BH November 1st Update

It was blistery cold but busy day here. Lots of hooficures done today – we kept Ola and Laura busy! Cookie was one of the lucky ones.

Alexis held horses for Ola. This was Ebony being trimmed and Lily waiting for her turn.

And this is Alexis holding CaryLou.

Kim held horses for Laura. This is Princess getting ready for her hooficure.

Bryce got a hooficure today too. It really is a shame that he and Serenity haven’t found a forever home. They are registered Appaloosa’s – very nice horses. I love the look Bryce was giving the camera. Lol

Betsy Rose’s coat "poofed" out last night – she got a hooficure today too.

Peggy Sue also poofed out last night – most of the horses did. The temps went below 40! And tonight is even colder.

Karol helped me give Mishka a much needed bath yesterday. He’s big – really big. He’s thin and has some skin issues. His tail was docked so very short and he has no mane. His ears have no hair and are raw on the inside. He will be getting a full physical on Monday and a hooficure on Friday. Dr. Bess Darrow will be here on Tuesday to do some dental work. If anyone would like to become a monthly sponsor for this sweet boy, it would be so greatly appreciated.

Boys come look at your gifts – there is one for each of you!" Jazzy was certainly interested but JoJo, well, he just kept on walking. He knows what a box looks like with a new flymask in it. lol

Whoop whoop! Go Jazzy!

JoJo and Jazzy – slowly but surely they are becoming friends. JoJo is having a little trouble adjusting to sharing the attention he gets from humans. He still looks at Jazzy like he has no clue what a donkey is sometimes! Silly long ears! Love them!

And our precious rescue dog, Presley, all snuggly in his pajamas. Lol

Have a great week, everyone, and thank you for your continued love and support.

Sincerely,

Theresa

BH October 30th – October 31st Update

October 30th

Jazzy got a bath today. He was full of briars, rainrot, and crud. I did the best I could but we will have to continue to work on it. His skin is sensitive in spots because of the rainrot. The tea tree treatment should help. The barn feels quite empty without Victoria. I missed her good morning whinnies. I miss her.

Jazzy survived his bath today. I know he has to feel much better. It’s sad to think a baby like this could have so much crud and rain rot. He tags along with Betsy Rose some and is getting more comfortable with humans. The boys will be playing together tomorrow.

“JoJo you have a new brother – his name is Jazzy! He’s not used to being handled by us humans very much. I want you to be nice to him and help him to relax. Tomorrow y’all can play together, ok?”
JoJo didn’t really respond so I’m not sure what’s going on inside his beautiful little brain. We’ll find out tomorrow.

October 31st

JoJo and Jazzy got to spend some time together today. I didn’t realize that JoJo would be like Velcro with me around Jazzy! When he first approached Jazzy, it was like he had no clue that Jazzy was another donkey – he was bewildered!

“Mommy Theresa – I don’t understand. Is this a trick or treat?”
Silly boy! I reminded him that he was the one that had been sad because he didn’t have a donkey friend. So, we got him a donkey friend that needed a home. It was perfect for everyone!

JoJo couldn’t believe it – watching him trying to process all of this was simply incredible! JoJo seemed to think for a few minutes and then asked me if he’d have to share his humans with Jazzy and, of course, I explained that he would. Then of all things – he wanted to know if Jazzy would have to wear a flymask too! I explained that Jazzy isn’t used to be handled by humans yet but that he will, eventually, have his own flymask to wear too. Speaking of flymasks, I realized JoJo wasn’t wearing his.

It took awhile but JoJo finally ventured away from my side. But he stayed between me and little Jazzy. I’m not sure that Jazzy is twice as old as JoJo – he is smaller. I’d say they are very close to being the same age. They finally calmed and started to graze, sort of. JoJo was still on “alert” while I left them alone for a bit while I went to get his flymask.

It was really super cute – it was almost as though JoJo thought he was looking into a mirror and didn’t believe there could possibly be another like him on this planet. LOL

I guess Jazzy had enough of JoJo looking at him like he had green ears or something and decided to run after JoJo. It caught JoJo off guard. It was so funny – it was out of the blue and JoJo just took off and had a look on his face like he couldn’t believe Jazzy had the nerve to chase him! LOL

By the end of the day, they had settled and I found them grazing together. They are sharing a stall and pumpkins tonight. Yep, they both have their own pumpkins! JoJo will help Jazzy calm around humans, I’m sure. And so, a new chapter begins.

