Can we be your Valentine?

Guess what everybody? A special day called Valentine’s Day is coming! It’s is a day when humans show appreciation for loved ones, family, and friends by giving them Valentine’s Day cards. Some also give candy, flowers, and other gifts but it would be okay to give things like treats and hay too!

It would make all of our herd really happy if each one of us were someone’s Valentine. Can we be yours? You could choose any one (or more) of us! Just send an email to mommy Theresa stating which horse, donkey, dog or kitty cat you would like to have as your valentine and she will place a heart next to our name(s).

Valentine’s Day kind of crept up on us this year – it’s only days away so we didn’t ask for cards. But, if you could help by sending a suggested donation of $5 per Valentine (or any amount) we’d really appreciate it! Donations can be sent by clicking on the ‘Donate’ button below. If you can’t donate at this time, it’s really okay but we still want each and every one of you to be our Valentine because you’re all very special to us!

Thank you!

Love,

Valentine’s Day Strive for Five

Hi Everyone!

We ‘kids’ here at Beauty’s Haven are eagerly awaiting Valentine’s Day and hope that each of our ‘Aunties’ and ‘Uncles’ will send us a ‘Virtual Valentine!’

All you have to do is forward a $5 donation and indicate the name of the equine or baby goat of your choice who will be the recipient of your valentine. Of course, you may send a valentine to more than one member of our beloved herd and if you would like to forward a donation greater than $5, that would be truly fantastic as well. Auntie Jeanne will be posting an updated list several times a day indicating the names of the ‘Velvet Nosers’ who have received a valentine(s).

If you would like to ‘Be Our Valentine,’ you may forward your donation by CLICKING HERE. Please make certain that you indicate the name of the equine or baby goat who will be the recipient of your valentine.

Thank you everyone!

Love,
Aaleyah Belle, Alexia, Beauty, Bouie, CaryLou, Chloe, Dasher, Dancer, Derek, Ebony, Elyza Rose, Emma, Frodo, Jazzy, Joie, JoJo, Kaliko, Lily, Little E, Lucy, Luiji, Magic, Mishka, Mo, Nadia, Oasis, Peaches, Peggy Sue, Penny, Rosie, Ruby, Sophie, Starbuck, Venus, Warrior and Zahara

Our Little Pony – Valentine

Last night I posted about Valentine on Facebook – she’s in Equus Magazine this month (picture at Myth #7)!  Valentine was a little pony that came to us in February 2009 with no name from another county.  Valentine seemed to be an appropriate name for this little cutie.  Authorities told us that her owner had recently died in a car accident while trying to get to his herd of three horses to check on them after a terrible storm.  Upon his death, his wife became very angry that she lost her husband because of his horses.  She made one trip to see the horses but never returned to see or care for them again – they were abandoned.  Two of the horses, which were healthy, were picked up by someone else. However, the third, a pony, was left behind because she appeared to be colicing. The officer that worked the case said she’d almost dug her own grave over the course of 3 days.  She also had evidence of blunt force trauma to her back and sacrum area.
Valentine

Upon arrival, Valentine was examined by our vet, Dr. Ryan Meeks, and it was apparent that she didn’t know where her backend was.  He continued to treat her as a colic case – she still wasn’t passing poop.  Dr. Meeks also did x-rays on her neck.  Valentine got acupuncture and chiropractic treatments by Dr. Hami Das.  While she improved in her backend coordination, her ability to eliminate on her own didn’t improve.  This is Dr. Meeks and Dr. Das discussing their findings and Val’s condition.
Valentine

It was believed that Val had sustained nerve damage and may never be able to pass her own poop.  While for some horses that may be a death sentence – Val wasn’t ready to give up.  With each passing day, her eyes got brighter.  We couldn’t afford to pay a vet to come and clean her out each day so I learned how to do it.  It wasn’t hard and she was extremely cooperative.  When she needed this done (at least twice a day, sometimes more) she would just stand, without even a halter, and tolerate the “cleansing” which brought relief.  She was a happy little pony.  I would often find her waiting for me at the gate to the barn in the morning – ready and willing to be cleaned out so she could enjoy her breakfast and go on about her day.
Valentine

Valentine had over two good years with us but started laying down more often in the fall of 2011.  One morning in late December, instead of greeting me at the gate, I found her down at the gate.  She clearly said it was time.  We gave our little pony with the deepest and most beautiful dark eyes a very pampered few hours before being helped to Rainbow Bridge by Dr. Meeks.  Now, our Valentine runs with the heavenly herd – pain free and happy.  She is with her best friend, Captain.

This morning I opened email and found this beautiful artwork by Greg Ambrose. Mixed bittersweet tears came. This little pony was so very much loved and I miss her. Thank you Greg.

Valentine – our little pony…
