October 26th…

Prayers please. Aaleyah Belle is colicing.

LUCY’S BELL, SILLY DONKEYS, & BEAUTY

October 18th…

Thanks to Bonnie, Lucy now has a bell that she wears so that Sawyer can better keep track of her. Sawyer is an elderly pony with greatly diminished vision. He often gets upset when he can’t find his BFF, Lucy. Thank you Bonnie!

October 21st…

Even in the early morning sunrise, JoJo and Jazzy play.

“Good morning, Mommy Theresa! Come on, let’s get the day going! It’s Friday you know. And lookie – me and Jazzy already put our fly masks on!”

October 22nd…

Beauty is always beautiful – even in her flymask.

Our first hay purchase of the fall season. Very glad it’s available but not happy with the extra expense.

“Mommy Theresa, does this little guy look like me? Even if he does, there’s only one me, right? Is he going to stay? Jazzy and I think he really wants a home of his own!”

Mini Me JoJo is adorable! He even likes to help out in the office! He would make a great addition to any family.

JoJo is too big to come into the office now, but when he used to do so, he was very helpful. And whenever I worked on the computer, he asked a bazillion questions. He’s a hoot!

“IT WASN’T ME” Says the Little Donkey!

September 21st…

JoJo was looking for anyone who would play ball today.

Many thanks to Judy for clipping Sawyer again – he feels so much better and he looks great! Judy is Timmie and Foxy’s adoptive mom. Judy has clipped Sawyer a couple of times this year – he gets pretty shaggy as he has cushings. We’re so blessed that he’s still with us – he had some bad seizures a few months ago and it wasn’t looking good. But he didn’t give up and he’s doing great!

Two donkeys on a mission which was most likely looking for JoJo’s mask!

September 24th…

Elizabeth and Bri surprised us and came out to spend the day! We had a great time – it’s always wonderful to see them. Waylon really enjoyed some extra attention from Bri.

“Mommy Theresa it wasn’t me! That big hole dug by the gate – that was Jazzy’s doing! I told him not to do it but he wouldn’t listen. I tried putting all the dirt back in the hole. And then I rolled around and around to flatten it out so nobody would notice and so Jazzy wouldn’t get in trouble but there’s not enough dirt. I don’t know where it went!”

I wonder if JoJo realizes that he’s wearing the missing dirt?!

An Obstacle Challenge & More!

We apologize for the delay in this and the next couple of updates that didn’t go out on time.

September 16th…

Some wonderful news to share about Spirit – she’s ready to go to her new forever home! As soon as we raise funds for her journey to Oklahoma, she will be on her way! Her wonderful adopter has experience with blind horses and the perfect pasture awaiting her arrival! Spirit will even have her very own donkey friend!

Everyone loves Lucy! We appreciate Foxy and Timmie’s mom, Judy, volunteering her time to hold horses for the farrier.

September 17th…

Poor Jingle! The equine complained that it wasn’t fair that the bovine did not have to wear a fly mask. So……

September 18th…

Beauty’s Haven participated in the Equine Trail Sports Obstacle Course event at Black Prong this past weekend where our wonderful volunteers served breakfast and lunch.

All proceeds from the breakfast and lunch went to Beauty’s Haven and $400 was raised to help the horses! Many thanks to ETS, Black Prong, our awesome volunteers, and everyone that made this happen!

September 19th…

Have you ever seen JoJo with his ears pinned back? Oh my! What do you think was going on?

September 20th…

Magic under the morning moon!

A DAY WITH ANIMAL WARRIORS

September 10th, 2016

Members from Animal Warriors spent a good part of the day helping out – we got some projects done and some of the horses even got a bath! Animal Warriors is a group of like minded individuals from all walks of life who share a common goal of helping animals with active volunteer groups. All of the horses really enjoyed the extra attention.

Aaleyah Belle – there’s that famous tongue doing what it does best!

I think Aaleyah Belle slimed everyone!

Bouie and Frodo got a much needed bath.

JoJo opted to lead the group on a tour. He’s such a big little helper! He even kept his flymask on!

JoJo is always the little charmer!

Mishka got lots of attention – he’s a really big guy. His name suits him well – it means “teddy bear.”

Mishka also got a bath which he truly enjoyed!

Animal Warriors is a non-profit organization – they have a Facebook page and you can visit them on their website. We truly appreciate their help and hope that they come back again!

Please remember to cast your daily vote today in the Eagle Rare Life contest. It could help to win $5K to $50K for the horses! Just click on this link and cast your vote daily – it takes less than a minute! Then, share it out and ask family and friends to vote too. Thank you!

Blind Mares Update, Donkeys Galore, & the Inimitable CaryLou!

August 20th…

Spirit was great for Dr. Mangan! She’s such a sweet mare. She can’t see anything out of her right eye. Her left eye can distinguish light from dark. Spirit was one of our rescues that was adopted out a couple of years ago. She went to live with another blind horse. Sadly, the adopter recently passed away and both mares came here.

Penny was also really good for Dr. Mangan – she is definitely blind in both eyes

Penny is a 29 year old Belgian that came to us because her owner passed away. She needs sponsors to help with her daily care. If anyone would like to help with her please let us know. Even a one time donation of any amount would help – click on the “Donate” button below. Thank you.

