button below.

A Message from JoJo as Idalia Approaches

Yesterday afternoon, JoJo was concerned because he heard a hurricane might be coming – he saw a kayak on Frosty’s Knoll and Lucy wearing a snorkel. Well, we definitely have a hurricane coming and Lucy was definitely in a snorkel, but I was really proud of her because she was already wearing her EquestriSafe ID collar! We have a ton of things to get done in a short period of time and I’m very thankful that we have collars for the other horses and the dogs.

The hay trailers are empty – we need to make two hay runs and get a load of shavings ASAP in advance of Idalia. If anyone can help we’d really appreciate it. We need to raise $1600.

Please click on the ‘DONATE’ button below if you can assist us at this time. And, see sweet JoJo’s message up close and personal by watching the video below, straight from the donkey’s mouth!

Match Game!

Thank you to everyone who has donated a fence board(s) thus far, but we do have a way to go with 31 boards still needed at a cost of $14.50 per board. The good news is that we are almost halfway there!

We are also truly pleased to announce that a dear friend and supporter has come forth and has offered to match all donations up to $450 designated for the fence boards. Any overage will be applied to filling the in-ground Propane tank that feeds two generators so they will be ready for potential hurricanes.

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! Please note that your contribution is for ‘Fence Board Match Game.’

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
