Then’s and Now’s AND JoJo in the House?

February 1st, 2013

“Mommy Theresa I know you’re in there! I just want to come in and see you for a little while. We all miss Princess and I know you’re sad but if I can come in I’ll cheer you up some!”

Well, JoJo did come in and cheered us up. He looked for the Christmas tree and couldn’t understand why it couldn’t live in the house. He kept staring at where it was – his brain was certainly trying to understand.

We have so much to be thankful for – we need to cherish each and every minute. Take time to make memories. Someday, that’s all you will have of those that you love.

February 2nd

Check out Bouie’s beard.

I don’t know who was more fascinated by size – Mishka or the mini’s next door!

February 3rd

Happy Tuesday morning! That’s Peaches munching from one of our slow hay feeder nets. Wonder what Ebony is thinking? Little Lily is so darned cute.

Amber and Baby Ray playing – just beautiful!

Little E is our Senior resident now. Another noble Arabian that is adored by all of us. We had awesome visitors today and I have quite a few pics to post but will have to get caught up tomorrow afternoon.

February 4th

Jessie spent the day here yesterday – Baby Ray enjoyed seeing her again (so did we)! We look forward to her visit at this time each year when she and her husband, Ron, come down from a northern state for a few days.

Jessie has known Baby Ray since he came to us as an orphan baby in August 2009. We brought him home in our mini-van. Baby Ray had cataracts and couldn’t see. Once he grew healthy, we took him to UF where they removed the cataracts. He is visually impaired but he can see.

Aaleyah Belle also enjoyed seeing Jessie again.

We named Aaleyah after Eight Belles. We picked her up only a few hours after she was born – it was the day that Eight Belles died. Aaleyah and her mom, Currently Sue (aka Momma Sue), were going to be shot because Aaleyah was born with a wry nose. Momma Sue was skin on bones – it’s amazing that they survived.

Aaleyah Belle before and after surgery.

Yesterday, Serenity got to personally thank someone that has helped her since the day she arrived. It’s always nice when humans come to meet the horses they help. Thank you Phil!

Serenity arrived at about this time last year – we intercepted her just before she was going to be shot by the local rendering company. She’s a beautiful girl – inside and out.

Handsome (Saddlebred) is still looking for a forever home. Mishka (Percheron) is still in rehab. He’s gained weight but still needs quite a bit more muscling up. Some horses recover quicker than others from EPSM – it could take a few months. Proper diet is key.

Matilda – she’s a very loving long ears. And yes, she is still huge.

Remember Cisco, Tia, and Tess? Cisco came to us in September 2012 – he was 20+ years young. He had been removed from a bad situation – I’ll just say that he came to us known as the “Meth Pony”. Tia and Tess came to us in the Spring of 2013 – Tess was about 3 months old. All three were adopted together by a wonderful couple that volunteered at the time. Cisco takes care of his two girls. Tia, Tess, and Cisco are loved by their humans, very much.

Ginger is doing well with her adoptive family – she has a new BFF.

Daisy doesn’t realize she’s different – she’s full of love and life. She has a large tumor (sarcoid) under her right eye and another over her left eye. Dr.’s Mangan and Porter started her treatments (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)) about …3 weeks ago when she got her first injections. She is also getting a daily supplement and we apply a topical cream to the tumors. Daisy was examined again last Friday and there have been positive changes at both eyes! She is scheduled to receive her 2nd injections this coming Friday. Daisy is only 5 years old and deserves a chance – we hope others will help us give her that chance. If anyone would like to help this darling little long ears with her needed treatments our PayPal address is bhfer@earthlink.net (please note it’s for Daisy). No amount is too small and all donations are tax deductible.

Please keep Daisy in your prayers. Thank you!

Athena is another beautiful mare. She is having lameness issues (its not in her feet) and really needs to be examined but she needs sponsors. She currently does not have enough sponsors to even cover her monthly routine care costs. Would anyone like to help Athena with a one time or monthly donation?

Athena the day I met her.

I’ve put this off but need to ask – would anyone like to help with Princess’ emergency vet, hospital, and burial expenses? We are several hundred dollars short. If you would like to help, our PayPal address is bhfer@earthlink.net – please mark it for “Princess”. Other ways to donate can be found on our website at www.bhfer.org. No amount is too small and all donations are tax deductible. While we wish she were still here with us, we are very thankful for the years we had with her. This was Princess a few years ago. She’s always been a beautiful girl.

