BH November 19th – 22nd, 2014 Update

November 19th, 2012

Princess has been having some issues so she had an acupuncture treatment today by Dr. Julia Simonson. Princess, a 26 yrs young Arabian, has had Equine Metabolic Syndrome for a few years and may have also developed Cushings Disease – several tests were done on her today. Princess was a Top Ten Working Cow horse in Canada in her younger years! Since she has been with us, she’s had 3 adoptive homes lined up. Each time, just before leaving, something would happen – an eye injury, laminitis, another eye injury – so we decided that Beauty’s Haven will be her forever home.

Princess needs help with her vetting and monthly supplements. Would anyone like to help her? Donations can be made via PayPal to bhfer or directly to Dr. Julia at PayPal jksdvm (please note it for Princess). Dr. Julia’s website, for those of you that don’t know her, is http://juliasimonsondvm.com. Donations can also be made through our “Donate” page on our website at www.bhfer.org. No amount is too small. Her bill for today was $297. This grand mare needs some sponsors.

This volunteer holding Princess while Dr. Julia does acupuncture on her is Audrey Rice.

I came across a photo of Princess with Gentleman this evening – I sure do miss him!

Attagirl came to us in August, a bit underweight and we were told that her coffin bone had penetrated the sole of her front foot. Her feet were a wreck. She had horrible thrush – the corium was exposed and it was a bloody mess. This issue has gotten better. Dr. Ryan Meeks did x-rays just to be sure there were no other issues. She also had a sarcoid on her ear that was successfully treated. Her immune system was just weak and stressed. But she put on weight and was doing well. Attagirl was examined today by Dr. Julia. Attagirl has had diarrhea off and on – just when we think everything is good, it’s not. More lab work was done today. Attagirl also needs sponsors to help her with vetting and supplements. Would anyone like to help her? Donations can be made by clicking on the links posted above.

Peaches napping in the sun and out of the wind this morning. She is going to need additional tests done to determine why she is intermittently lame in her front right foot.

For those of you who remember Domino, here’s a recent picture of her! Domino came to us only hours old in May 2012. She had been rejected by her mom. Yes, we spoiled her rotten – she’s another donkey that thinks she’s 1/2 human. LOL! She’s happy and doing well. Thank you Tania for giving Domino a great home and job that she enjoys!

Domino as a baby.

She loved her bottle!

They All Just Love Extra Attention!

September 21st, 2013

Betsy Rose visiting with Jane and Steve yesterday.  Betsy Rose is loved by everyone! And she loves the attention!

CaryLou, Harvey, and Wally enjoy visitors too. They look like little powder puffs with their fuzzy coats.

Penny isn’t a baby anymore! She won’t be as big as her momma. She was singing this am to a donkey at the neighbors. It was so cute. Her bray has gotten so much stronger and louder!

Penny demanding all of the attention yesterday. That’s her mom, Penelope, trying to take a siesta. Penny loves to take the humans water bottles, cell phones, etc.

Nadia is getting quite a tummy on her. I think we’re going to have her palpated. We don’t know about her history other than she had a baby pulled from her a couple of months before she came to us. She’s a really nice 16 yr old Warmblood.

Gracie smiles for the camera.

Bouie makes faces. LOL

Nevada has the kindest eyes. He looks great in pink too.

Nevada will be leaving for his new home tomorrow. He will be less than 15 minutes away. It’s always bittersweet when they leave but this is what we do. They all deserve a good forever home.

Have a great Sunday, Everyone!

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!

Betsy Rose, Solace, Mo, & the Minis

July 24th – 25th, 2013

Solace has an infection that is believed to originate from a cracked tooth all the way in the back of his mouth.  The infection may have made its way to his sinus’.  He will be going to the hospital today – we’ll see what more x-rays show and go from there.

This is Solace the day he arrived back in December 2012. Imagine how thin he was without the unhealthy winter coat.

It seemed to take forever with Solace at the hospital today.  They did a dental exam, blood work, x-rays, and scoped him.  What they found is an almost perfect 3/8″ hole in the top of his mouth that goes into his sinus cavity.  We need to continue to monitor him as we have been and treating his symptoms.  He’s a good boy.  At least he didn’t have to have any teeth pulled.  Solace getting x-rays.

Solace being scoped.

This is Betsy Rose introducing Freckles to Dr. Bess.  She’s very proud of her little friend! Dr. Bess wants to give Betsy a couple more weeks before sedating her to get to her horrible back teeth. Betsy Rose is gaining weight nicely.  She’s a captivating little mare that makes us all smile.  “Hi Dr. Bess! Freckles here – up here!!!  I hang out with Betsy Rose all of the time – were BFF!  She’s doing really good and everyone is so good to her – she’s loved!  She appreciates everyone and everything done for her.  She’s told me more than once that she’s more than thankful that she was given another chance – she loves life!”

Dr. Bess was totally in awe of the gifts that Betsy Rose has received! And she thinks Freckles is great!

Betsy Rose was a bit more lively today than she was the first time Dr. Bess met her.

Betsy Rose enjoyed her walk yesterday.  After grazing a bit, she wanted to nap.  So we let her.  She pretty much gets what she wants.  LOL  She is a tiny little girl that has a huge heart – she makes us all smile.  Betsy Rose is simply amazing and adorable!  She needs to build muscle and she is – it’s hard to tell looking at the pictures – but she is.  Slow and steady…  Yes, Betsy Rose is still thin but she’s put on a good amount of weight.  She is more steady on her feet each day.  She’s a fighter that believes she can – and she will!

Beautiful even when taking a rest.

I will be so happy for Betsy Rose when she is able to stay out of the sling.  It’s going to take a bit more time but I’ll know when the time is right.  She’s come a long way.

Betsy Rose. I think her name is just perfect. When I met her the name “Betsy” came to mind. I rubbed her forehead and saw the “design” on it and thought about rose bushes that my mom used to grow. Silly, I guess. But I like it and I think she does too!

Betsy Rose – what more can I say?  She’s simply adorable!

The new flymasks are here!  Look at these boys – they are styling!

Harvey and Gracie.  Harvey is growing like a weed!  Dr. Lugo really did a great job putting Harvey’s little kneecap back where it should have been.

This is Mo.  He’s a 13 yr old Arabian gelding that is looking for a forever home.  He’s got a really great personality and a bit of brio – if only I were younger.  I just adore Arabians! Mo is smart and he loves to please.  Dr. Bess did his teeth yesterday.

Have a great night, everyone.

Theresa
