POST IRMA – GETTING BACK TO NORMAL

Back to Normal

JoJo and Jazzy were so happy to get out of their stall after the storm..
 
Penny is a 31 year old blind Belgian mare. Emma is a young QH filly that was shot multiple times a few months ago. They were both very brave throughout the night as Irma passed through – I was so proud of them! 

 

This video features Penny and Emma as they greeted us at daybreak during the eye of the storm.

 

 

Kitty Cat had fun with a photo shoot during Hurricane Irma.
 
My daughter made me do it! But it was a much needed ride – if only for a few minutes. Fancy is a great mare!

The minis will be arriving home tomorrow following their little ‘vacation’ in Tennessee.  I simply cannot wait to welcome them home!

 

We are still assessing the storm damage and a detailed update will be forthcoming.

 

Thank you all for your continued love and support.

A LONG NIGHT WITH HURRICANE IRMA

A Long Night Collage

 

We made it! All horses are accounted for. That was a really long night!  We are truly exhausted but very thankful that the storm is over.

 

 
Precious little Grace – she’s now officially, a ‘Storm Cat.’
 
 
 
Poor Betsy Rose looks like the way I feel.
 
The horses that stayed at the concrete barn during the storm all returned home today.

 

Lucy and CaryLou were quite happy to see their Mommy Theresa!
The rain is never ending. The barn is flooded and the water keeps coming.  Thankfully, the stalls are mostly dry. We still have to assess the damage and will keep you all updated.

 

Thank you so very much, once again, for keeping Beauty’s Haven in your thoughts and prayers.

HUNKERING DOWN

Hunkering Down

Just a quick update to let y’all know that we’re hunkered down. We are still securing stall windows – the old latches broke. Winds are picking up and we’ve lost power a couple of times.

 

JoJo isn’t happy that he’s grounded to a stall. Neither are Cloud and Nickers. But hopefully, this will soon be over without any issues or injuries. The winds drive my anxiety level off the chart.

 

Betsy Rose is doing well. She is much calmer than I thought she’d be.
Lucy, Ruby, and the others that went to a concrete block barn are hunkered down with Jenny.
We were so blessed this morning when a local family we’ve never met, came to help – the windows on the house did get boarded up. Thankfully.
I’ll check in later. I don’t know how the rest of Florida is doing, but I’m praying for all of us. Believe…
Those winds!

IRMA IS COMING – PLEASE KEEP US IN YOUR PRAYERS

Huricane Irma II Sophia

The horses in Tennessee absolutely love the weather and are having a great time on “vacation.” We picked up two mini geldings today that were adopted out a few years ago – their human family is going to a local storm shelter as our county is under a mandatory evacuation.  Some of you may remember the mini boys – Cloud Dancer and his dad, Nickers.
We will be hunkered down in our barn. Stalls will be full and there will be some horses out in the paddocks. When we built the barn, we included a good size A/C feed room with a fridge and a full bathroom. Fortunately, we have an automatic generator, so we should be okay.
We moved a few horses to another farm today that has a concrete block barn with huge stalls. A piece of my heart leaves every time another load of horses pulls out.
We still have some preparing to do and unless Irma shifts, the eye is headed right toward us. We normally have a bad internet connection and we expect it will get worse. I’ll try to keep in touch with Jeanne so she can keep you all updated.
To those who have donated – thank you. Supplies, stocking up on feed, gas, hay, propane for the generators and moving horses, etc., has been extremely costly. All of this has been exhausting – both physically and mentally but we’re going to make it through okay. Please keep everyone in Irma’s path in your prayers.

 

Believe…
