The welcome committee when we went to pick them up this afternoon. J
They both loaded just fine and seemed ready to leave for the start of the rest of their lives.
I think they are both settling in just fine. The mare is in pretty good shape and is also a very nice horse.
Dr. Ryan will be out in the morning for their vetting. Fabio will be out tomorrow afternoon to do their feet. It’s supposed to be a cloudy/rainy day but hopefully we’ll at least be able to get their manes and tails untangled. The gelding’s is very matted with sticker burrs in it.
PrimaBelle looks much better already. She’s a very sweet mare and will be a pleasant addition to her new family.
So, for tonight, all is better.

Some great news – Beauty’s Haven will benefit from the sale of the book “Ivory Pal: Born to Fly Higher!” written by Cindy McCauley!
We will receive a portion of the proceeds of books sold from January 1 through January 31! The website to buy the book is: http://www.ivorypalbook.com/
This morning we went to check on the 2 horses and the gray gelding was up and about but still not looking like he feels well. I’ve been making calls and trying to figure out a way to bring them in. We can’t leave the gelding there knowing he doesn’t feel well. And I can’t leave the 3rd, remaining horse, all alone. So we’re going to pick them both up tomorrow – hopefully in the morning. The 3rd horse, a mare, has a home to go to but will be here for a couple of weeks awaiting transport. I can’t wait to get him here – he’s got burrs all in what little mane and tail he does have.
These are two lucky horses – their New Year is starting off with a whole new start of life! If anyone would like to help sponsor the gelding it would be greatly appreciated. I’m going to call Dr. Ryan in the am and try to have him out as soon as we get the horses to the rescue. I’ll update again tomorrow afternoon or evening.

Remember the 3 horses we took hay to last week? We didn’t have room for them but ending up having to bring 1 of the 3 here because she was colicing. This evening we checked on the remaining 2 horses (mare and gelding) and I am a bit concerned about the gray TB gelding. He didn’t seem to be feeling very well. Temperature, RR, HR were all normal. I’ll check on him again in the morning. Is there anyone that has a spot for him? We won’t leave either horse behind – we need to find them homes and remove them at the same time. They are located near the rescue – near Ocala, FL.

December 30th, 2012
It’s a busy day here but I’ve received some asking what some of our needs are. I had every intention of putting together a detailed list for each horse a couple of weeks ago but time has not permitted me to do that. Here is a general list of needs that come to mind if anyone would like to make an end of the year donation most of these things can be ordered online:
Endure flyspray: http://www.smartpakequine.com/endure-sweat-resistant-fly-spray-1042p.aspx?cm_sp=Category-_-TopPick-_-1042
SuperMask with double Velcro latch: http://www.smartpakequine.com/supermask-ii-classic-9615p.aspx?cm_vc=Search Sizes: Horse (6), Arabian (4), Xtra Large Horse (3) EquiSpot: http://www.smartpakequine.com/equispot-fly-control-3412p.aspx?cm_vc=Search
Electrolytes: http://www.smartpakequine.com/appleaday-34p.aspx?cm_vc=Search
Shavings: 60 bags of shavings for: $225 – we get these by the pallet load locally and we pick them up.
Hay: $545 per ton
A case (10) of WellPride Omega3 FishOil (I don’t know the price – waiting for them go get back to me but they did give us a discount before). It was at least $300.
Previcox: We have to order this as it requires a prescription from the vet:
Thyro-L: We have to order this as it requires a prescription from the vet:
We need 12’ gates to replace at least 3 here that are broken and rusty. They are about $175 each. We are getting a different kind that are stronger. We get them from Sparr in Williston – one of our feed stores.
Regarding some specific horses:
Sunset: We have received enough funds to help her with initial vetting, hooficure, dental, supplements, back board, transport, and some feed and a blanket. I’ll post a need for additional help before her funds are depleted if necessary.
PrimaBella: We have received enough funds for her initial vetting, hooficure, and possibly her dental.
Solace: We don’t know yet – I need to get his latest vet charges and there will be more. He needs supplements and more medication.
The two horses that remain where we picked PrimaBella up: We have received no funding to help with them other than the first and only ½ pasture bale of hay we delivered to them last week. I’m going to check on them now. They need hooficures, dental, and vetting. We can have that done where they are located. We just have no room here. If anyone would like to offer either of them a home please let us know.
I have more I could share but I have to get to town before the feed store closes. Thanks everyone!

The Percheron arrived this afternoon and was examined by Dr. Ryan. Thank you Pam (Double B Transport) for doing a great job – as usual!
She is a 25 year old mare that was a victim of the PMU industry with the number “33” on her hip which was her stall number. She will live out her days as a pasture pal.

I found this girl down and looking like she was trying to colic. Got the trailer picked her up and we are on the way to the rescue
This mare is really going to need angels now. Anyone wanting to help can donate through our website donation page at:
