Please Pray For Beauty

Pray For Beauty
January 31st, 2018

Our beloved Beauty was having a great deal of discomfort in both front feet yesterday. Dr. Ted Specht came out last evening to examine her and to do x-rays. I was worried sick because Beauty has a history of founder. Currently, she has a compound issue – her soles are a bit too thin and she’s having a laminitis flare-up. We’re doing everything we can to manage this – the good Lord knows my heart hasn’t recovered from losing Betsy Rose and I’m not sure I ever will. Beauty is my heart horse and the reason this rescue came to be. Please keep Beauty in your prayers.

A Magic Milestone!

MAGICS MILESTONE

January 24th, 2018

For those who know Magic’s story, you’ll understand how big an accomplishment this is, and for those who are unaware of his history, I hope that you will gain a better understanding of his very sad past.

Magic is an Arabian stallion that was used as a tripping horse. Most horses don’t survive this horrific abuse and if they do, they are so mentally messed up, that they are most often, deemed crazy and sent to slaughter.

After surviving his “charro” life, Magic ended up with someone who beat him with a 2 x 4 because he would not take a saddle. I received a call from a young lady who had witnessed this repeated abuse and asked if we could help. From the moment I saw Magic, I knew he’d be coming home with us. He was very untrusting and petrified of people, ropes, boards, etc., and understandably so.

I was very blessed that he accepted me from the very beginning and we have a relationship built on trust. It took a few years, but now he will approach other humans for scratches. I do tell everyone who goes into his paddock, however, that Magic lives life on his terms. Nobody is allowed to try to “catch” or halter him – he feels threatened if they do, and runs away.

Magic accepts me haltering him, treating injuries, putting a flymask on him, and more. If he needs a vet, I sedate him and put a soft towel over his eyes and once the vet arrives and does what he needs to do, and then leaves, I remove the towel.  It’s worked great.

Magic has had melanomas for years which had not caused an issue. However, one recently got very angry after he rubbed it raw against a board. I cleaned and treated it daily. There really wasn’t a way to keep the flies from the sore so I considered putting a sleazy on him to protect the area. Well, I tried and was pleasantly surprised when he stood perfectly still and let me do so!  I was so proud of him! I opted to leave the sore open and continued to keep it clean and treated and thankfully, it’s so much better now. But the sleazy was a major milestone for him!

The barn just isn’t the same without Cookie and Betsy Rose. Ruby gets more attention now but I’ll bet she, too, wishes her four legged friends were still with us.

SeAnna has found her loving, forever home!  She is a pasture pal to a blind gelding.  The first time they met they clicked!  Both appear to be very happy!

Kiana is another beautiful girl that is looking for a forever home as a trail horse. She’s getting some training sessions in with Dan Rexroad!

Penny, a 30+ year old blind Belgian, looks gorgeous in her cold weather blanket. And believe me, it’s been really cold!

I miss her so much.

CRYING IS A WAY YOUR EYES SPEAK…

Betsy Rose Pink Olden

The horses were happy to get out of their blankets on Monday. We’re happy the temps are up a bit but it is predicted that the cold weather will be returning this weekend.

Aaleyah Belle and that tongue! All she wanted to do was slime me!

Cricket really seemed to appreciate her blanket last week during the cold temps and freezing rains.

We got Betsy a new pack of bows this year – they always looked so cute on her. Sadly, she never got to see them but I didn’t think she would mind if some of the others wore them on Christmas Day.

Cricket was giving me advice on how to unload the hay that weighs much more than I do!

Love it so much when the horses are very happy with their hay. Every horse in this photo is looking for a forever home.

JoJo is one of the most intuitive and caring donks I’ve ever known. This was taken a couple of days after Betsy Rose left us. He just wanted hugs.

I walked out of the feed room to move Beauty back to her paddock for the evening. I looked up to the sky and found a beautiful surprise.

BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE!

All Bundled Up_

Betsy Rose, four years ago today, on January 1, 2014.

This image truly made me smile!

[clear]

I listened to the weather forecast yesterday instead of my little voice and only blanketed a few of the horses last night. I figured we could do so this am with the help of volunteers but I awoke to light rain, winds, freezing cold temperatures and wet horses! The temperature continued to drop throughout the day and the drizzle wouldn’t stop. Horses came in four at a time to dry so they could get blanketed. We can deal with the cold but not with the added rain and wind. The weather won’t be better for several days and a few people have even mentioned that there is light snow in the forecast! ☃️

Many thanks to our volunteers, Karen, Kim, and Jill, who blanketed nearly all of the horses!

[clear]
Penny does not seem to mind the frigid temperatures as she happily grazes in her fine new blanket!

[clear]

This little Arabian gelding is our senior resident.

[clear]

Emma’s cute little nose is still a bit lazy on one side due to nerve damage sustained from her gunshot injuries.

Although many months have gone by, there is still a $7K reward being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) that shot her multiple times.  We must continue to seek Justice for Emma.

Emma is hoping that 2018 will be the year that her dream of a loving, forever home as a pasture mate, will finally come true!

