Little E has been quite the gentleman – he’s been letting Emma borrow his blanket for this cold spell. She’s still having issues in her neck but she is a happy little girl.
Magic absolutely loves his blue flymasks!
Senior citizen Sawyer and little Lucy. The odd couple.

JoJo and Jazzy patiently waiting at the bottom of the stairs on this cold morning, to wish everyone a “Happy St. Patrick’s Day!”

Aaleyah Belle and her silly tongue. There’s nothing that can compare to being slimed by her!
The horses are loving the cool temperatures. We all are!
October 25th…
“Come on JoJo – let’s play kick the can! Um, I mean kick the bucket!”
October 26th…
Prayers please. Aaleyah Belle is colicing.
October 27th…
I’m happy to report that Aaleyah Belle is feeling much better after her gas colic yesterday! Chloe and Aaleyah were both happy to go back down to their paddock this morning. Thank you all for your good thoughts and prayers yesterday.

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.
October 11th…
“JoJo – who’s that?? He sort of looks like you and me! Come on, let’s go introduce ourselves and welcome him to the rescue!”
“Guess what, Jazzy – I think it’s a Mini Me! Whatcha think? I know there’s only one me, but does he look like me?”
“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!
JoJo’s Mini Me is looking forward to having his own human family soon. He wants a home before the holidays, which will be here before we know it!
We are announcing a wonderful raffle to assist this sweet boy in finding his forever home before the holidays. JoJo’s ‘Mini Me’ is a handmade, crocheted mini donkey with a cute little pink nose and adorable daisy ‘spots.’ He is approximately 3.2 (14″) hands high.

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?!
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!
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!

 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.

 “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!”

 “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.”

 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!.