BH November 19th – 22nd, 2014 Update

November 19th, 2012

Princess has been having some issues so she had an acupuncture treatment today by Dr. Julia Simonson. Princess, a 26 yrs young Arabian, has had Equine Metabolic Syndrome for a few years and may have also developed Cushings Disease – several tests were done on her today. Princess was a Top Ten Working Cow horse in Canada in her younger years! Since she has been with us, she’s had 3 adoptive homes lined up. Each time, just before leaving, something would happen – an eye injury, laminitis, another eye injury – so we decided that Beauty’s Haven will be her forever home.

Princess needs help with her vetting and monthly supplements. Would anyone like to help her? Donations can be made via PayPal to bhfer or directly to Dr. Julia at PayPal jksdvm (please note it for Princess). Dr. Julia’s website, for those of you that don’t know her, is http://juliasimonsondvm.com. Donations can also be made through our “Donate” page on our website at www.bhfer.org. No amount is too small. Her bill for today was $297. This grand mare needs some sponsors.

This volunteer holding Princess while Dr. Julia does acupuncture on her is Audrey Rice.

I came across a photo of Princess with Gentleman this evening – I sure do miss him!

Attagirl came to us in August, a bit underweight and we were told that her coffin bone had penetrated the sole of her front foot. Her feet were a wreck. She had horrible thrush – the corium was exposed and it was a bloody mess. This issue has gotten better. Dr. Ryan Meeks did x-rays just to be sure there were no other issues. She also had a sarcoid on her ear that was successfully treated. Her immune system was just weak and stressed. But she put on weight and was doing well. Attagirl was examined today by Dr. Julia. Attagirl has had diarrhea off and on – just when we think everything is good, it’s not. More lab work was done today. Attagirl also needs sponsors to help her with vetting and supplements. Would anyone like to help her? Donations can be made by clicking on the links posted above.

Peaches napping in the sun and out of the wind this morning. She is going to need additional tests done to determine why she is intermittently lame in her front right foot.

For those of you who remember Domino, here’s a recent picture of her! Domino came to us only hours old in May 2012. She had been rejected by her mom. Yes, we spoiled her rotten – she’s another donkey that thinks she’s 1/2 human. LOL! She’s happy and doing well. Thank you Tania for giving Domino a great home and job that she enjoys!

Domino as a baby.

She loved her bottle!

November 20th

Good freezing morning from Beauty’s Haven!

Donovan’s a happy go lucky guy – just look at that adorable face!

These two are absolutely adorable! Yes, even from their backside. LOL!

Remember Gracie and Harvey? They are looking great and their adoptive mom adores them!

November 22nd

What is it about the office that so many want to come up and visit? Baby gate stays closed now. lol

Mishka is filling out and muscling up!

Sincerely,

Theresa

Sisco’s Mask, Kiana and Betsy Rose, Mollie, Princess, Parties and Rainbows!

June 8th – 9th, 2014

Sue Sefscik visiting with Kiana and Betsy Rose. She can tell you – the girls are not spoiled at all.  Nope.

image0011

Sisco is a giraffe when he wants to be!

image003

Here he is in his mask – I like this kind – it lets air get to the eye.

image0051

I’m happy to report that Mollie is doing fantastic with her new family! We’ll let Joan Schaffer, her adoptive mom, keep us updated on her progress.  Thank you Joan for giving Mollie a human family of her own! Mollie was almost at Rainbow Bridge when we picked her up last November.  She’s an Arabian that has a heart of gold and is a determined little filly – she reminds me very much of Beauty, the namesake of Beauty’s Haven, when she came into my life at about the same age as Mollie.

image007

And now a message from Betsy Rose:

“GUESS WHAT?  Mommy Theresa says there is going to be a virtual birthday party on Facebook for me on Saturday!  I came to Beauty’s Haven on June 14th last year in very poor health – a lot of people never thought I’d live to see my 24th birthday but I believed I could do it! The humans here supported me and helped me for many months before I could live on my own again but they did it because they loved me and they believed in me too!

Mommy Theresa said some of you have asked what I need or want for my birthday. Well, my wish list is short – if anyone wants to send me a present, please consider sending a card with a donation instead so that I can share with my horsey friends here. Some of my friends have no sponsors at all – they all deserve something and I want my day to be their day too!  I’d LOVE to fill up my stall wall with cards!  And Kiana – she doesn’t know what a birthday is – she’ll love it too! You know what the first thing is we all taught Kiana?  TO BELIEVE!  Not just in herself, and that she can overcome her obstacles, but to believe in others that love her too and that the Beauty’s Haven “Village” will never abandon her.  Thank you all!

Oh – one more thing!  I’m going to make a BIG announcement at my virtual birthday party on June 14th on Facebook so please make sure to participate, ok?  I’ll give you a hint – carrots!”

~ Love, Betsy Rose

image009

An Arabian at the end of a rainbow! How lovely!

image010

Kiana was moving a little faster today. Slowly, but surely, she is improving!

image011

Since we have had a number of medical emergencies within the past few months, we have started a new Youcaring fundraiser to assist with the veterinary bills.http://www.youcaring.com/nonprofits/medical-emergencies-/188403

image012

Have a great night everyone – I’ve got physical therapy in the am so I’ll be offline for much of the day.

Theresa

Aaleyah Belle, Cookie, Oscar and Many More!

February 27th, 2014

This is what is called a “1/2 pasture bale” of hay. We’ve bought many and they have ranged from about 592 lbs up to 915 lbs. They are great – the horses can’t pig out on them. We do have to check for metal rings that hold them together a couple of times a day.

It’s amazing how they share their feed. No arguing at all. They finish one tub then go to the next. This is Serenity, Bryce, and Eliza.

Most people know about Aaleyah Belle and her tongue. She’s loved very much but she’s still a brat! She was born with a wry nose.

Cookie needs prayers. I knew the area would look worse for a bit after the treatment. I just worry.

Princess is looking much better. She does have something potentially going on in her left eye (it was injured a few years ago) and Dr. Ryan will be out tomorrow to check her out. This is Princess following Roxy for lunch.

Oscar was trying to help Paul fill out a form. LOL Oscar has had a growth spurt! I watched him RUN today. It was awesome.

No words needed…

I miss you Solace.

Princess, Solace, Amy, Ariel Need Vet Help

May 20th, 2013

We hope everyone is had a great weekend. I hate asking for more help but it’s only because of help from others that we are able to do what we do.

The vet is coming out today and we need help with:

– examine/ultrasound Amy and Ariel.

– examine Solace.  He seems to feel ok but there is an odor coming from his nose which may indicate infection.  The vet said he man need x-rays.

– Princess needs both front feet x-rayed.

– We need to resupply some medications (Banamine, SMZ’s, etc.)

– We will need funds to have Stetson gelded when he is ready. Vet will be checking him again today. He’s doing well.

– We need a lot of flymasks in sizes mini, horse and Arabian. Several of the ones we have are just plain worn out and between the flies, lime rock road dust, no-see-um’s and blowing sand we use a lot. We try to have 2 on hand for most horses – one to wear while the other gets cleaned.

– Flyspray & flytraps

– We’re going to need hay by the end of the week.

Donations can be made via PayPal to Theresa or via various ways through our “Donate” page at www.bhfer.org/donate.  The vet’s office can be called directly at 352-237-6151.

I’ll try to post pictures with an update from the weekend and today later this afternoon. It’s already very busy here but I had to take a minute to reach out for help.  Thank you all – have a blessed day!

Theresa

Valentine’s Day Birthday’s – Nicky and Princess

February 14th, 2013

I wanted to get this prepared and sent out yesterday but I just couldn’t concentrate – I had to walk away and try again today.  Valentine’s Day is always bittersweet.  

On February 14th, 1980 an Arabian was born – his registered name was RC ElDinero.  We called him Nick or Nicky.  He found his way to us on June 1st, 2007.  How he found his way to us was nothing short of a miracle.  He had been starved, he was diabetic and laminitic, he had Cushings Disease, and more – the odds were against him.  Nick’s body condition was about the same as Solace when he first arrive – not quite a 0.5 on the Henneke scale.  You can’t go much lower than that without meeting death.  We had one of the best care giver’s team you could want, including Dr. Eleanor Kellon, VMD. Nicky’s story is a sad one but he brought so much good and love into our life – he had a huge heart that loved life but what humans had done, or not done, for him proved to be too much for his weak body.  He was only with us for 6 weeks.  But you can bet that in that 6 weeks he knew love from near and far.  

