A Message from JoJo as Idalia Approaches

Yesterday afternoon, JoJo was concerned because he heard a hurricane might be coming – he saw a kayak on Frosty’s Knoll and Lucy wearing a snorkel. Well, we definitely have a hurricane coming and Lucy was definitely in a snorkel, but I was really proud of her because she was already wearing her EquestriSafe ID collar! We have a ton of things to get done in a short period of time and I’m very thankful that we have collars for the other horses and the dogs.

The hay trailers are empty – we need to make two hay runs and get a load of shavings ASAP in advance of Idalia. If anyone can help we’d really appreciate it. We need to raise $1600.

Please click on the ‘DONATE’ button below if you can assist us at this time. And, see sweet JoJo’s message up close and personal by watching the video below, straight from the donkey’s mouth!

Just One Dollar?

JoJo here again! I hope you all had a very happy Easter and Passover! Everyone here at the rescue had a very nice day although some of my friends were a bit sad as only a few of us were able to have ‘Happy Feet’ in time for Easter.

As you know, we had so many needs arise all at once – Mommy Theresa’s birthday fundraiser; little Warrior’s frightening and serious health issue; and Pearle, my little cat sister’s sad and unexpected delivery of premature kittens. We are so very grateful for all the prayers and contributions that came in during that time and truly understand why helping us have ‘Happy Feet,’ was the least important thing on your list. Sadly, though, things like hooficures and hay are a necessary and ongoing need to keep us all healthy and happy.

So, I was thinking if each of our many supporters could send just one dollar, it would add up so very quickly and before you know it, everyone will have ‘Happy Feet!’

If you can, just click on the ‘DONATE’ button below where you can contribute in a variety of ways. And, if you cannot donate at this time, we truly understand, but you can still help by sharing this with your family and friends.

Never a Dull Moment Here!


It is so hard to believe that spring is just around the corner! And, as always, every six weeks or so, brings yet another round of hooficures.

Mishka was first to receive his hooficure this week and we are forever grateful to have stocks which ensure that our big old Teddy Bear, does indeed, have ‘Happy Feet!’ Mishka also has quite the little harem which does not make Valley Girl very happy. The other day, Jo and Dancer were in the paddock with Valley Girl and Mishka and Jo seemed quite smitten with the big guy. Dancer stayed a little distance away and watched from afar. They all got along quite well, but Dancer was happy when Jo finally joined her to return to another paddock.

And then there are JoJo and Jazzy, having the time of their lives while awaiting their turn with the farrier. There is never a dull moment here at Beauty’s Haven which you can see in the video below.

So, if anyone would like to sponsor a hooficure for one of our ‘Velvet Nosers,’ we would be forever grateful. You may forward your contribution simply by clicking on the ‘DONATE’ button below. If donating via PayPal, please designate your contribution to ‘Happy Feet’ or the name of the horse that you wish to sponsor. All donations are tax deductible and no amount is ever too small.

Thank you for your continued love and support.
Theresa

Beauty on the Mend

Beauty Update

I’m very happy to report that Beauty is better! An abscess finally worked its way out of the bottom of her foot and thankfully, this morning, another blew out from her coronet band so hopefully, she is now, well on the road to recovery.

We also discovered Frodo camped out in Beauty’s stall this morning. Beauty was standing at the feed room door – something she hasn’t done in days. It’s great to see her feeling better.

Kitty Cat

Kitty Cat was given approximately 2 months to live several months ago due to a mast cell tumor that had metastasized. I love that he’s doing well and still greets me at the golf cart every morning. Do I believe in miracles? Always.

Sweet Dreams

“Wishing everyone a Good Night! We hope you have a terrific Thursday!”

Love,
JoJo

A Message from JoJo


Hi everybody – it’s me, JoJo! Me and my friends were worried when Mommy Theresa had to go to the doctor last week – she got sick from food poisoning. She feels better but we still want to do something to help her to help us! Caring for us is a BIG responsibility!

We brainstormed to come up with a way to raise money on a regular basis that will help provide for our hay, grain, supplements, and other things we need. If we can build a base of consistent support, it would help a lot! Mommy Theresa stays super busy all day and into the night – that’s why she doesn’t send out many updates anymore even though she wants to. We think that because of this, donations are down and that’s not good at all.

So guess what we came up with? We created a club in memory of Betsy Rose to help! So won’t you join our “Strive for Five Club?” It’s super easy! Just go to the link below and sign up to give a recurring monthly donation of $5 (or more). If you can’t join at this time, it’s okay, but will you please share this out so maybe others can help us? Our goal is to get at least 2500 recurring monthly subscribers of at least $5! That sounds like a big goal, I know, but Mommy Theresa has 5000 “Friends” on her Facebook Page and we have over 8000 “Likes” on our Facebook Business Page. If we all try really hard, I believe we can do it! So just click on STRIVE FOR FIVE to become part of our club!

Thanks everyone! And thank you Aunties Karen and Sandra for visiting us and for all of your help and ideas!

