A couple more pictures from today…

Lou Ann did some feet this am. Frodo says "Nope, not me today!" Little stinker.

Genesis had taken a liking to Princess today on his walkabout. Hum… It was back to the barn for him!

We hope to pick up the mini mare tomorrow that is a sitting duck for the coyotes – someone donated the funds today for her first month’s care! She looks pretty pregnant. But she’s skinny. I hope she doesn’t have her baby tonight.

I’ll update tomorrow where we are with the hay game – last Jeanne updated me we needed $640 but I know a couple of more donations came it. Thanks everyone!

Have a good night everyone and please don’t forget about the raffle for a bracelet made from Gentleman’s mane/tail. It ends on Friday! It was made by Lisa Austin of Crazy4ponytails. Bid increments: $5. Please remember to e-mail your bids to: bhfer.melissa! Current bid: $175

A quick update on this morning’s email about a Paint and a mini mare. The Paint has been reported to authorities and we received an inadequate response. We will be following up on this horse but we must give authorities some time to do their job.

Regarding the mini mare that looks to be pregnant – if we can raise first month’s costs and get some monthly sponsorship for her we’d like to bring her in. She’s going to need everything. It’s been a heck of a day and I’m not sure I’ll be at the computer or answering the phone again today. And I’m sorry if you have PM’d or emailed me and I haven’t responded please forgive me – it’s been very busy. But I’ll be checking email and messages by morning. Right now I need to go visit with the horses for a bit and give myself some time to calm and regroup.

Also – the raffle for Gentleman’s bracelet is up to a bid of $165. Thank you.

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. I’d like to start the day out asking for prayers. This horse needs help. We’re doing what we can but he is on a vacant piece of land – the same kind of situation like Heart was in. He’s a 1 on the Henneke scale. At least he has a thick coat to help him stay warm on the cold nights.

And there is another mini that needs help – looking very pregnant. Please pray for that somehow we can help these horses. Oh, and then there is a family herd of Arabians we have been asked to help with. The Paint and mini are our focus today.

Arriving at the University of Florida for Genesis to have an eye exam. His right eye, the one with the detached lens, has been weepy and causing him discomfort.

Sadly, I left him at the hospital – he will have surgery in the am. All options were discussed and it was decided it would be in his best interest to remove his eye. He has glaucoma and the pressure was causing him much discomfort. It wasn’t going to get any better.

He will have his surgery standing. Putting him all the way down would put him at risk for injury or worse. I will be going back to the hospital in the morning. I feel so bad for him. He is such a good boy. I am sad about this – it’s a shame. Oh – he weighed in at almost 1700 lbs – he is a big teddy bear! The only comfort I find in making decisions such as this is that it will bring Genesis relief from discomfort. Please keep him in your prayers.

I’ll update from the hospital tomorrow. I’m exhausted and am calling it a day. We need to ask for help with his vet bill. They are estimating it will cost about $1500. If anyone would like to help it would be greatly appreciated. Donations are tax deductible and no amount is too small. Donations can be made via our website “Donate” page at theresa. Thank you.
