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

Hey Everyone!

So, if you wish to be our Valentine, just click one of the donation buttons below. Please designate your contribution to “A Valentine for the Velvet Nosers.” Please remember that all donations are very much appreciated and no amount is ever too small! Thank you!

Hay for the Horses

I feel so badly posting each week stating that we need to make yet another hay run. Many of you are undoubtedly growing weary of these weekly requests as well, but the truth is our horses not only need to eat, they need to keep warm during these unusual periods of frigid temperatures here in Florida.

As many of you know, the cost of hay has risen significantly since last year creating much concern for equine rescues across the country who depend upon contributions in order to keep their beloved herds properly fed. Here in Florida, the price per ton of Orchard 3 String has risen to $779; the price per ton of Orchard 2 String has risen to $685; and the price per ton of Half Pasture bales of Alfalfa has risen to $638.

With our hay runs averaging approximately $1200 per week, we have decided to have one big fundraiser with the goal of raising enough funds to keep the hay trailer full through the month of March, when the grass will once again begin to grow.

We do realize that fundraisers for hay and farrier fees are certainly not as exciting as rescuing an equine or other precious being in need, but saving the animal is just one small part of the equation. Once that animal arrives at the rescue, the cost of their initial and ongoing care rises exponentially and hence, the reason why sponsorship is so imperative.

Our goal is to raise $10,800 which will greatly alleviate our stress knowing that the funding is there to cover our weekly hay runs.

If you are in a position to donate, you can do so here on our website or on *Facebook (just click on one of the buttons below). All donations are so greatly appreciated and no amount is ever too small. If you are unable to contribute at this time, you can still help by sharing our need amongst family and friends.

On behalf of everyone, both horses and humans alike, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts.

Sincerely,
Theresa

Betty White Challenge

In Honor of Betty

Betty White, who sadly passed away on 31 December 2021 at the age of 99, was a friend and advocate to countless animals throughout her legendary life. Inspired by her legacy and lifelong devotion to creatures both great and small, Betty’s fans encouraged compassionate hearts across the country and throughout the world to honor her by contributing to an animal rescue organization of their choice on 17 January 2022, the day that would have been Betty’s 100th birthday. And once again this year, many organizations will uphold this wonderful tradition in celebration of this remarkable woman and her incessant love for animals, on 17 January 2023, the anniversary of her 101st birthday.

Beauty’s Haven Farm and Equine Rescue, Inc. is truly honored to commemorate the life of this amazing woman through our participation in the second annual Betty White Challenge. Please consider keeping the legacy and memory of the late, great Betty White alive with a donation in her honor by clicking on the ‘Donate’ button below. Please indicate that your contribution is “In Memory of Betty.”

May her radiant light forever shine.

Thank you all for your love and support.
Theresa

Here we go again!

Here we go again! The “feels like” temperatures are dropping below freezing, and coupled with the high winds, it becomes nearly unbearable to say the least. We need to get a load of coastal and some alfalfa hay ASAP which will cost about $925.

If you can pitch in, please click the “Donate” button below, or visit our Donations page for all options to contribute.

I know the horses would really appreciate it, digesting hay helps them stay warm!

Gratefully,
Theresa
