Candace thriving, Jo holding her own

She’s Got Legs!

Candace was barely holding on the day we picked her up together with her momma, Sophia, (who has since asked that her name be changed to “Lady Sophia” so, “Lady Sophia” it is!). Both were in very poor condition, but they pulled through and I truly believe that they are going to be just fine. Both are happy and healthier and Candace is growing stronger by the day. Lady Sophia is simply stunning and is truly one of the sweetest mares I’ve ever met.

And now, for a guaranteed smile-maker: Click on the image above to view a video of Candace, and be certain that you watch until the end! Candace is a survivor, just like her momma and she is having a blast discovering just what her long legs can do!

This is what three short weeks of TLC can accomplish thanks to the love and support of our amazing little village.

It is because of each and every one of you that this little miracle and her momma are with us today.

Update on Jo

Dr. Wyman examined Jo last Tuesday. Blood tests were done and based upon the results, it appears that Jo (35 years old) is having age related kidney issues. We will be constantly monitoring Jo and modifying her diet and supplements. She’s such a very sweet mare. If anyone would like to help Jo with her recent vet bill and needed supplements (about $400), it would be so greatly appreciated. All contributions are tax deductible and no amount is ever too small. Thank you!

Born to run!

Who is this masked bandit?!

So very blessed to be a part of Candace and Sophia’s life. They are improving by the day. How this filly pulled through with such great odds stacked against her was nothing short of a miracle. They arrived just two weeks ago today! Please click on Candace’s photo to view a video which will truly make your heart sing!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,
Theresa

Sophia & Candace taking it day by day

Dr. Emily and Mandi came back on Friday to do follow-up blood and fecal tests on Candace and Sophia to see if there has been any improvement. I’ll provide an update as soon as I am able. In the meantime, “hooficure” day for Sophia and Candace was a success, they were great! Our farrier Josh was very patient with Candace. It was her first trim, we are so proud of our baby girl!

Thank you all for your love and support!

Sincerely,
Theresa

Standing Tall

Candace here! Look how tall I’m standing now! I’m still really skinny but I’m better than I was and I’m going to keep getting better! Please click on my picture to the left to see a video of me standing tall while talking to my new friends!

Restoring Her Glory

Isn’t Sophia stunning? She is on her way to becoming the proud girl that she once was, thanks to the love and support from our amazing little village of friends and supporters!

New Arrivals – Mare and Foal

June 9th, 2018

[dropcaps] T [/dropcaps] hese two beautiful souls that arrived at Beauty’s Haven a few days ago, are a prime example of irresponsible breeding at its finest. The baby appears to be approximately six months old and she hasn’t been handled. The mare isn’t her mom but she was exposed to a stud and may be pregnant – she’s thin but she has quite a tummy coupled with a bag.  Neither of these precious horses want anything to do with humans – they are going to be a project. I can’t wait to get that horrible coat off the baby.  She must have been miserable during our recent, “feels like 108 degrees” days.  Once we get her coat off, she’s going to be thin, too, but not for long! Both the mare, and baby, are currently in quarantine.

If you would like to sponsor either of these sweet little ones or contribute to their initial veterinary, farrier and/or dental expenses, you may do so via various means at https://bhfer.org/donate/. If donating via PayPal, please designate your donation to: ‘New Arrivals.’ If you select the tab, ‘Send Money to Friends or Family,’ no fees will be deducted from your contribution. All donations are tax deductible and no contribution is ever considered as being too small.

Thank you all, for always being there for the Beauty’s Haven herd.

Update on Bella and baby

July 12th, 2012

Just a quick update…

Bella got somewhat of a much needed bath today. Still working on that mane. We couldn’t stay out long because the baby isn’t supposed to be out. Bella has layers of dirt so it’ going to take a couple more baths to get her good and clean. She really is a doll. Jean drove up today to help out – thanks Jean!!

Baby managed to get the catheter out of his neck so the vet is coming back out to put another in. I’m so sorry to have to put the baby through this again. It wasn’t wrapped but you can bet that this time it will be. He is still straining to go poo. It’s hard to believe that momma is providing more milk already but she is – she actually has a little bit of a bag. J

Have to run – the vet just got here.
