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!

A Ton of Things Happening!

April 29th, 2013

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!

Lucy, Solace and Others Need Help with Vet Costs

April 9th, 2013

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?  Just 15 people donating $15 each would cover this.

Dr. Ryan will be examining Lucy today, checking out her trach, and pulling some bloodwork.  This will be about $110.  Just 11 people at $10 each will cover it.

Two horses that we had to bring back need vetting and this was not in our budget.  One needs an exam and CBC which will cost about $92. The other needs more – I’m guessing $125 with Dr. Ryan and he will also need Dr. Julia Simonson to work on him for about $125.  Any and all help with these two would be so greatly appreciated.  I’d like to get Dr. Julia out here as soon as possible.  She’s our holistic vet.

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 any of these needs you can donate via PayPal address bhfer@earthlink.net or via our website page at www.bhfer.org/donate.  Just indicate what your donation is to be used for.  Donations are tax deductible and no amount is too small.  We operate totally from donations – your support makes what we do possible.  Please share this out.  I don’t like asking for help but I have to.  Thank you!

Weekend and other update…

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!

Solace, Mini’s, and a Fundraiser

This is yesterday’s update:  Solace napping in the sun after breakfast.  He’s doing great.

He has a job he seems to really take pride in – watching over his little herd of mini mares!

Amy has come to love human attention.  Ariel is much better.  Adora is still adorable!

We got the mini mare that I was worried coyotes would get!  We were told she doesn’t know human touch and doesn’t lead.  She’s a cute girl looking ready to foal soon.  I think we will call her Twinkle!  Bob ran into a neighbor at the feet store this evening and he said he has killed 4 coyotes in the last week.  He breeds Beagles for hunting dogs.  The momma dog went out with her 2 pups one evening and the pups came back – she likely gave herself so her pups could run back home.  So sad.  I’m so glad Twinkle is here and a bit more protected from the coyotes.  Her feet were horribly long – she had a hooficure which went ok.  She has got to feel better now that her feet are done.

Will try to stick her tomorrow to see how tall she us.  I have no idea how old she is.  I do think she has had some handling though – either that or she is a fast learner willing to trust.

Dr. Porter will be out next week to do Sisco’s next chemo treatment.

This is from today: LAST DAY TO BID! Don’t forget the horse hair bracelet auction off!  This one is made from Gentleman’s hair!  It was made by Lisa Austin of Crazy4ponytails.  CURRENT BID: $180! Bid increments: $5 Auction ends: 3-15-13.  

We need to try to finish up the hay game – will need to get the hay mid next week. I think we are down to needing somewhere in the $500 range.  Remember that for every $20 donation you make towards the hay, you will get one entry to win a nice “Shoofly” made from Solace’s hair!!  We appreciate every little amount you can spare!  UPDATE: We really need to get this hay – we are doubling the chances!  If you have already donated for a chance for $20 you’ll get 2 chances.  From here on out for every $10 you’ll get 1 chance!

Please share the info on the auction and the hay game!  Thank you all for caring – have a beautiful and blessed day!

Clippings and Much Needed Baths

March 9th, 2013

Peggy Sue got clipped today – she’s SO cute!

Gentleman got some attention today too.  He’s so sweet.  His age has caught up to him and he has some not so good days but he has good days too. But when the bad outweighs the good, well, we know at some point we will leave us and the thought of that makes me very sad. He has arthritis and moves slow but he still has lots of life in his eyes and he’s happy. We appreciate each and every minute with him. He is so loved and he knows it.

Solace trying to snooze – there were lots of things going on at the rescue today. Roxie and Jenna gave him a much needed bath.

Bob went to Cedar Key this am to pick up a hood for Genesis with protective eye cup but it didn’t fit – it was too small.  The one we thought we were buying at the hospital yesterday had been too small for him too.  So today I spent hours looking frantically for something here to work and finally found a mask we had for a horse that had Uveitis flare ups.  Sue Ann was visiting from TN and was Genesis’ primary care giver most of the day.  I’m so glad she was here to stay with him to make sure he didn’t rub his face (which he had started to do this am) while I spent hours trying to come up with something to protect his eye.

I have lots more pictures but will update again tomorrow evening.  It’s been an exhausting day – don’t forget to turn your clocks forward tonight!

A little bit of Solace to help the horses…

March 8th, 2013

It’s that time again – we need to purchase 2 more tons of hay for the horses but this time we want to make it a little fun!

For every $20 you donate towards our hay purchase, you will get one entry into a drawing for a beautiful “shoofly” made from Solace’s hair!  This can be attached to your purse, a keychain, etc.  For example, if you donate $100, you get 5 chances to be the proud recipient of this beautiful keychain!

We will keep going until we meet our goal of $1130 (2 tons of hay). We have enough hay to get us through mid next week.

If anyone would like to help it would be greatly appreciated. Donations are tax deductible and no amount is too small.  Donations can be made via our website “Donate” page at www.bhfer.org/donate.