And guess what trick or treat present the boys will find hanging outside of their stall in the morning? LOL!!!!

CaryLou thought he was king of the trailer – he had the whole thing to himself! The “kids” play on it like it’s a playground. LOL

“Mommy Theresa come look! It wasn’t me! CaryLou is the one that keeps pulling things out of the golf cart and dropping them on the ground! I told him to stop it or we might both get in trouble but he won’t listen! He says we’re too cute to get into trouble – is he right?”

And lastly, meet Mishka (means Teddy Bear), our newest arrival at Beauty’s Haven. He’s a sweet soul that needed a place to land. I’ll update more about him on Saturday – we’ve still lots to do at the barn tonight. It’s going down to 40 degrees and I have to dig out a couple of blankets while Bob is taking big bales of hay down to the lower paddocks. Would anyone like to help sponsor Mishka? He was on his way to auction when we intercepted him. He is thin and has no mane and he has a lot of sores on his body. His poor ears have no hair – they are swollen and raw. He needs a physical (including bloodwork), farrier and dental treatments.

Theresa

Victoria Has Her Wings 10/29/14

Victoria Has Her Wings

‘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

This type of post is the hardest for me – this year has been a very tough one to say the least. I don’t know how much more a heart can break but mine is hurting terribly. Victoria has joined Gentleman and the rest of our beloved herd who have passed before her at Rainbow Bridge at 5:00 pm last evening. Although she tried and we’ve tried, this was one hurdle we simply could not get past – at least on this earth. But now, she is running happy and carefree, without pain. We love this mare so much. She’d been through some really tough times before coming here but her rehab went great and she grew strong. Watching her run with a fiery look in her eye that said she loved life was simply breathtaking. We had just put her up for adoption a couple of weeks before she took an indirect lightening strike in July that left her with issues in her back end. She tried keeping a lot of her weight on her front end. We were surprised she didn’t colic or founder and we thought she was out of the woods but then she did took a turn for the worse. X-rays revealed a rotation in her left foot and she abscessed in both. While the right improved significantly, the left got worse. Between the back end issues and issues in both front feet it had just become too much.

Arabians are tough – Victoria had the heart of a champion and she would have continued to fight this battle until she simply could not go on anymore, but we just could not allow her to suffer. I sat with her yesterday afternoon and talked with her, prayed with her, and I just listened. As the answer came, so did the tears – it isn’t what we wanted but it was time to let her run pain free – we loved her enough to let her go. Letting go was the last act of love we could give her. I do try hard to not cry until after they cross – I always want our last moments together to be positive and good. But with Victoria, well, she knew how I was feeling inside and hiding my tears wouldn’t have done any good.

Run with the angels Victoria – you have earned your wings. We love you, always!

Theresa

BH Update – The Circle of Life

It is with a heavy heart that we must inform you that our beloved Genesis has crossed Rainbow Bridge due to colic. Please keep his human mom, Jenny, and all of those that loved him in your thoughts and prayers. He will be greatly missed.

JoJo has been a bit depressed during the past few days and we felt that he really needed a long eared friend to play with, so please meet Jazzy, who arrived earlier today.

Jazzy checking out her stall.

Jazzy hasn’t been handled. Well, I did give her a halter lesson upon arrival. Not sure she likes it but she’s calmed enough to start munching on hay.

"Are you my new mommy? How come you keep calling me Jazzy? Is that my name? I’ve never had a name before. I think I like it!"

"It’s ok Jazzy – this is Dr. Julia. She’s a doctor that’s really cool and she just wants to check you out to make sure you’re healthy. She’s needs to get a little blood and it might sting for just a second but I’ll hold you – you don’t have to be afraid. We would never be hurt – you’re precious and part of our family now!"

Jazzy was a bit tired after her exam. Today was a pretty big day for this little one. Everything is new to her. I can’t wait for her to meet JoJo and the others. JoJo hasn’t really seen her yet – he’ll meet her in a few days.

"I think I’ll like it here. The humans are nice. I keep hearing them talk about JoJo. I’m not sure who or what a JoJo is but mommy Theresa says not to worry – I’ll find out sooner than later. And she says I have lots of human aunties and uncles – wow! I never thought I’d have a human family – this is exciting! Oh! Oh my gosh guess what I saw pass by??? A HUGE long ears! HUGE!!! I think her name is Matilda. I’ve never seen another long ears that big! I mean, she is HUGE! She got what they called a hooficure today. I wonder if I’ll ever get one of those. Did I mention that Matilda is HUGE?!"

