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!

Sincerely,
Theresa

Betsy Rose and Freckles had a great night. At 2 am Kitty Cat was sitting on the corner of the sling looking up at Freckles (she’s out of reach) and the 3 of them seemed to be having a conversation. LOL!

Betsy Rose loves her meals and Freckles is always close by!

Siesta time for Betsy Rose and Freckles!

Betsy Rose is up to about 251 lbs from about 245! This is really good! It doesn’t sound like much but it is. It took her body some time to start absorbing nutrients – her gut was irritated by a lot of sand she had ingested. She is being fed a diet she can actually eat. And she was so weak I’m sure she burned needed calories easily struggling to get up when she was down. Baby steps are good.

It’s really great to see Celesta out laying in the grass!

Little E. A very wise 30+ year old Arabian gelding.

Nevada. Simply handsome!

Sisco watching over his mares today. He is doing great and no signs of tumors!

I had an interview with Ocala Magazine this morning which went well – I’m feeling good about it. It won’t be published until September so it gives us something to look forward to. Have a great night, everyone!

Below is an update that should have gone out yesterday but didn’t – I apologize. I thought I published it but it was still in my “Draft” file.

This update is a little different from my norm – captions to photos are under the photo instead of before. Some of the pictures are from my cell phone so the pictures are not great quality.

Some of our Barbaro family! Today would have been his 10th birthday. He is a true champion, always.

Starlight and Jordan! Starlight is a rescue that we took in a few months ago. She is SO loved and has never had it so good – she is adored!

Jordan and Starlight back at the barn – look at all of those ribbons! Go girls!

Kylie and Roxy exercising horses and having fun at the same time this past Saturday!

Nevada has been just a pasture pal for quite a few weeks now because he was having an issue with muscle in his back left leg. He appeared sound for the last few weeks. Kylie rode him for a little bit at just a walk but cut the ride short because he started favoring that back leg again. He would really benefit from a chiropractic/acupuncture treatment. Would anyone like to help to sponsor this? He will likely need to be adopted out for a light rider doing light work. We’ll give him some more time, and treatments, and see how he does. He’s a very sweet boy.

Ceri is slowly putting on some weight. She’s a very sweet Arabian mare.

CaryLou did ok for his first lead lesson today. He is hysterical!!

What are the babies waiting for? Their mommas are getting antsy!

Ariel has a little bag. 🙂

Strutting again!! It’s hard to take his picture when he is like Velcro!

Penny is going to feel so much better after her clipping!

What a beautiful color she is!

There was an even more darling face under all that hair!

Lucy wants to help!

Penny looks like a different donkey! Thank you Lynda for making this happen!

Check her out – yes that is a heart on her butt! She is so pretty!

Morgan is looking for a forever home.

Solace is doing great.

Lucy is still doing well. She is such a doll!

Have a great week everyone!

April 8th, 2013

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  The weather here was perfect! Here are a few pictures and updates on a few of the horses.

Sisco yesterday – his cancer site looks good.  We are still applying the cream.  Dr. Porter says at this time he does not think Sisco will need another treatment.  Sisco is so funny – like a big kid!

The other Cisco – he’s looking for a forever home.  He is a Haflinger cross.

Little CaryLou is all boy!  He keeps his momma on her toes!

Lucy is doing ok.  She’s had some tremors Friday and Saturday evenings which caused me a bit of worry.  Dr. Ryan will be out tomorrow to examine her and to pull some blood.  When she was released from the hospital she had hyperlipemia and hepatic lipidosis – her prognosis was poor and very guarded for survival.  She wasn’t eating or drinking, had body tremors, had aspiration pneumonia, and had been running fevers – the odds were against her.  Upon arrival, I immediately modified her diet and put her on Well-Gel and other supplements.  Giving her IV fluids/meds was very important so you can imagine how we felt when the vein on one side of her neck collapsed – the other had collapsed at the hospital.  After the other side collapsed here, the catheter was placed in a remaining good vein in her leg.  But then that collapsed.  It has been a roller coaster ride but we continue to keep the faith and we have hope.  Lucy’s attitude has been bright and positive which helps tremendously.  She is monitored closely – her poop, water intake, appetite, attitude, temp.  I have to laugh at her – she’s feeling better enough to now run the other way when she seems one of us coming with meds in our hands! LOL!  Lucy adores our little tank, CaryLou.  This evening Twinkle finally allowed CaryLou to visit with Lucy without her supervision. Lucy isn’t out of the woods, not by far, and her recovery is going to happen over many months.  Please continue to pray for her.

Silver Belle has made new friends and is doing really well.  She will be starting school soon.  I don’t know what Patti and Silver Belle were looking at in this picture but aren’t they beautiful?

Rayo is also doing well and is enjoying school!

Remember Lexi?  She is Lacey’s 2 year old and Dora’s full sister.  She is also doing great – a very beautiful girl.

We need a load of shavings – the pregnant mares stay in all night and Twinkle/CaryLou also stay in during the hot part of the day. A load (60 bags) of shavings is $230. Would anyone like to help?

Solace has a new snotty nose with an odor to it. He hasn’t run a fever but he’s not as interested in his meals and just seems somewhat “off”. We’d like to have Dr. Ryan examine, scope, him and do a culture to determine if he’s got something new going on. This would be about $150. Would anyone like to help him?

