Christmas Blessings and New Memories

December 25th – 28th, 2013

Santa was very good to the horses – treat stuffed stockings for everyone!

Trixie in her cute little “minion” outfit at Christmas. LOL

Ceri and Garan settled in well at their new home – it isn’t the same without them but they have their own human family now – just in time for Christmas!

December 27th

Our son, Joshua, finally made it home for Christmas!

December 28th

It was a busy day today but we did get to have some fun. The weather wasn’t great though.

ADORABLE!

Magnum is doing well but still needs to gain weight. We gave him another good bath today. He had many open sores on the sides of his face, chest, legs, and under his tummy when he got here a couple of weeks ago but they have mostly healed. His little buddy Pistol, the mini jack, will be gelded next week.

It’s a little dark but this is Molly watching GMan eat from the big bale of hay under the shelter. She’s feeling great and is all over the place. She swings her neck/head around just like an Arabian and is a joy to watch!

Beauty – it’s because of her that Beauty’s Haven “is”.

Cookie chilling in her stall. Paul was at the back of the barn taking inventory of donations of blankets, wraps, etc.

CJ ran and played today even though he is permanently lame and needs a home as a pasture pal where, ideally, there is only one or two other horses. Here, there are so many horses and anytime others start running, he wants to join in. He needs calm. It really bothers me when he tries to run – he’s lame and it makes him so uncomfortable. Please help us to find him a suitable home. No adoption fee.

Don’t forget to buy your Betsy Rose calendar before they are all gone! Just click on the link and it will take you to our store!

Have a great Sunday, everyone!

It Wasn’t Me So Says Betsy Rose!

November 4th, 2013

“It wasn’t me! I’d never think about getting into the breakfast meals!” so said Betsy Rose Sunday morning while I was loading up the golf cart with many tubs of feed, flymasks, etc. for my morning chores. I could never get upset with anything she does. Ever. She just makes you smile no matter what she is doing! There’s just a beautiful aura about her – always!

CaryLou, Wally, and Bronson in the background taking a siesta. Bronson make sure he gets his daily naps in.

Little Brandi is not quite 2 years old. She’s a little bossy – but sweet.

Garan – he is a beautiful horse! He is a 15 year old Arabian gelding looking for a forever home!

Garan is so funny. He pins his ears at everything. But he’s a real sweetheart that also loves attention!

They are just all starving for attention. LOL!

I had to share this – this doggie is so much like my Popper dog!

Betsy Rose – And a Swish of Her Tail and 273 lbs! Updates on Others!

August 9th – 11th, 2013

Dr. Julia came to visit with Betsy Rose on Friday. Penny greeted Dr. Julia as usual – she ran alongside her car until it was parked and then went right around to greet her.

After a few scratches, off we went to see Betsy Rose. Well, she wasn’t where I left her. We walked around the barn and no Betsy. We called for her. Then we heard it – an itty bitty whinny. Guess where we found her? In the shavings room where we keep a couple of bales of hay – she had helped herself and made a mess in the process! But it was all good – it just means she’s ready to get her back teeth done! Dr. Bess will be here on Wednesday to finish her up!

Betsy Rose – slowly but surely gaining. She’s up to about 273 lbs.

I know this picture is fuzzy but do you see something you’ve never seen before? Yes, Betsy Rose is now swishing her tail! Muscle is returning! It took weeks before she could even lift her tail to go poop. Now she is able to swish! So proud of this little mare!!!

“Mommy Theresa says a lot of humans think that we are adorable Freckles!”

Penny is hilarious! “Please Dr. Julia – just one little kiss on the nose?”

Penny knows that Auntie Karen Andreu brings apples! That’s Sisco in the back – he got apples too.

Solace after breakfast. Gentleman and Little E are in the background beneath a tree that has an overhead mister in it. The misters help tremendously – wish we had more trees and misters but we are very thankful for the ones we do have. When we moved here a few years ago, we had no trees and it was miserable with no shade. Shade is a true blessing.

Solace got a bath today by one of our awesome volunteers – Katherine Rivera!

Genesis enjoying the shade of another tree.

Garran and Little E – both Arabian geldings.

This evening, I played with Beauty for the first time since she foundered and rotated earlier this year! For months, it was thought she wouldn’t be able to go back to work but I never stopped believing in her. She needs some conditioning, but that’s ok – she’s sound! Having patience can be hard sometimes, but it was well worth the wait! Beauty is the reason Beauty’s Haven came to be! I’m so happy!

Please consider a one time donation or a recurring monthly donation to help the Beauty’s Haven horses – no amount is too small and all contributions are greatly appreciated! Our PayPal address is bhfer@earthlink.net. Donations can be made by various methods via our website – the link is below. Our snail mail address is BHFER, PO Box 53, Morriston, FL 32668. Please share and help us to keep doing what we do. The horses depend on us and we need to depend on others to make this possible. We are not funded by any County, State, or Federal governments. Please share – thank you! Thank you, everyone. Have a great week!