August 21st…

“Good morning everybody! I’m baby Whiskers but I’m growing up! Did you know that I heard the volunteers talking about changing my name to Gator? I think it’s because I like to go around and “chomp, chomp” on just about anything I can put in my mouth! But no worries – mommy Theresa says we won’t change it!”

August 22nd…

“Hi everyone! It’s me – JoJo! How do you like my smile? I’m smiling because it’s a brand-new day! We have to go now because we want to say, ‘Hi’ to Daisy and Mocha. They are going to be leaving one day soon.”

August 23rd…

Spirit gets dirtier than any horse I’ve ever known. lol

At times, Whiskers is like the Energizer bunny that doesn’t slow down – long ears and all!

It seems that Whiskers legs grow inches overnight!

It’s not unusual to find CaryLou on the porch of the storage building. He’s been coughing a bit more lately as he has a collapsing trachea. It is better though – I haven’t seen him fall over like a fainting goat in quite sometime!.

MOCHA & DAISY – THEY’RE GETTING READY!

August 17th…

Daisy and Mocha are getting ready to go to their adoptive home. Dr. Julia did a new coggins on the girls today and they also received their scheduled vaccinations. Tomorrow, they will get a hooficure. I’m going to miss these girls tremendously. Daisy’s story is nothing short of a miracle. I’ll post a short story in the next few days about Daisy and her tumors – from the day we met her to the present. You’ll be amazed!

I gave Betsy Rose a much needed bath today. She had a treatment by Dr. Julia yesterday. Betsy is getting stronger again, thankfully. She has laid down twice in the past week and was able to get up on her own and when she had her hooficure, she did not need the sling!

Betsy Rose was doing well but sustained an injury this past December when a vet who was not familiar with her, tried to sedate her while I went to the tack room to get something. At the time, he was treating Betsy for choke. Betsy almost flipped over backwards when she felt the needle and ended up tearing a muscle and re-injuring an old pelvic fracture. It was so unavoidable – all you have to do is stand behind her and put a hand on each of her hips and she’s fine for needles. I’ll never leave her alone again with anyone not familiar with her history.

Whiskers is so helpful – he loves to dust everything! And he loves to pull the flymaks out of the soaking tub and spread them all over the place. He also loves to play with hoses, ropes, and sponges. My little helper is also getting quite tall! I also want to share some very good news! Whiskers likely has an adoptive home!

I’m really happy to report that Sisco is doing well! He usually can be found hanging out with Mishka.

“Mommy Theresa are you going to post a picture of me in this long nose mask? It’s got pink on it! I’m not going to look up. That way people won’t know it’s me!”

Poor JoJo.

Little E is has a few more gray areas. This aging thing catches up to all of us. He’s still very handsome and quite opinionated.

Baby Long Ears on the Loose!

June 7th, 2016

What was the first thing JoJo did the first time he was turned out around the house when he was a baby? Watch this short video to find out – we hope it makes you smile! Just watch!

It was a long rainy and windy night with Tropical Storm Colin coming through but we got through ok. I hope everyone else did too. We really need help with hay – would anyone like to buy a bale? Even part of a bale? No amount is too small and every donation is greatly appreciated.

Each bale is approximately $18 and we need 21 bales = $378. We also need a few bales of coastal which are $7 each = $49. A combined total of $427. The horses would truly appreciate it – so would us humans.

We also need your help to win $10K for the horses. It’s free and easy – PLEASE vote today and everyday through July 31st and then share and ask family and friends to vote for us too! Sharing out on various media channels, making this go viral, is the ONLY way we can win this. http://wshe.es/65VvE5f1

Our PayPal address is bhfer@earthlink.net and there are other ways to donate that you can find on our website at www.bhfer.org. If you can help please mark your donation for “Hay”. Thank you.

JoJo and Jazzy’s Best Day!

June 4th, 2016

How do you get ADHD donkeys to stop long enough to pay attention? Just watch! Guaranteed to make you smile! Want to spread the smiles? It’s free and easy – PLEASE today and everyday through July 31st and share and ask family and friends to vote for Beauty’s Haven Farm and Equine Rescue to help win $10,000 for the horses! And ask them to share and ask their friends to share and vote too. Sharing out, making this go viral with others, is the ONLY way we can win the contest!

The stress that comes with what we do is high, constantly, due to the amount of funds it takes to do what we do – many horses (and donks and whatever else comes into our path) need help. The rewards are great seeing the animals recover and find their forever home. Or, in some cases, live out their life here – horses like our little Betsy Rose that are too frail and have special needs. It takes a Village! Please help us to help more like JoJo and Jazzy – they were both orphans when they came to us. JoJo and Jazzy asked me to share this video with you in hopes it will make you smile and hopefully vote today and everyday through July 31st.

So many people say they love what we do – and we appreciate that but we need your support in this effort. Please help us do this – for the horses. Sharing and asking others to vote daily, and share, is going to be key. Thank you – have a blessed day.
PS – we do not receive any local, state, or Federal funds. We operate totally from donations.