A Message From Sad JoJo

JoJo here! I’m kinda sad today because Auntie Jeanne told me that we have received very few orders in our Giving Bean Fundraiser which would help all my friends and me here at Beauty‘s Haven.

Auntie Jeanne told me that she just received her order of Giving Bean Coffee and it tastes and smells so good because it is so fresh.

Giving Bean ships online coffee orders the same day they are roasted so your fresh roasts arrive at your door in only 1-3 days from roasting date. It remains ‘fresh,’ with proper care, and is fresher than 99.999% of coffee available on gourmet coffee shelves at fine grocers, and even in fine coffee shops. Freshness counts in coffee, just as it does with breads, fine pastries and so many other foods.

Giving Bean also offers a fine assortment of Teas, Cocoa, Biscotti and Shortbread, all of which make wonderful holiday gifts.

Please consider placing an order to help Beauty‘s Haven. Our rescue will receive twenty five percent of every order placed. Just click HERE to place your order!

Thank you all so very much! Mommy Theresa always tells me that it ‘Takes a Village’ and that our ‘Little Village’ is always there for us which truly makes my heart sing!

Gotta go now! Jazzy is waiting!

Have a good week!

Love,
JoJo

A Serious Dilemma

We have a bit of a serious issue…

The mower broke and while the paddocks look beautiful and the horses and donkeys are happy, there’s simply too much grass! Long grass puts equines at risk for founder which is the last thing any of them need. Bugs are more plentiful and it also puts horses at risk for eye issues, scratches, etc. I’ve included some photos of what a simple grass seed pod can do – JoJo and Beauty have both had eye injuries from grass seed pods. Eye injuries are uncomfortable for the horse/donkey and we humans have to treat the eye several times a day, 24/7. Prevention saves a lot of stress, discomfort, time and money.

JoJo says he has a fix and the paddocks don’t need to be mowed, but they really do – the sooner the better! The cost for the mower repairs is $1421. Of this, $770 has already been raised which leaves a balance of $651. I know we keep asking for help (which I don’t like to do) but we operate totally from donations. If you can’t help financially, we completely understand, but you can still help by sharing this out – invite people to our website and Facebook pages where they can learn about us – perhaps they may even be able to help!

Please consider a tax deductible donation to assist with this emergency. Donations can be made via various means on our website at bhfer.org/donate or via our PayPal address bhfer@earthlink.net. If donating via PayPal, please designate your donation for ‘Mower,’ and if you select the tab for ‘Friends or Family,’ no fees will be deducted from your contribution. Our PayPal.me account is paypal.me/bhfer. All donations are greatly appreciated and no amount is ever too small.

On behalf of our ‘Velvet Nosers,’ thank you, all, from the bottom of our hearts!

The really long grass is beautiful but it’s something none of the horses and donkeys need as grass seed pods can cause eye injuries and grass can cause founder.

A mower is essential to keep the paddocks safe for the horses and donkeys.

JoJo has his own idea…

“Wait! Please stop! You don’t need to mow because all of us donkeys and horses will take care of it by eating it!”

Bob is still recuperating from open heart surgery but he’s looking forward to getting back to work.

JoJo had an eye injury caused by a long piece of grass that became lodged under his lower eyelid.

You could clearly see the injury once Dr. Ted stained it.

Beauty also experienced an eye issue a few years ago. Dr. Ryan, upon examination, discovered a seed pod stuck in her eye, but even after removal, the damage had already been done.

Beauty’s ulceration had to be treated several times a day around the clock, but sadly, her eye remains permanently scarred.

Poetry in Motion!

Venus & Nadia

These two lovely Arabians still need sponsors to help with their ongoing care. They were adopted out a few years ago but had to return to the rescue a few weeks ago through no fault of their own. Nadia is 21 years young and is truly, a lovely mare. As you can see in this video, Venus, a 32 years young bay, is truly, “Poetry in Motion!”

We can’t do what we do without support from others. And providing proper care of a horse isn’t inexpensive. Please consider making a one time donation or a monthly recurring donation to help these beautiful girls. All donations are tax deductible and no amount is too small. Thank you.

Paypal: bhfer@earthlink.net
Website: bhfer.org/donate

Sophie went to keep another horse company for a few months but recently returned. She gets along with everyone and is so very easy to love. She is now looking for a forever home as a companion or trail horse.

Sophie has no sponsors to help with her care. Isn’t there anyone who would like to help with her needs by making a one time or recurring monthly tax deductible donation?

JoJo really does try to help as you can see by clicking here to view his latest ‘Public Service Announcement.’

Hooficures are scheduled for many horses next week. Would anyone like to help? We need to raise $575. Perhaps someone would like to offer a match game? Donations are tax deductible and can be made via various ways on our website at www.bhfer.org/donate. Our PayPal address is bhfer@earthlink.net. If you can help, please note that your donation is for ‘hooficures.’

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend and thank you, all, for your continued love and support!