Jazzy calmly accepting human touch after things settled down. She seemed surprised to find out that she LOVES to be scratched at the base of her neck! She’s settled in well but she does need to drink a bit more. Thank you to everyone that made this possible! Jazzy is about 6 months old – older than JoJo. They look almost the same size though. I can’t wait for them to become friends!

Have a great night, everyone!

Sincerely,

Theresa

BH October 17th to 20th Update

October 17th

Victoria says "Good morning!"

I wish I could say that Victoria is doing great but I can’t. But I can say, she had an ok day. IDK what tomorrow may bring – it’s one day at a time with her. Please keep her in your prayers.

CaryLou thinks he won the hay lottery! LOL

October 18th

Kylie is usually here before the sun comes up on Saturdays. By the time the sun is out, tummies are full.

Today is Hooficure Day!

October 19th

Handsome had another abscess pop in his right front over the weekend. On Saturday Kylie went to get him for Ola to work on and he was only wearing one of his SoftRide boots – he had been wearing both of them at breakfast. Kylie went back out and looked all over for the missing boot – it was nowhere to be found.

We then decided to look once more and guess where we found it? Handsome had TOSSED it over the fence onto the OTHER side of the road! Never a dull day here – this boy has quite the personality!

Victoria being pampered by Katherine.

While Donovan still isn’t 100% yet he is much better. His sweating continues to be sporadic – it’s a good thing cooler temps are coming. Many of the horses like to play in the sprinklers. Bob is always having to fix them. LOL

Kathy helping feed in the morning a few days ago – it was great to see you Kathy! Little E got his cookies!

October 20th

Handsome in the morning sun.

Please help us find Amber a home! She’s a registered 6 yr old TWH that is very sweet.

JoJo has seemed a bit down at times these past few days. He didn’t care to eat his breakfast this am – his temperature has been normal. He’s been staying off to himself a bit when he is turned out around the house which is where CaryLou and Lucy are. He seems better when he’s in the barn. Maybe he’s just wanting a bit more attention. He was munching on Victoria’s forage when I came up to the house this evening. When I left him at the barn it seemed like he wanted to tell me something – he was wearing his flymask so I don’t know it’s not about that.

Barbara came up for the weekend – the weather was perfect! This is Barb trying to convince Handsome to stand still for just a few minutes.

BH October 12th to 16th Update

October 12th

HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY LEGACY! Thank you Jan for giving him the kind of life he so very much deserves – he is SO loved! This is Legs eating his birthday cake!

Yesterday was a really nice day and some horses got a much needed bath. This is Serenity – we are going to have Dr. Julia palpate her this coming week just to make sure she isn’t pregnant. She was the worst out of many horses we took in this past January – she was going to be shot because she was in such bad shape. She has not gone into estrus since she has been with us and we’re just seeing a couple of things that make us wonder. She’s such a sweet mare and has come a long way!

Remember Lace? I love to see our horses making others smile! Well, Lace and Mackenzie are both smiling – and they should be! What a great accomplishment – they placed 4th in Showmanship this weekend! Congratulations girls!

Remember Magnum? He’s doing great! I just love to see our horses bring smiles to others!

October 13th

I was informed tonight that we have been entered into the new Fall 2014 Shelter Challenge that just started today! So, here we go – please vote daily and help the horses! It’s over on 11/23/14 and the 1st place winner gets $500!

October 14th

Matilda in the morning.

Eva and Magic cleaning up his paddock. He’s "selectively comfortable" around some humans – he picks and chooses. Some can rub his face, some his neck, and some can even scratch his withers and part of his back. He will, however, take carrots from most. LOL If he isn’t comfortable he will not approach the human or he will just walk away. But if anyone tries to restrain him or approach him with a rope/lead he will retreat – and I dare anyone to try to go after him! He’s a happy boy and that’s what matters the most. He’s got his own safety bubble and that’s just fine. He lets me do what is needed and it took awhile to build up that trust – I’ll never betray it. Trust is key to a relationship with a horse – especially one like Magic. I adore him and he knows he is safe here.

