SOMEBODY’S KNOCKING AND BABY RAY IS BACK!

Saving Grace

Baby Ray is home_322pxNovember 9th, 2017

Baby Ray is back from his foster home as Athena, his pasture mate, has been adopted! Baby Ray is now all grown up!  He came to us as a few months old orphan, skin on bones, after having been listed as “Free on Craigslist.” He was born blind due to congenital cataracts. The cataracts were removed at UF and he can now see, albeit he has no lenses and is unable to focus normally.

Little Grace just loves her new home! And her foster family has fallen in love with her – so much so that they are adopting her! Grace has been blessed with her own human family! And we were blessed to be able to help her when she needed us, thanks to the wonderful assistance and support from our village!

Magic is still stunning! Notice the two birds? They are never very far from him. Magic was a bit under the weather for a few days, but thankfully, he is now feeling better.

There must me something magical about the stairs to the office – I never know who I’m going to find there!

These little ones are doing so well. They’re steadily gaining weight and are very happy! Cricket never fails to greet you with a whinny!

We are very thankful to everyone who helped with their needs. They love attention and would make a wonderful addition to a family looking for little ones to love on. If anyone is interested in adopting Jiminy and Cricket,  please read our “Adoption Requirements” in the Notes section on our Beauty’s HavenAdoption Page prior to contacting us.

Penny is such a sweet and trusting girl. She’s a Belgian that was born blind and is about 30 years young. Please consider giving Penny a home for the holidays. She’s an absolutely wonderful and kind mare with lots of love to give.

JoJo knocking at the office door – he wanted to make sure we didn’t forget to turn the clocks back an hour on Sunday. He was so excited at the thought of turning back time! Silly donkey!

Jiminy’s Visit with Dr. Bess

Billys Visit with Dr. Bess

 

 

 After the mini’s arrival, I noticed right away that Jiminy was quidding. He could not chew the hay that was on the ground. Although Billy tried to eat, he ended up spitting out balls of semi-chewed food.

This alone could make a horse depressed as well as cause weight loss. This is usually caused by issues with the teeth and it could indicate that he’s experiencing pain in his mouth.

We fed soft, mushy meals to Jiminy and Cricket until they could be seen by the dentist. Both Minis are up there in age – it could be that they don’t have many teeth, or their teeth are worn down, or both.

 

I texted a photo of Billy and his quidding to Dr. Bess Darrow of ‘Tune Ups’ Veterinary Equine Dentistry and Wellness Services to see when she could schedule both Minis. She was at the rescue in less than an hour! It was amazing!

 

Dr. Bess and her assistant, Ashley, are always great with the horses and they do a remarkable job!

Jiminy had no idea what was in store for him and we had no idea that his teeth were so bad. We’re very grateful to Dr. Bess for responding so quickly.

 

Jiminy’s teeth were a mess. He could not chew his food and in the process of trying, it was painful.

You can give a horse all the food in the world but if they are unable to chew it and grind it up in order for the body to process it correctly, they are going to drop in body weight.

 

There were very sharp points – ouch!

 

A view from the side – a twisted long front tooth had grown down over a lower one.

 

It took awhile, but look at the difference! Jiminy will be able to chew. However, he may still quid at times, due to missing and worn teeth.

 

All done with the dental needs – at least all that could be done today. Sometimes, it takes more than one visit to get optimum results. We certainly do appreciate Dr. Bess for responding so quickly! ‘Tune Ups’ Veterinary Equine Dentistry and Wellness Services is awesome!

Happy Feet and a Reminder to Vote

Part II Cricket and Billys Happy Feet

Jiminy and Cricket got hooficures on Friday as there was a lot of licking and chewing going on. Both were very good. We really appreciate Stephanie making time to work them into her busy schedule. Look at that precious face.
Jiminy and Cricket’s hooves were a bit long.
Jiminy was off in his back right – due perhaps, to arthritis in the hip and fetlock joint. A trim may help relieve his discomfort.
Both had thrush in all four feet which we treated. They are better already!
This is one of Cricket’s feet. The “event” rings around the hoof wall indicate interruptions to hoof wall growth. This can be caused by a change in diet, illness, stress, a change in weather, etc.
And now, they both have happy feet thanks to the love and support of our wonderful village!