About 3 weeks after Nicky got here, a benefit show was held here at the rescue.  At the spur of the moment during a break in the show, something came over me to take Nick to the arena and let him feel the presence of the people around him.  Once in the arena he stood up proud and tall – he looked around him and let out a forceful but weak whinny.  I was so proud of him – tears ran down my face.  We slowly walked back to the barn and he laid down – he was exhausted but he was a proud and dignified Arabian Prince and he felt it – that meant so much to me.  This was Nicky the day he caught the attention of one of our volunteers that just happened upon the farm where he was living at the end of a road.  He was being boarded.  He had Cushing’s and the owner, who lived a couple of hours away, said she assumed he was getting his needed medication even though she hadn’t been buying it.  She hadn’t seen him in awhile but assumed he was fine.  Well, I don’t believe it.  He didn’t get in such bad condition overnight.  Our time with him will never be forgotten and we will love him, always.  

Nicky

When Solace arrived on December 16th, 2012 thoughts of Nicky came flooding back. Solace was about the same age that Nick was when he came to us.  Solace’s body condition score was about the same.  Looking at the photos below of Nick on the left and Solace on the right – well, I think it will help you to understand why I had been flooded with memories.  The 6 week mark of when we lost Nicky hung in the back of my mind but, thankfully, Solace has passed that mark.  

 

Nicky on the left – Solace on the right

Solace is quite remarkable and is living proof that miracles do happen.  I believe.

Princess Birthday Surprise

On February 14th, 1988 another beautiful Arabian was born – her name was RL Princes Regala.  The picture on the left was taken the day she arrived at the rescue – September 4th, 2008.  Her human was going off to college but wanted to make sure Princess would be forever taken care of.  Princess was almost adopted on 3 different occasions but each time, as the application was being processed, something happened to her.  The 1st time she had a bout of laminitis.  The 2nd time she had an eye injury.  And the 3rd time another bout of laminitis.  At that point, we determined maybe she just didn’t want to leave.  She is now a sanctuary horse that is loved by many.  She is a very sweet mare.  Yesterday her previous owners drove a long way to wish her a happy birthday!  Unfortunately, the weather was bad but they enjoyed being together again and I enjoyed seeing the reunion.

This was taken of Gentleman and Princess today – they are BFF.  Princess had just had a hooficure and was looking very happy – I’m sure she enjoyed her visitors yesterday.

We have been blessed to have many proud Arabian horses in our herd.  

Have a good night everyone.  We’ll have another busy weekend ahead here at the rescue.  I worked at the barn much of the day until late evening.  It felt good, but I’m beat.

Theresa

BH 11/24/12 Update – lots of photos

November 24th, 2012…

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It was beautiful here. But the nice day closed with temperatures down into the high 30’s yesterday morning. The babies and seniors were blanketed and comfortable. We’ll have to break out a few more blankets though – looks like it’s going down to freezing tonight. Brrrr!!

There’s been so much going on – it’s always busy. I wanted to make time tonight to update on some things. Mostly good things. Morning Star was adopted by his foster family which is simply awesome! I was so happy when Chris told me they wanted to adopt him! Morning Star is a very talented boy and there is never a dull moment with him! Jenna and her dad, Chris, come to help out a couple of days each month and boy it sure helps to have many hands!

Just like her momma, Dora has a special scratching spot.

So does Starbuck.

Cisco wrapped up nice and warm. He didn’t mind that the blanket is pink. He’s just that way – happy go lucky. He’s looking for a forever home.

Beauty and the boys – Genesis and Cisco. And Beauty standing for me to trace her foot so I could put some pads into her slippers – she was sore in the front. She seems to be better today.

Dr. Cogswell working chiropractic on Peaches a couple of weeks ago. And then she worked on Beauty. Dr. Cogswell comes through the Ocala area once a month and does a great job! Dr. Ryan recommended her and I do too! Her website is www.cogswellvet.com.

Lace is ready for a forever home. She’s a sweet girl. Rides nicely but I’ve only ridden her at a walk/trot.

Penny… determined to find a few crumbs. She’s become quite independent and is still as cute as she could possibly be!

Baby Girl – still gorgeous! She munched on some hay until it was her turn for a hooficure. She loves scratches!

And this is Jenny being silly with Penelope on Thanksgiving!

Princess – still a pretty girl. This is Laura doing a hooficure and Kim holding which we appreciate very much!

How the farm looks from up on Cisco and Genesis. Me on Cisco and Kylie on Genesis – it is seldom we get these little pleasures.

Cookie getting a little extra attention from a volunteer – one of the UF students.