We have had two horses come back in the last week that need vetting – any help with them would be greatly appreciated.  Donations can be called directly into the vet’s office at 352-237-6151.  Please specify if you call how you would like your donation applied – to a specific horse or to our account in general.

We truly appreciate your continued support.  If anyone would like to help with the vet expenses, shavings, hay, etc. you can donate via PayPal address theresa or via our website page at www.bhfer.org/donate.  Donations are tax deductible and no amount is too small.  We operate totally from donations – your support makes what we do possible.  Thank you!

February 10th, 2018

A couple of the horses got a much needed bath this weekend and most got a good grooming.  The mini mares got off the hook for being clipped – there just was not enough time and they are going to be a project.

If only the weather would be this perfect all year and the horses would stay this clean…

Roxy adores Peggy Sue – and the feeling is mutual.

Solace is still doing well and he adores his food!

Nevada looks very handsome!

Sisco eating hay out the back of the truck.  He is doing well too.

Bouie and Frodo – our little fuzzy bears. They are also in the waiting line to be clipped.

Morgan LaFaye – she’s looking for a home.  She’s a very sweet girl.  I apologize that the picture is fuzzy – I took it with my phone.

Hollie is also very sweet.  She has not adjusted well to the Florida environment and is having trouble breathing – the blowing dust from the lime rock road is not good for her and we have very little shade. She will be leaving soon for her new home where she will be more comfortable.  We will miss her but her new mom will keep us updated.

Sunset also has labored breathing.  She needs to find a home that is better suited for her and the sooner the better – before warmer temperatures arrive.  Like with Hollie, the dust that blows off the lime rock road is not good for her and she needs shade.  I’m so glad she was clipped last weekend.

Some of you may remember Archer – he is doing great and his family adores him!  That’s his best friend on the right.

It was a really busy weekend here.  A lot got done – a big “thank you” to everyone that took time out of their busy schedule to come out and help.  The more hands we have to get daily chores done the better – it leaves time for other things like baths, clipping, raking, cleaning up the barn, etc.  It really takes a lot of time, money, and hands on to keep this place going.  We are very blessed to have the support we have – here and from afar.  It’s only because of other people pulling together to help us that we are successful – be it donations, prayers, sharing our info with others, etc.  Without all of you helping us we couldn’t do what we do – we sincerely thank you.

And many thanks to Marie for making and donating the necklaces that helped us to raise the funds to pay for Solace’s blood transfusion – that is a lot of worry off my mind.  And it is only part of the vet bill. We still have a jewelry auction going on to help with other vet needs. And we need to buy hay again.  Some of the horses are getting a hooficure this week – if anyone would like to sponsor a horse please let me know.

I’m calling it a day.  God bless and again, thank you all, very much for your continued support.  Have a wonderful week!

Oh – please don’t forget the current “Valentine’s Day Match Game!” If you donate towards the Match Game please indicate so with your donation.

One of our wonderful supporters has offered a very generous $200 Match Game for Valentine’s Day!  The supporter will match each dollar donated from others until we hit the $200 limit!
So this means a possibility of $400 in donations!

Please remember that all contributions are tax deductible and no donation is ever too small.

December 12th, 2012

All of the Christmas Trio horses have names now. They have all settled in well and seem to just adore humans and appreciate every little thing done for them.

Nevada (means covered in snow).

Sachet.

Noelle.

Nevada’s right front foot is the one that had the roofing nail in it. The vet said Nevada was very lucky – it was embedded at an angle and location that missed everything it could have done some nasty damage to.

Sachet’s feet were not much better but no nail. Noelle’s back right has obviously sustained some sort of damage in the past. All three were good for Fabio and they seemed very pleased to have had their hooficures.

Dr. Bess did their teeth. The worst was Nevada’s – he’s youngest (5 yrs)! He had huge hooks and ramps. Dr. Bess was amazed at how bad his teeth were at his age. Sachet is about 13 years young and Noelle is about 15. I was told by the previous owner that Noelle was a real head tosser. With, or without, a bit in her mouth it would be easy to understand possibly why. She had lose teeth! Dr. Bess pulled one and will be checking the other the next time she comes or sooner if we notice any issues.

Blackie had visitors on Saturday – he has an angel! Thank you Melissa for helping him and for his gifts – he really feels special and sends a big “Thank you!” and says he wants you to come back soon to groom him and just spend time with him.

How sweet of a face is this? VERY sweet! Hollie visits with the young ones every morning. Dora and Starbuck are in the background. Hollie is doing very well. She is moving better and she’s gained some much needed weight and muscle. We do believe she has Cushing’s disease.

I had to share this. Here is Penelope taking a roll in the sand followed by Penny taking a roll in the sand! Baby donkey see – baby donkey do!

This is Beauty wanting to know where her treat is and when Santa is coming. LOL!

Hopefully tomorrow each of the horses is going to share with me what they want for Christmas and I’ll share with all of you! It’s hard to believe another year is coming to an end soon – it seems each year goes by faster. God bless and have a great night. Hopefully I’ll be able to post again tomorrow!

PS – current bids: Christmas Decorative Runner is at $70. The necklace is at $70. The Zenyatta and Baby plushie is at $40.