A New Chapter for Two Older Mini’s

A New Chapter Sophia

On Thursday, we picked up the mini’s – a new chapter in their lives has begun! When it was time to transport them to the rescue, I told Jiminy and Cricket that they were going on an adventure. They walked right onto the trailer. I felt a bit of sadness – they were leaving behind the only home they’d ever known. But their humans did the right thing in reaching out for help – they needed to concentrate on their own well-being as they each were having health issues.
When we received the call asking if we could take in the minis, we knew that we had no available paddocks. However, even if we can’t take in a horse, we try to help by networking in an effort to find a good home.

After visiting with Jiminy and Cricket, and speaking with the owner, we knew we had to find a way as we felt a sense of urgency.  Cricket is 32 years young and Jiminy is 29.  We came up with an idea. We knew Cookie would be proud to help in this endeavor so we set up Cookie’s Corral for them! I miss Cookie so much – there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of her.

 A portable shelter was procured by a supporter and others have promised to help cover the cost of Cricket’s and Jiminy’s needs. The initial costs will be significant (vetting, dental, farrier, etc.)  It takes a village!
The little ones unloaded and settled right into their area.
On Friday, Jiminy and Cricket had a full physical by Dr. Simonson. Both were underweight, dehydrated, and had low body temps.  Jiminy’s heart rate was also low. Of the two minis, Cricket is more lively.
Dr. Julia double checked Jiminy’s heart and confirmed that his heart rate was low but the rhythm was okay. We will be monitoring this and are currently awaiting blood test results.

We truly appreciate any and all help for these sweet Minis and we cannot do this without assistance from others. Our village makes this possible!

If you would like to contribute to the ongoing care of Jiminy and Cricket, you may do so by clicking on the ‘DONATE NOW’ button below or via PayPal: bhfer@earthlink.net. Please designate your donation to ‘Minis.’

Thank you all, for your love and support.

Two Aged Minis in Need, Match Game & Eagle Rare Life

Minis in Need Collage

Minis In Need

I had hoped to send out a more detailed update, but as always, something arises and I am unable to do so, but I need to apprise you of an urgent case involving four mini’s. The owners are elderly – both husband and wife are in the hospital and they can no longer care for their precious horses – a 29 year old stud, a 32 year old mare, and their offspring, a 16 year old mare and a 5 year old stud.
Although we are maxed out and have horses coming back to the rescue, we feel that we simply cannot turn our back on these sweet minis. There is a special urgency regarding the two elderly horses and we have a temporary solution as to where we can put them on the farm, thanks to the help of a supporter. They deserve to live out the remainder of their days, no matter how many that may be, in a loving environment and with proper care. They need coggins, full physicals (including blood work), dentals and hooficures. In order to help them, however, we need sponsors. Please – can anyone help with a one time or recurring monthly donation? We can start with pledges – I will get a cost estimate tomorrow after speaking with the vet. We can’t move forward without help from our village.
The two younger minis are in good shape and also need homes. The 5 year old stud has an issue with a back foot deformity that can be managed. The couple who owns the horses have a son who is willing to oversee the younger ones until a home is found (hopefully soon). They do not have to stay together and we’ve recently been advised that the 5 year old stud may have a home offer. I’d hate to think of the 16 year old mare being left behind, so please, if you may be interested in either of the two younger ones, please contact us and we can put you in touch with the owner’s son.
We also desperately need help placing horses that are ready for adoption – Zahara, Rosita, Baby Ray, Sophie, Tinsel, SeAnna, and others. Kandi and Shaker, two National Show Horse mares,  need placement ASAP –  Kiana will be available after 30 days of training which has been generously sponsored.  Additional information will be sent out about regarding these horses.
 
Match Game

A wonderful friend and supporter has come forth to offer a Match Game, whereby, all donations up to $500, will be matched dollar for dollar. Donations will be applied to medications for the horses.

If you would like to play the Match Game, you may do so via various means on our website at www.bhfer.org or via our PayPal address: bhfer@earthlink.net. If donating via PayPal, please designate your donation for ‘October Match Game.’ If you select the tab for ‘Friends or Family,’ no fees will be deducted from your contribution. Please be assured that all donations are greatly appreciated and no amount is ever considered as being too small.