Roxy with Ginger

Peggy Sue getting a hooficure a few days ago. We have to put her in a sling because of her back leg not being able to bend.

Remember Handsome? The first pic is the day he came to Beauty’s Haven in Aug. He had a hero for a vet that saw too much life in him to do what was being asked. He had serious thrush and his shoes were too small for him. After a little time of recovery here at the rescue, second photo below is Handsome meeting Santana, another gelding, for the first time. Handsome had been a lone horse for 5 years, and it was breathtaking for us to see this this meeting occur. Handsome needs some diagnostics: labs/testing done on a lump on his elbow, and he doesn’t have sponsors for any of his care or upkeep. Please let us know if you can help sponsor Handsome…

Handsome. His name fits him well.

Why is it when we get inquiries about gaited horses we have none and now we have 2 and we can’t find them homes? Ginger is a VERY sweet mare that is ready for a forever home. She was born in 1997 and is very good under saddle. She’s a registered TWH that is not quite 14 hh.

Amber is coming back to the rescue from her foster home. She NEEDS shade. Isn’t there anyone that is looking for a nice TWH mare? She was born in 2008 and is registered.

JoJo escorting Auntie Ruth to her car. He’s a good boy.

October 15th

Classy is walking more comfortably today.

JoJo wanted lots of attention this am. I walked up the stairs to go into the office and looked down behind me and there he was. LOL "Mommy Theresa can I go to work with you in the office for a little while? Um, I can’t find my flymask and the clouds are gone."

And CaryLou wasn’t far behind JoJo! Mini see – mini do! LOL

Victoria is still holding her own. She had an acupuncture treatment today. Bob and Dave removed the boards between two stalls last evening in order to open up the birthing stall for her. I just did not want her out in the rains and I thought the 12 x 12 stalls were too small. She had a shelter but I’m not sure she would have stayed in it. And we had some really torrential rains through the night.

October 16th

Well, the golf cart that we use to pull the poop spreader is broke again.

CaryLou learning to tap dance. LOL

He’s back…. [youtube http://youtube.com/w/?v=yHiVdOMHwWs&feature=youtu.be]

BH October 6th to 11th 2014 Update

October 6th

Barbholding Donovan for me yesterday when I was getting ready to change his boo boo bandages. He is massive! I’m so glad he’s better. We still watch him closely to make sure he sweats. Sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn’t. At least the temps are getting better which will help him – it will help all of us! It dipped below 50 degrees last night. Little E had to wear a lightweight blanket – he’s been known to shiver if it goes below 50.

Little E getting some scratches from Jenny today.

Ginger is so sweet! She’s a TWH mare looking for a forever home.

CaryLou enjoying the mister – he’s a hoot!

October 7th

Dr. Ted Specht came out today to x-ray Peaches, Classy, and Victoria’s front feet. Well, sometime through last night Peaches popped an abscess in her front right – we found her walking just fine this morning so we passed on her for x-rays. Classy has been having issues in her front right also.

Victoria is still very tender on both front feet and abscesses are still draining which has me a bit worried – infection is always a concern. She’s not run a temperature – she’s lively, alert, and has a great appetite. Today she was up and moving almost all day long. The last 2 days, she was down quite a bit. She’s been through so much – please keep Victoria and Classy, in your prayers. The indirect lightening strike back in July really shook her but she’s always maintained a positive and determined attitude. She has a lot of light and love in her eyes.

Victoria and Donovan – they are very good friends.

October 8th

The world from Ginger’s back. What a sweet girl!!!! I needed this!

October 9th

Good morning from Beauty’s Haven! I hope to get to the computer this evening after a busy day here at the rescue because I want to share what we learned from Classy and Victoria’s x-rays. Dr. Specht will be coming by on Saturday to discuss them in detail and to review their history and suggest our options. Dr. Julia and I will be in touch today – she is out of town this week. I will say it’s not good news but I’m praying there are options. We love these girls so much – we have to believe that there is hope. Please believe with us and send them good thoughts and prayers. We’ve experienced miracles here – we need two more. Believe…

I have to say that Ginger is wonderful under saddle. Kylie and I both got on her for just a bit last evening. We have beautiful sunsets here almost nightly.

Lisa giving Victoria some extra attention this morning.

Classy and Lucy graziing. Happy ponies.

Artist: Greg Ambrose

October 10th

Three amigos waiting for breakfast this am. Bouie, Frodo, Peggy Sue.

