December 15th – 29th, 2014 Update

December 15th

Donkey fun in the morning!

Beauty’s Haven Equine Rescue in action!

December 19th

Cookie visiting with Dr. Mangan today. He was her ophthalmologist/surgeon at UF for her cancer earlier this year. Cookie is doing great! He was at the rescue today to assess Daisy.

Hollie and Starbuck – both found loving forever homes last year.

December 22nd

Betsy Rose getting her little foot treated. We think she has a little abscess brewing.

A beautiful gift from a beautiful and dear friend. It needs no words. Gentleman may not be physically with us this year but I promise you – his spirit is strong and will never leave us. Sometimes, I can almost feel him breathing over my shoulder. I just wish I could turn around and hug him and never let go.

It’s very satisfying to see Betsy Rose tucked in and slurping away on her mash under the heat lamps. I’ll be back in the office in the morning to work on the calendar and, hopefully, I’ll finish it up. Good night everyone.

December 23rd

Joshua making sure Betsy Rose eats all of her dinner. It’s always nice when the kids come home.

JoJo and CaryLou both wanted all of Ruth’s attention today.

Peaches is doing well. There is still issue with her front right but she seems happy and comfortable and glad to be home.

December 24th

At this time last year, Ceri and Garan left for their forever home where they are truly loved. Thank you Cindy for opening your heart and home to these two lovely Arabians!

JoJo is truly amazed with the tree and its ornaments. Watching them learn new things, just like our kids did when they were little, is an awesome experinece. It’s truly a blessing to have the opportunity to help these donkeys and horses. Thank you all for your support and for being part of our Village!

A little Donkey Christmas ‘tail!’

December 26th

Betsy Rose doesn’t want Christmas to be over.

December 28th

The weekend is over and I still haven’t been able to sit long enough to put out an update.  CaryLou thinks he’s as big as Mishka.  lol

December 29th

It’s been so busy over the last few days even JoJo reported to the office a few times to help out.

BH Weekend Update On Oh So Many!

November 24th – 25th, 2013

We found a blanket for Mollie to wear tonight – the cold snuck up on us! It’s a bit small but her new one should arrive this week. Her eyes look better. Dr. Ryan will be out tomorrow to examine her again and do more blood work to see how… she’s progressing. Her appetite is good but she’s running a little bit of a temperature. She’s still on IV antibiotics and gets other supplements as well. You can see the Arabian in her – she’s a proud little girl and we’re very proud of her! She’s a fighter! I’m so glad she held on and that she never gave up – she had been on the ground overnight and until we got to her that day. She deserves everything she’s been deprived of, and more. Her stunted growth is some evidence of her past. Like Betsy Rose, we’ll do our best to make sure all of Mollie’s tomorrow’s are what her past should have been. We love you Mollie!

Betsy Rose introducing her new little friend with angel wings to Bronson.

This is Classy. We had to take her to UF a few years ago because she had to have a permanent tracheotomy. She can’t whinny because of it. She’s a very sweet mare.

Peggy Sue – she’s so cute! She can’t bend her back left leg. Her pelvis was fractured in 3 places when her breeder/owner pulled a baby from her years ago. Peggy Sue is adorable! She’s lost a few lbs which is a good thing!

Gentleman – he’s an icon here that is simply a treasure. He’s an older Percheron that we pray is with us for many more years to come. He’s loved so much!

CJ is doing very well. He will be looking for a home as a pasture pal. He’s beautiful.

Garan is still looking for a home! He’s handsome, funny, and loving!

It would be really nice if Ceri and Garan found a forever home together! They are both really nice registered Arabians.

This is Indy’s Rising Son. We call him Indy. He’s had a good year of training under him and is looking for a home. He’s not going to be a big boy even though his mom was a Percheron cross. His past is a sad one even though he was born here.

Can’t forget Little E! He’s an elderly Arabian – another that everyone adores!

Almost forgot Solace!

It was a very exciting day here this past Friday! Dr. Julia Simonson arranged for Janek Vluggen (from Germany) to come to Beauty’s Haven to work with Betsy Rose and Bella! Janek Vluggen D.O., MRO-EU, EDO® is recognized as the leading expert in the field of modern Equine Osteopathy. To say that I was amazed, would be an understatement! I’ll share more tomorrow – I’m crashing on a project and need to finish up some things. Have a great night all!

Theresa

Betsy Rose and the Boys

July 27th – 28th, 2013

We took Betsy Rose out for a walk on Saturday morning. Things were a bit busy because the fly mister system is being installed. She was startled by something and jumped away too fast and fell down. We took advantage of the situation and let her take a good nap. When she woke up, we had someone on all sides of her and with little help, she hopped up! Out of the bad of going down, came the good of a great nap and the encouragement of getting up! Her journey to recovery brings back good memories of watching our kids learn to walk and even when they learned to ride a bike. There where bumps along the way, but that’s what it took for them to learn to thrive on their own. We are very proud of our kids and their accomplishments and we are proud of Betsy Rose, too!

“Mommy Theresa can you make the others be quiet for a bit? Betsy Rose is FINALLY taking a nap and I don’t want her to be disturbed.” Freckles is such a considerate friend!

Betsy Rose had a great Sunday – she is slowly gaining strength. Freckles is always close by cheering her on. She is still adorable.

Betsy Rose did take a couple of good naps today. I’m looking forward to the day when she can stay out of the sling. I think she’s going to be a little mare that can be quite opinionated!

Garan came to the rescue today. He had been staying at a foster home but not putting on weight like we think he should. He’ll be going on the same feed schedule as Gentleman, Little E, and Solace. He’s a magnificent registered Arabian gelding that is looking for a forever home. It took a couple of hours, but the boys finally settled down and now Garan is grazing next to the rest of them.

Harvey got to play with the boys! CaryLou looks funny – he was playing under the sprinkler. Humans coming to Beauty’s Haven beware – the boys are all together! Enter their paddock at your own risk! LOL!

CaryLou and Harvey play games. Wally tries to ignore Harvey. I have to wonder what Gracie thinks about all of this. She’s got the patience of a Saint! However, she has double barreled Harvey a few times this past week – he’s getting a bit too frisky and I’m concerned about her getting his kneecap. Letting him out with the boys likely brings her some relief.

Solace watching Harvey while waiting for dinner.

Horses at the end of a rainbow – proof that they really are a treasure!

Have a great week!
