A recap of the last few days…

The pregnant mini mare’s were seen by Dr. Ryan – they were not very good patients but they survived. J They weren’t the best for Fabio either but he was very patient with them and they learned to calm and trust – I hope they remember for next time. Look at that foot!

The weather has been beautiful – it would be really great if it were like this all year around! Joshua (our son) hopped up on Genesis for a short ride while I hopped on Cisco. Would have liked to have ridden all day!

Volunteers Tony and Michelle got up on Cisco for a short walk. They had a blast! I love to see the horses bring about smiles! Cisco is ready for a home.

Peggy Sue is got a good grooming from Sue Ann (she was visiting from TN). Penelope and Penny decided they wanted attention too and of course they got it!

Kylie and Roxanne gave Rayo a bath which he needed – he was filthy! It was likely his first one in at least 2 years. He was a jewel about it – a very nice boy.

Kylie rode Morgan LaFaye to see how she is doing under saddle and, as expected, she is still great! Solace got a glimpse of this pretty mare and decided he had to check her out. They are now friends. Morgan is a darling little mare that is ready for a home.

Helping the mini’s to get used to the barn and to being handled. This was all new to them. The younger one was afraid of the barn – especially being in it! We gave them both time in and out of the stall – together and apart. Here, the 20 yr old is in a stall with Barbara and the younger one is looking in making sure all is well. They are pretty bonded which was to be expected.

Then we got to work on getting the tangles and stickers out of their manes and coats. Some sharp stickers were buried under their coats and they poked them when they walked – poor girls. We still need to get some under their bellies near their backend. They are not comfortable being handled back there yet but we are working on it. We didn’t want them to go into overload yesterday with too many new things. But it’s very important that we get them used to being handled before the babies come. They are due in March. This is the younger one – about 10 years old. She has a name now – meet Ariel.

And then the older mare got groomed – more tangles and more burrs. She seemed depressed when she arrived but I’m happy to report she is brighter by the hour it seems. I’ve been told that ladybugs are good luck – this mare had a couple of them in her mane! I named her Amy – she is 20 years old. The vet palpated both mares and said we need to be watchful of Amy because she may have issues – let’s pray that isn’t the case. One thing is for sure – Amy and Ariel will not be bred again.

Yesterday day our daughter, Katie, and her friend rode a little bit at sunset.

Nevada got a much needed bath today which he seemed to really enjoy. He’s a good boy. The weather was nice – I saw an opportunity and couldn’t resist! I saddled him up and went for a short ride – I’m glad I did! It was his first ride here and he did great!

Solace is doing ok. We’ll know more after his next blood test tomorrow. His appetite went down yesterday but seemed better today. He’s bright and seems pretty content. Let’s pray the internal bleeding has resolved. He’s quite amazing. Truly amazing. And very much loved.

Bouie and Frodo are doing great – they’re as funny as ever to watch.

And here is Little E grazing with Penny, Penelope, and Solace this afternoon.

Penny and Penelope are so cute! Penny is growing so fast!

Hollie is doing well – she’s put on needed weight and is muscling up too but her breathing has been labored with the recent weather – as has Sunset’s. We don’t have much shade but we can usually find Sunset standing under one of our few shade trees near a waterer most of the time. Sunset’s adoption application is expected to be processed this coming week – her potential adoptive home has much more shade than we do. She is a beautiful mare – floppy ears and all! This is Holly on the left and Sunset on the right.

Starbuck and Dora are settled in at their new home – I can’t tell you how happy I am that they are staying together. We raised these two babies and their adoption is bittersweet. To those that helped sponsor Starbuck and/or Dora we thank you! We’ll provide updates on them – their adoptive mom knows they have many people that care about them. We would like to ask their sponsors to please consider sponsoring another here. There are some horses that have little to no sponsorships. If you would like to pick another to help please email us at bhfer and let us know. God bless and thank you!

To say it’s been busy here would be an understatement! We are very thankful for the warmer temperatures – it’s helped Solace, I’m sure. I know it’s helped me! I want to thank everyone for your continued support – without you we couldn’t do what we do. We would like to ask that you spread the word about our many horses that are available for adoption. In order to help another we need to find homes for ones that are ready. Please visit our Adoption page on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/281532335275853/?ref=ts&fref=ts. Our website is not up to date but we are slowly working on it – there will be a new website soon with info that is kept up to date. We just need to make the time to get it done. Our new Webmaster has been very patient with us – he’s done a great job but we’re the toad in the road. L

Have a blessed week everyone – I’ll update on Solace again tomorrow evening. Again, thank you for your continued support! If anyone would like to make a tax deductible donation you can do so via our website at https://www.bhfer.org/oldsite/donate.html. Donations are tax deductible and no amount is too small.

The mini mare’s settled in – both are very sweet. They don’t seem to have had much handling but they will come around. Tomorrow they will start their day by seeing Dr. Ryan. Then they will get much needed hooficures by Fabio.

We are supposed to have temperatures in the 80’s again tomorrow so hopefully after their busy morning we can give them a bath. Many thanks to everyone for helping these girls – they are both due to foal in March which isn’t that far away! No more babies for either of them!

Solace had a good day. He is still skin on bones but he has gained weight. Once we get him past his pneumonia and internal bleeding issues his weight gain will improve. Tomorrow blood work will be done again to see how he’s doing. Let’s pray hard that the internal bleeding is better – we need a miracle. I believe…

Good night everyone – God bless and have a wonderful day tomorrow!

They are here! I’ve promised them they will never be bred again. Dr. Ryan will be out tomorrow. And Fabio will be out in the am to take care of their overgrown feet. The one on the left is 19 years old. The one on the right is supposed to be about 10.

God bless and thank you all for helping them!

We have enough pledges/donations to bring her in and cover her first months expenses. She has two monthly sponsors but needs more. We would really like to keep her and her pregnant 18 year old friend together but we need another $350 for her first month’s care and she would need monthly sponsors as well.

Monthly sponsorship means a donation of any amount. And no amount is too small. All donations are tax deductible. To make a donation you can go to https://www.bhfer.org/oldsite/donate.html. If you want to make a pledge for mini mare #2 please email me and put "Mini mare #2" in the subject line. I’m really beat so I’m calling it a day. Thanks everyone!