Our ‘Little Herd’ happily grazing.

Victoria has never lost her Arabian sass. She knows I’m in here making dinner!


And so ends an uneventful day at the rescue and believe me when I say that uneventful is good! Donovan had a hooficure – his feet are doing much better which makes me (and my back) happy. Victoria and Classy are holding their own. Classy hangs out quite a bit outside of Cookie’s stall window. Victoria hangs around the barn.

We reviewed Classy and Victoria’s most recent x-rays with the farrier today and will be meeting with Dr. Specht tomorrow. Dr. Julia will be back next week to see them. We will identify what our options are and go from there – I have a lot of faith in these two mares. For now, we try to keep them comfortable (so far we seem to be doing a good job – a couple of days were bumpy when we had heavy rains but we’ve had no rain for a few days now). We pray for many more years with them, and, we keep believing… Please keep them in your prayers.

Have a good night everyone – we are going to be calling it a day here real soon. I apologize to anyone that I haven’t responded to via emails or PM’s – I haven’t had much time at all in the office. Hopefully, tomorrow I’ll be in the office for a bit. I wonder what the big guy was telling JoJo?

October 11th

It was a really nice day and some horses got a much needed bath. This is Serenity – we are going to have Dr. Julia palpate her this coming week just to make sure she isn’t pregnant. She was the worst out of many horses we took in this past January – she was going to be shot because she was in such bad shape. She has not gone into estrus since she has been with us and we’re just seeing a couple of things that make us wonder. She’s such a sweet mare and has come a long way!

This is our son, Joshua, visiting with Classy. I do believe her feet are feeling slightly better. We haven’t had anymore rain.

JoJo having a conversation with Classy.

Ruby overseeing Paul cleaning the cobwebs out of the barn aisle-way. The aisle-way looks great! If only it would stay looking so good!

Katie came home for the weekend and got to ride Ginger for a little while today. Ginger is a petite little TWH mare that is so, so sweet! She’s looking for a forever home.

Look what y’all did for the horses!!! This is what a Village can do! Believe!!!

Have a great week, everyone!

BH Oct 5 2014 Weekend Update

I didn’t realize this was still in my pending box – it should have gone out last Monday!

Many thanks to Eva Ponko and her son, Delaney, Sue Sefscik and Diane Gregoli Marchand for manning our booth at the Williston Peanut Festival this past Saturday! And many thanks to those that donated to help! We have some new really nice shirts that we will be putting on the storefront on the website this week. Many thanks to Lynn Lawrence, Deborah Hill, and everyone that made this possible!

Delaney and Katherine gave Cookie a much needed bath today. The weather today was perfect!

Katherine and Delaney took care of cleaning Lucy’s trach area this morning. We try to keep the area around it clipped – it’s easier to keep it clean.

Dr. Julia Simonson did a nerve block on Peaches to try to better define where the issue in her right front shoulder/leg is. We had x-rays done a couple of weeks ago and it was thought she had a soft tissue injury. And she likely did – this may be a different issue. In any event – the current issue is in her foot. Classy’s right front also has an abscess. The abscessing isn’t just happening here – the periods of heavy rains keeping the ground saturated has caused many to have issues. So much so, that when the vet called to place an order for AnimalIntex this past week, it was out of stock!

Barbara trying to have some quality time with Peaches today but JoJo wasn’t about to let that happen.

JoJo happily, finally found his fly mask! [youtube http://youtube.com/w/?v=jAEGhhX3aP8&list=UUy8E399p_w3EiFJ2hR9J_-g]

[youtube http://youtube.com/w/?v=jAEGhhX3aP8&list=UUy8E399p_w3EiFJ2hR9J_-g]

JoJo was determined to help me pack/wrap Classy’s foot today. LOL

The boys are constantly into something. Always.

We make it a habit to look over into the paddock where Peggy Sue lives often. When she lays down on her left side she can’t get back up. Most of the time she will lay on her right side but sometimes I guess she forgets and feels so good she wants to roll – and roll she does! All the way over onto her left side. Then she can’t get up or roll back over. Her back left leg is straight out – she doesn’t bend it . Her pelvic area suffered a few fractures many years ago when humans tried to pull her baby out. She gets around just fine. She just can’t get up from the left side and we have to roll her back over.

We were told the area where the mass was removed from Attagirl’s ear would get worse before it gets better. Well, so far, it’s looking pretty good.

