A Match Game For Our Special Needs Horses!

We are in need of a pallet (50 bags) of Fibre-Beet from Emerald Valley as we are down to our last four bags. Buying it by the pallet directly from Emerald Valley is the most economical way in which to purchase this amazing product (even with the cost of shipping.) Elyza Rose, Little E and other special needs horses that comprise our beloved little herd, are fed Fibre-Beet daily. Some are fed multiple times a day (smaller portions). The product is soaked in water and fed as a mash.

When we have colicky horses, this product is a great way in which to keep them hydrated. Fibre-Beet is excellent for horses that have, or are at risk for, laminitis, ulcers, and Cushing’s. A bag retails for $41 but we do receive a discount. We would like to raise $1775 to cover the 50 bags, including the cost of shipping, which will last us about one year. Please CLICK HERE to view a testimonial that we wrote several years ago about the way in which Fibre-Beet made an incredible difference in the lives of our beloved Asiya, Mystical, Itsuko and Baby Girl.

To kick off this fundraiser, two wonderful friends and supporters are offering a Match Game to assist with this effort, and all donations up to $500, will be matched dollar for dollar! If you would like to participate in the Match Game, you may do so via various means on our WEBSITE. Please make certain to note that your donation is for the ‘Fibre-Beet Match Game.’ All donations are so greatly appreciated and no amount is ever considered as being too small.

On behalf of all the ‘Velvet Nosers’ at Beauty’s Haven, thank you so very much for your love and support!

Penny

Penny, a blind 30+ year old Belgian mare, has been dropping in weight and just hasn’t been herself lately, so we had Dr. Julia examine her and do some blood tests. There were a few highs and lows in her bloodwork. Penny has allergies and she may have ulcers. Dr. Julia recommends Succeed for two months as well as Forefront, and she suggests that we add Renew Gold to her diet. She was lame on her front right for a few days, but after having blown an abscess, she is now, much happier and comfortable. Penny is also due to have annual dental work done.

Penny needs help for two months of Succeed ($220), Forefront ($140), and Renew Gold ($90) which adds up to $450. She will also need help with her dental care but we can tackle that once we have an appointment scheduled.

If you’d like to help this grand old girl, you can make a one time tax deductible donation, or sign up to make an automatic monthly recurring donation, via our secure WEBPAGE. There, you have the option of making your donation in honor/memory of someone and you can cancel a recurring donation at any time. Or, you can donate through Network For Good or JustGiving. These links can also be found on our donate page along with our snail mail address. You can also donate via PAYPAL and if you select the tab, ‘Send Money to Friends or Family,’ no fees will be deducted from your contribution. Please note that your contribution is for ‘Penny.’ Please be assured that all donations are greatly appreciated and no amount is ever too small. If you’re not in a position to donate at this time, we truly understand, but you can still help by sharing this post!

Thank you all, so very much, for your continued love and support!
