Beau is just the cutest boy! Not just because he’s an Arabian, but because he just is! Upon his arrival at Beauty’s Haven, Beau had a Nasal discharge and a cough which did get better over time. He was in QT for at least three weeks and then we moved him to the other side of the property away from the lime rock road which blows dust throughout the paddocks. While in his new paddock, his cough and nasal discharge continued to improve. He never had a temperature and he has always had a good appetite. Out of an abundance of caution, however, we had him scoped and he is now, thankfully, clean! As soon as we figure out where to put him, he will be sharing a paddock with other horses for the time being.

On the last Sunday in March, we thought we would be needing an ark due to the extremely heavy rains, but thankfully, we did successfully weather the storm! March truly did “Go Out like a Lion!”

Then on April Fools Day, Amira seemed to enjoy the joke that she played on us! The prior evening, we had gone to bed with the knowledge that there were only three horses in one of the paddocks. The next morning, however, we discovered that there were now, four! Amira had walked through the electric tape during the night, which thankfully, was turned off, to join her friends. And then there were four!

Lastly, CaryLou and Jazzy, together with JoJo, continue to bring us so much joy and laughter as they are always up to some type of shenanigans especially when it involves a golf cart!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Recently, we were contacted about four horses that needed homes. We couldn’t take them all, but we did bring in one, an older Arabian mare who needed extra care sooner than later. We named her Kalista and she is doing just fine as is our sweet boy, Flint. As for the other three, prayers were answered and we were able to find a good home for them, together! They were vetted last week; their Coggins arrived on Friday and they traveled to their new home over the weekend.

We would also like to introduce Beau, another newcomer. We don’t know much about his past but I can tell you that he’s been through quite a bit emotionally.

He was vetted a few days ago and his blood tests results showed quite a few high and low values – his immune system has truly taken a beating. He’s in quarantine with a snotty nose and cough, believed to be caused by allergies. His temperature is normal as are his respiration and heart rates, he eats well and he is active. He has been dewormed and his fecal count came back positive.

Physically, Beau doesn’t look very bad, but mentally, he has some healing to do. Mental stress can lead to physical illness. For now, he gets to just mellow out and experience the joy of just being a horse.

We don’t post updates as often as we’d like, but please believe that we are constantly working to help horses here and anywhere we can. But we can only do this because of your support. You ALL make a difference! Thank you!

Sincerely,
Theresa