Cookie is just beautiful.

Remember Missy and Hightower? They are doing great and are SO very much loved! It’s so awesome that these two are together – they have been best friends for a long time.

Good night everyone! This is JoJo making sure he is the center of attention. What a kid! And yes, the clouds were here at the time so no flymask required.

Have a great week, everyone!

Theresa

BHFER October 1st to 3rd Update

October 1st

We picked Baby Legs up in 2009 when he was only a few days old – we found him trying to nurse from his momma that had died almost 2 days earlier. He was his momma’s legacy and he was all legs – so the name Legs (short for Legacy) was perfect. Legacy wasn’t very healthy and the first couple of months were tough – I’ll never forget the 3 distinct times we almost lost him. Plasma, around the clock nursing, and lots of TLC brought him through. Now, he’s a happy 5 year old that is very much loved by his human adoptive mom, Jan Braakman. Legacy – we love you!

Betsy Rose, Ruby, Peggy Sue, and a few others here need sponsors to help with funds to resupply some medications (Previcox and Prascend). We currently need $400. Would anyone like to help?

October 2nd

I knew when I saw CaryLou and Lucy running past the office earlier something was up….. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLzhRWKZfjE
Play Video

Awhile before I saw CaryLou and Lucy running past the office today I had seen JoJo (wearing his flymask) and CaryLou playing.

Poor JoJo – even some rubs on his ears didn’t make him feel any better this evening.

Cookies eyes are doing great! She’s a survivor! Cookie had cancer removed from both third eyelids and from her lower left lid this year. Her UF team had to do reconstructive surgery under the left eye and they did a great job.

October 3rd

I wonder what JoJo and Peaches were talking about so early this morning?

Athena waiting to see Dr. Julia. She’s a very sweet mare.

Betsy Rose is napping in front of her cooler.

Serenity & Bryce need a good home! They have always been together.

It’s that time of year that we need sponsor’s for annual deworming kits! We need to purchase 25 of these kits – they are on sale for $30 a kit! The sale is going through Oct 15th so we’d like to place our order by October 14th. Who would like to sponsor 1 or more? We ask that any donation made for this need be marked for "wormer pack". Getting this taken care of would help tremendously! Thank you all for helping the horses! Only 19 more kits needed!

BHFER September 25th – 30th Update

September 25th

Look how well Bella is doing! This is Brody and Bella practicing up for a trail ride!

Handsome and Attagirl have become friends.

Attagirl clearly had her head buried in hay in her stall. LOL

September 26th

Kiana is doing wonderful – Jody and her family love her to the moon and back!

September 28th

It was another VERY busy weekend! Much got done with help from many others. JoJo always has to be the center of attention!

I’m happy to report that Donovan is doing better. We think (hope and pray) that his abscessing is over. He’s walking much better. We had rains all evening, again, which doesn’t help the ones having abscess issues. The barn has been a busy place – all stalls have pretty much been occupied.

Our wonderful adult "kids" that make us so very proud!

September 30th

The "Welcome Committee" greeting Auntie Sue.
"Auntie Sue you don’t have any flymasks in your car do you? If you do, I don’t need any, ok? Anyways, lookie up in the sky – the clouds are out!" Silly JoJo.

Evidence of the sound of little itty bitty tiny feet. The ground is still soaked and more rains are coming.

Victoria was up today more than she’s been in several days. She has a pretty good size abscess in her front right toe that needs to resolve. But it’s really good to see her feeling better. Please continue to keep her in your prayers.

Attagirl’s ear is healing nicely. Her front feet still need some time – the right one mostly. She’s such a sweet girl.

Remember Lacey? She’s loved very much and is doing great!

Peaches is still mending a soft tissue injury. She had some increased heat in her front right today – she may have an abscess trying to resolve too. Everything is still saturated here. We need the rains to let up for a few days. We have a new volunteer – this was Anita’s 2nd day with us! She tagged with Marie yesterday and with Lisa today. A lot got done but there is always much more to do. We do truly appreciate all of our volunteers – we couldn’t do this without them!

Ginger and Athena are doing well. Athena has put on a bit of weight. Now we just need to get her into shape. Both mares are looking for forever homes.

Hey friends! JoJo invites you to write a review at about us for the GreatNonprofits Top-Rated List! ^tb #bhfer#JoJo