[clear]

Silly Ruby doesn’t seem to mind the cold at all…but then again, she is tucked away in the cozy barn!

Betsy Rose – The Little Mare That Did – She’s Home

Monday, 12/25/2017

Betsy Rose’s ashes have been returned to us – her spirit never left – she is home. I don’t know how to thank you all for your good thoughts, prayers, and kind words. I’m sorry that it’s taken me so long to get myself together.  I have yet to return phone calls and I haven’t read but a few of the 1000’s of emails that I have received. Some of you have asked how much Betsy’s vet bills are so you can help. We won’t have an answer until we get the bills in a couple of weeks and when we know, we will post the information and any help will be greatly appreciated. At the time, paying her expenses was the last thing on our minds and we truly appreciate your patience with us in responding to that question.

As most know, Betsy Rose has had a history of choke. Two years ago, in December, a vet came to clear a choke and told us Betsy had a mass pressing against her esophagus and that she would likely need to be put down sooner than later. We had Dr. Porter out that same evening for a second opinion. He scoped Betsy Rose and determined there was no mass, no strictures. She was losing the ability to swallow and it would get worse. Betsy started wearing a grazing muzzle and got soupy meals. She did have a few more choke episodes over the next two years, but they were cleared. But this time, it wasn’t something that could be fixed. And without the ability to swallow, one can’t survive.

But what a blessing it was that we had two more years with her! I’ve cried a river of tears – I miss her more than words can say. She was such a part of my life every single day. But my tears haven’t been just for me – but also for all of you that love her as well. Betsy Rose is the little mare that beat the odds and inspired many to believe.  She had such fierce determination, courage, and an iron will.  She made friends all around the world!  And now, as we move into a New Year, even though I’m sure I’ll have my moments and many more tears, it’s time to be thankful and rejoice for the time we had with her and the memories made.

When we think of those companions who traveled by our side down life’s road, let us not say with sadness that they left us behind, but rather say with gentle gratitude that they once were with us.

~ Author Unknown

Betsy Rose will be with us, always. I sense her everywhere and her precious whinny can still be heard when I least expect it and that brings me great comfort and joy. We will always remain #betsyrosestrong.
Betsy Rose - Believe
Wishing you Peace, Love and Joy in the New Year.
Sincerely,
Theresa

BETSY ROSE – AN ANGEL HAS HER WINGS

Betsy A New Angel

It is with a heavy heart that I must share the sad news that our beloved Betsy Rose has gone to Rainbow Bridge. We did everything possible in our attempt to save her and needless to say, we are totally devastated. This has truly taken a toll on Theresa so she will be offline for a few days. Please keep Theresa and the entire Beauty’s Haven family in your thoughts and prayers.

A NEW CHAPTER IN SOPHIE’S LIFE BEGINS

A New Chapter for Sophie II

Yesterday, Sophie and I made a trip to her new home! It’s not far from the rescue and she has a new friend named Dancer. Dancer is a 30+ year young TB that lost her BFF (who was also 30+ years young) a few days ago. Their human mom raised them from babies and Dancer was very, very sad with the loss of her BFF.

A few days ago, one of our vet’s and a farrier, referred Dancer’s owner to us in hope that we would have a horse that could pal up with Dancer – but it had to be just the right horse – a special horse with the right disposition. When I learned of the circumstances, I truly believed that Sophie would be a perfect match and invited Dancer’s mom to come spend time with her. She did, and I saw a new friendship take roots right away, so we opted to give it a try!

I explained to Sophie what was going on as Suzanne helped us get her ready for the short journey to her new home. Sophie walked right onto the trailer with me. When we arrived, she walked off, looked around, and then looked at me as if to say, “I think I’m going to like it here!”
[clear]

Dancer became more animated by the second and we let the girls meet over the fence. Then we hand grazed them for awhile. When I felt the time was right, we took our leads off and the girls walked off like they’d known each other for years. It was a warm and wonderful feeling!
[clear]

I stayed for a couple of hours and watched the girls and chatted with Sophie’s new mom – it certainly didn’t seem like we were pretty much strangers. We have a lot in common and could’ve talked for hours. With every adoption, our family just expands!
[clear]

And so, a new chapter in Sophie’s life begins.
[clear]

This was Sophie when she came to us in 2015. She was skin on bones and had terrible teeth and feet. With proper TLC, Sophie blossomed into a beautiful and happy mare.

Why did it take so long to find her a home? It had to be the right home and it takes as long as it takes to find that perfect match!

SOMEBODY’S KNOCKING AND BABY RAY IS BACK!

Saving Grace

Baby Ray is home_322pxNovember 9th, 2017

Baby Ray is back from his foster home as Athena, his pasture mate, has been adopted! Baby Ray is now all grown up!  He came to us as a few months old orphan, skin on bones, after having been listed as “Free on Craigslist.” He was born blind due to congenital cataracts. The cataracts were removed at UF and he can now see, albeit he has no lenses and is unable to focus normally.
[clear]

Little Grace just loves her new home! And her foster family has fallen in love with her – so much so that they are adopting her! Grace has been blessed with her own human family! And we were blessed to be able to help her when she needed us, thanks to the wonderful assistance and support from our village!
[clear]

Magic is still stunning! Notice the two birds? They are never very far from him. Magic was a bit under the weather for a few days, but thankfully, he is now feeling better.
[clear]

There must me something magical about the stairs to the office – I never know who I’m going to find there!

These little ones are doing so well. They’re steadily gaining weight and are very happy! Cricket never fails to greet you with a whinny!

We are very thankful to everyone who helped with their needs. They love attention and would make a wonderful addition to a family looking for little ones to love on. If anyone is interested in adopting Jiminy and Cricket,  please read our “Adoption Requirements” in the Notes section on our Beauty’s HavenAdoption Page prior to contacting us.

Penny is such a sweet and trusting girl. She’s a Belgian that was born blind and is about 30 years young. Please consider giving Penny a home for the holidays. She’s an absolutely wonderful and kind mare with lots of love to give.

OUR SPECIAL NEEDS HORSES AND A WONDERFUL NEW MATCH GAME!

Golf Cart and Fibre Beet

JoJo Golf CartIt seems as if we are constantly asking for help and that isn’t easy for me. But we are a charity which operates solely from donations and grants and we must depend upon help from others in order to make a difference in the lives of our horses.

Our golf cart batteries have unfortunately, died – and we do properly maintain our tools and equipment. I must admit that it truly, was no fun getting towed back to the barn in the darkness of night! The estimated cost of the batteries is at least $900 (for all 6). We will be purchasing from a different source this time – the batteries that have failed only lasted about 2.5 years. We plan to purchase Trojans with a life expectancy of 6 to 10 years which will bring us much peace of mind.

Betsy Rose Birthday PlainWe are also in need of a pallet (50 bags) of Fibre-Beet from Emerald Valley. We are down to our last bag and are borrowing a bag from a friend until we can get our pallet. Buying it by the pallet, which usually lasts a year, is the most economical way in which to purchase Fibre-Beet (even with the cost of shipping). Betsy Rose, Little E and the other special needs horses that comprise our beloved little herd are fed this along with a ration balancer and needed supplements. Betsy Rose and E are fed five times a day (smaller portions) – they are hard keepers. Betsy Rose has Cushings and a history of choke so she has to be fed a soft diet. Little E has teeth, but they are so worn down, that he, too, must have a soft diet and when the weather is like it is now, he gets gas colic quite often unless he’s on Fibre-Beet. When we have colicky horses, this is a great way in which to keep them hydrated. Fibre-Beet is excellent for horses that have, or are at risk for, laminitis, ulcers, and Cushing’s. A bag retails for $41 but we get a good discount and while we do have some funds already set aside, we still need help as the estimated cost is $1100.

little-e-bio-photoWe were truly blessed to learn on Friday that two wonderful supporters have come forth to offer a most generous Match Game, whereby, all donations up to $1500 will be matched dollar for dollar to assist with the cost of the replacement batteries as well as a pallet of Fibre-Beet. If you would like to play the Match Game, you may do so via various means here on our website or via our PayPal address: bhfer@earthlink.net. If donating via PayPal, please designate your donation to, ‘Golf Cart/Feed Match Game.’ If you select the tab for ‘Friends or Family,’ no fees will be deducted from your contribution. Please be assured that all donations are greatly appreciated and no amount is ever considered as being too small.

On behalf of all the ‘Velvet Nosers’ at Beauty’s Haven, thank you so very much for your love and support!

SHE IS STUNNING AND SHE NEEDS A HOME!

Zahara

Thoroughbred • Black • Mare • 15 Hh • DOB 2007

Zahara is a stunning black Thoroughbred mare that was born in 2007. We were told that her original owners gave her to someone years ago. In 2012, while at that home, she sustained a neck injury. Dr. Michael Porter took x-rays which indicated a fracture at C-4/5. In 2014, her original owners took her back. Not long thereafter, the owners called Dr. Porter because Zahara was looking poorly. Dr. Porter found her to be very thin and depressed. He called us and asked the question – could we take her?  Of course we would!

Zahara was transported to the rescue where she settled in nicely.  She was vetted, her teeth were done, and her feet were trimmed.  Her rehabilitation program went well. She just needed a proper diet – there was no medical condition that led to her being skin on bones.  Dr. Porter x-rayed her neck to compare it to the original injury and he was amazed at how well it had healed!  She’s a very pleasant and honest mare.  While Zahara will never race, jump, or pull a cart or buggy, she will make a nice trail or companion horse.

Zahara has not as yet been started under saddle. She will require an experienced horse person with a background of training horses using natural horsemanship techniques.  A training plan will be included in the adoption contract. If interested, please take time to read our adoption procedures/requirements information, that can be found on our Adoption Page.

Beauty’s Haven Farm and Equine Rescue, Inc., reserves the right to approve or deny a potential adoptive home at BHFER’s sole discretion.
