November 25th

Dayo is on board now with Pine Valley Acres Transport (http://www.pinevalleyacres.com/transportation.html) on his way home to his human Deborah Snow in Maryland. It was hard to see him off for the last time. We had to load him on Pam’s trailer and then she helped transfer him onto the transport trailer (it was too big to get to where Dayo was living) at another location. It was a wonderful experience to be able to help and work with Dayo until he could go home. My time with him will always be remembered and treasured. He is accepting human touch now even though he is unsure. He needs to be brave – his entire world is changing. God bless you Dayo! Thank you, Deborah, for giving him a home and a chance. And yes, I’m going to be a nervous wreck until he unloads and settles in his new home.

Dayo has come a long way. He’s a good boy. Not a mean bone in his body.

He will make a very nice horse – he has an Arabian mind and heart.

And he is accepting of human touch now. I miss him, already.

Boo is almost as big as her momma! Daisy’s tumors have started to grow again. Another type of chemo has been started. Please continue to pray for her recovery.

Dayo is home! Thank God and Pine Valley!

Mollie and Dr. Julia today.

Mollies eyes are doing well. Her HR and RR are still elevated. Her blood work came back and it’s better. It was a mess last week. The IV catheter has been removed and she is done with her antibiotics. It’s hard to believe she’s at least 3 years old. She’s pretty stunted. Dr. Julia did some work on Mollie and she felt even better by the time Dr. Julia finished her treatment. She is now happily munching on hay under her shelter. Now, let’s pray that she continues to improve and that she isn’t pregnant.

She’s not feeling great but she’s feeling better. She’s gained some weight too.

It was a very exciting day here this past Friday! Dr. Julia Simonson arranged for Janek Vluggen to visit Beauty’s Haven to work with Betsy Rose and Bella! Janek Vluggen D.O., MRO-EU, EDO® is from Germany and is recognized as the leading expert in the field of modern Equine Osteopathy. To say that I was amazed, would be an understatement! This was taken today of Betsy Rose running with Bronson! It’s short, but it will make you smile!

I got to ride today! If only for a few minutes. We don’t have any draft tack but a halter and lead rope was just fine.

October 26th – 27th, 2013

We hope everyone had a great weekend. It’s been very busy here, as usual.

Some really bittersweet news – our darling donkeys, Penny and Penelope will be going to their adoptive home in just a few days! They are hilarious and we’re going to miss them terribly. But they are going to have a blast in their new home. Their adoptive family fostered Story for us – they are only a few miles away. They are going to be spoiled rotten! They will have their own home and humans for the holidays!

Penny and Penelope

Bronson meeting Penny on Saturday. So cute!

Kylie went with me to spend time with Dayo and Fiona on Saturday. We distracted Fiona with some hay so Dayo could focus on us. I usually go alone but I wanted to gently try to move Dayo a little forward today and thought it best that someone go with me. Plus, it gives Dayo another human who he can learn to trust.

Dayo

Major accomplishment on Saturday! We totally enclosed Dayo in the coral panels where he had no place to go but into the trailer. Kylie sat in front of the trailer and I was behind him controlling the coral panels. He was attentive to both of us but he never got upset once. The noise from a squeaky door made him jump a couple of times, but he didn’t try to bolt and run away. He was very calm about it. Baby steps.

Dayo

Dayo and I had a long conversation today about his future. He is now sticking his head inside the trailer to eat his hay while his back feet remain outside on the ground. I’m moving the hay further into the trailer each day. He’s calmly staying behind the coral panel pen that leads to the trailer. He doesn’t seem to be very worried about being able to run as he was even a week ago when something startled him. He just sort of jumps in place and then settles back down. Fiona happily munched on her own hay as I was working with Dayo.

Dayo

Look at that backside! There’s a lot of power there! I don’t want Dayo to have a bad experience. And my time with him is my quiet time. I hate the thought of him potentially getting hurt if pushed too hard – he may never let anyone doctor him. We are making progress so I’m happy.

Here’s Betsy Rose on Sunday – she’s enjoying the weather – we all are!

Betsy Rose

Peggy Sue got her hooficure on Sunday. We have to put her in the sling in order for Laura to do her feet. For those that don’t know Peggy Sue, she has a bum back leg. It’s basically straight – it doesn’t bend. Her pelvis was fractured in a few places many years ago when her owners pulled her baby from her. Many thanks to Kim and Laura for their help and patience!

Peggy Sue

Eagle got a hooficure yesterday, too. Kim gently rubbed his face and neck and introduced him to some calming oils. But he was fine – a very sweet horse!

Eagle

Have a great week everyone!

Theresa