Little Rambo now lives with a mini donkey (named Casper) that wasn’t treated very well before going to his current home. Rambo is helping Casper to learn that all humans are not bad. This is Casper getting his first hooficure since he’s been at his new home. Rambo is outside watching. Little Casper did well.

I took some time to take a short ride on Genesis on Thanksgiving Day. And I was actually able to talk Bob into going for a short walk around the paddock! I visited with all of the horses on Thanksgiving and they all got carrots. Both human kids were home and it was just a beautiful day!

Spirit is doing well. She is adjusting to her new surroundings and has made new friends! Her new human mom is doing a great job with her!

Some more good news – Rosita will be leaving for her new home late next week! Some other news – we have been asked to help a very thin Racking horse mare that needs a safe place to land. We would like to make her our holiday save. Even with somewhat of a winter coat you can see how thin she is. Even thin, she is hooked up and driving. We need help with sponsors – she needs about $500 her first month and then about $300 each month after for at least 6 months. Would anyone like to help her? If anyone can help us to help the mare please email me. Donations are tax deductible and no amount is too small. Please help us to give her a new start in life – I know she would appreciate a full tummy and warm blanket for the holiday season.

We hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. Don’t forget about our fundraiser – the beautiful drawing of Ambrosia – current bid is $150. God bless and thank you for your continued support! And again, please help us to help this mare.

BHFER Update 05/01/12

May 1st, 2012…

First I want to share some pictures of others here at the rescue.

Gentleman chasing Peaches. It’s the first time I’ve seen him move out this fast in months! Peaches was just moved to this paddock – she swapped paddocks with Nikole.

Gentleman looks like a brindle color since he got clipped – and yes, that is a heart on his butt! He is much more comfortable since he was clipped.

Lady Jane is doing very well. She is a social butterfly and a very sweet mare. She carries herself very proudly.

Legacy – as handsome as ever. Princess is behind him.

Classy is doing well. Her front feet have been holding up good.

And Peggy Sue – she is such a doll! She absolutely adores attention and will wrap herself around you for hugs! The stifle surgery definitely helped.

Magic taking a rest.

And Lacey – she is still rolling and waiting for her baby to decide to join the outside world.

Today was a pretty good one for MoonShadow. We have learned that his registered name is “Salty Verdict.” I think the GastroGard is helping. He did better through last night and actually drank about 2 gallons of water which made me very happy. And he was hungry this am. His body temp stayed within normal range today.

This is truly a tragic case but hopefully it will have a good ending – or new start – depending on how you look at it. This is MoonShadow – the picture on the left taken February 7th just a couple of days before he went to the people we got him from. In just a matter of 2 ½ months this is what happened to him – see picture on the right.

I did some backtracking with information I did have on him and had some luck. One phone call actually led to a couple of families from his past. Both families came today to visit with him and were very upset to see him in this condition. It’s heartbreaking too see a horse in this condition – especially a horse that you loved and thought was going to a good home. I’m glad he was feeling somewhat better today – he was a tiny bit more active and alert.

This family owned him for many years after he retired from the track after his first and only race. They brought him gifts today and spent some time with him.

I don’t know if MoonShadow is out of the woods yet. I think I can more comfortably answer that question by the end of the week. I know that today he was a little vocal and his eyes were brighter – he held his head up a little higher. I know it sounds silly but his eyes actually spoke to me and it was comforting.

Please continue to keep MoonShadow in your prayers. Once he is feeling better we need to have his left stifle x-rayed and he’ll need chiropractic/acupuncture. He needs his teeth done and his feet worked on a bit more. God bless – have a wonderful day tomorrow! Thank you all for your continued support!

Rescue Happenings – It’s Quite Busy!

February 2nd, 2012

I’ve been guilty of not posting about horses here at the rescue and I apologize.  The case of 38 abandoned Paso Fino’s is taking a lot of time.  We have many wonderful people helping and more willing to help and I appreciate all of you.  While things may not appear to be moving fast – we are doing the best we can as fast as we can.  These are horses that haven’t been handled in 2+ years including 14 studs.  To give you an idea of how uncomfortable these mares were with people – the first day I was onsite 3 people walked into one of the paddocks where about a dozen mares live as a herd.  The mares ran away and jumped a fence – taking down the top board.  The last thing we want is for human or horse to be injured.  Working with situations like this requires a lot of patience and we don’t want any of the horses having a bad experience.  They appear, with each passing day, to be a little more comfortable with humans.  Some are being hand walked and are learning to trust.  Over the next couple of days coggins will be pulled on some, if not all, of the studs, and some feet will be trimmed.  We’ll be getting mares used to a round pen.

