Lightning and Satin, the two horses that we have been feeding off-site, arrived and settled in nicely on Wednesday afternoon. As you may remember, several months ago their owner, who had a very serious health issue, reached out to us for assistance. It was apparent when we met the horses that they needed help immediately, but since we didn’t have room for them at the rescue, we opted to feed and deworm them etc. where they were until we could bring them in. They have now gained needed weight and are truly looking much better. Many thanks to Pamela Zarem, owner of Double B Equine Transport, for safely and lovingly transporting her precious cargo to Beauty’s Haven.
Lightning and Satin had their physicals on Thursday and both were very well behaved for Dr. Elisabeth D’Agosto who did their exams and bloodwork. The tests revealed some high and low values which are quite consistent with horses that have not been fed a proper diet. I simply love hearing the sound of them now happily munching on their hay without a care in the world!
Satin is a very nice mare. Lightning, well, he is just an in your pocket clown.
Both seemed very appreciative of their “spa day” this weekend when Pam and Pat gave each a much needed bath! Lightning and Satin will go through rehab and will be made available for adoption when they’re ready.
If anyone would like to help with their monthly expenses, it would be greatly appreciated. (Please note that your donation is for Lightning & Satin.)
Thank you, all, and please stay safe!
Sincerely,
Theresa
Dr. Cardona (El Sol) was at the farm last week to check on Penny and Frodo. While he was here, he did a new Coggins on Zahara as well as microchipped her.
Zahara left for ‘school’ on August 1st. We’re so excited that she will be learning new things! She normally doesn’t like to load, but, as usual, Pam of Double B Equine Transport, was very patient with her.
It didn’t take long for Zahara to walk right onto the trailer and then, off to school they went!
Zahara, is yet another Beauty’s Haven Miracle thanks to our wonderful and dedicated village of supporters. Through your generosity, love and support, you have helped us grant this beautiful mare a second chance at life, a life without pain and worry, a life with dignity and respect. 
We are so very thankful to Jayne O’Brien Myrick for opening her heart and home to Kandi and Shaker! Many thanks to Pamela Zarem of Double B, for transporting the girls to their new home. And many thanks to Susie and Catherine for helping with the transportation costs.
Kandi and Shaker’s life before they arrived at Beauty’s Haven in 2010, was a horrible one – it was a large hoarding case of many horses. Shaker survived (many didn’t) with a baby (Kandi) on her side and she was pregnant again. Kandi is her best friend – it means the world to us that they will forever remain together. This was Shaker, lying helplessly on the ground, a few days before they were released to us. Kandi, as a foal, was standing nearby with an older mare named Asiya – both watched on as Shaker suffered through colic. If you look closely, you can see the remains of others that sadly did not survive, scattered in the background.
Michie and Bruce visited last week! We haven’t seen them since their last visit ten years ago! It was great to see them once again and Betsy Rose truly loved the extra attention.
Ruby just loves it when Katie visits with her.
It was really great to see Barbara over the weekend!