We need to find homes for all of these horses as soon as possible but if we can place the studs we could make use of the barn for the mares which would help.  Studs will be gelded with the exception of one that is 26 years old and mares are not to be bred.  We are busy in the office for this effort as well – we pray that some of our grant applications will be approved.  If anyone would like to offer a home to any of these horses an application can be downloaded from our website.  Donations are needed to help with their care – all donations are tax deductible and no amount it too small. We are making another hay run on Saturday morning.  If anyone would like to help with this expense you can call a credit in to Larson’s at 352-867-8333 or to Quality Hay at 352-529-0888.

Now, for an updates on others…

Buttercup has been in “school” for a couple of weeks.  While she is coming along she has shown herself (that’s our Buttercup!) but she is learning to be more confident and to overcome separation anxiety.  Gary is doing a great job with her and we hope to find Buttercup a home soon where her new human can continue her training.

Baby Ray is doing well and is very happy at his foster home.  He’s learning new things and seems very content.  Baby Ray is looking for his forever home.

Montana is doing great – he’s now looking for a forever home. He’s quite the character and makes us laugh.  Katie got up on him a few days ago – I think he’s likely been a cow horse in his younger days.  Doesn’t like direct reining – gave Katie a buck or two at first.  Neck reins great and doesn’t need or want any leg.

Montana

Harley, the Belgian that was surrendered to us 3 weeks ago, with untreated eye cancer, is doing great.  His surgery went well and the eye looks great – we have an application for his adoption and a very special family is coming to meet him this weekend!

Jessie and Ron visited today and the weather was perfect! All of the horses (and us humans) enjoyed seeing them again.  I think little Indy was smiling – hoping to get more carrots but Jessie split them evenly but Baby Girl and Morning Star were doing their own face making. Morning Star is absolutely gorgeous and is looking for a forever home. Baby Girl has some dapples!

Morning Star loves his ball and has made up many games to play with it.  And he’s learned how to deflate it – I think he finally killed it this week though!

Aaleyah Belle made sure she hogged the carrots.  Jessie got slimed – a few times!

Dr. Bess (Tune-Ups Equine Dentistry) was here this week to do some dental work.

Amadeus, Silver Belle, and Legacy.  Silver Belle and Legacy are really nice horses and are looking for their forever homes.  Amadeus – we have some plans for him with one of our UF volunteers!

Ghost is doing well. It’s like he’s lived here all of his life.

Kami got a bath today – she’s still our little spit fire!  I don’t know who was more wet – Kami or Marie and Katherine!

These horses are not at the rescue but we are working with AC to place.  Mustang with ear tips that were frozen off when she was out west – est. 13 yrs old.  Six year old Appaloosa and a 9 year old QH. I’m told all are ridden by experienced children.

And these two are urgent – they are at AC and their time is very limited.  If we can’t find homes for them they will be euthanized.  Rogue is a Mustang that appears to have not been handled much, if at all.  He’s not mean – has not offered to kick or do anything of the sort – he just departs the area where a human may be approaching and will hide behind Bucky.  Rogue is a beautiful mover and just needs to learn to trust.  He has very kind eyes and demonstrates that he wants to interact with humans – it will just take some time and patience.  Bucky, well, he’s a sweetheart.

Here are some items we are in need of:

· Micro-Tek Spray and Shampoo
· Breakaway halters – Arabian/Cob size
· Breakaway halters – Average horse size.
· Breakaway halters – miniature horse size.
· Long AND short nose Cashel flymasks in sizes Arab and Horse.
· Three play balls (size large)
· Miniature lightweight blanket for Haley – I’ll have to check her size tomorrow.

Please don’t forget that we’ve got a new Daily Blog at http://bhfer.wordpress.com/.  I won’t be able to post updates Daily but I’ll do my best to get at least 3 out a week.  Previous months and years are still on the website.  We hope to have our “Available Horses” page updated soon – we have many that are not on the website that ready for forever homes.

We do hope everyone is having a great week.  I don’t know where time is going but it’s going by too fast!  At least the weather has been good to us and I wish it would stay like this all year around.  God bless – take care and I’ll update again as soon as I can.

Sincerely,
Theresa
