Blind Mares Update, Donkeys Galore, & the Inimitable CaryLou!

August 20th…

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.

August 21st…

“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!”

August 22nd…

“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.”

August 23rd…

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!.

A Donkey In The Mist!

July 5th…

Aaleyah Belle – she’ll never outgrow her love of sliming everyone.

July 6th…

Bouie and Frodo – happy ponies!

Classy is another special needs sanctuary horse. She has a tracheotomy and arthritis issues in her front feet. She’s a very sweet girl.

July 7th…

Sisco is recovering nicely from his surgery. He’s still on stall rest but gets hand walked some. He’s going to beat this! There is currently a Match Game going on to help him.

July 8th…

A donkey in the mist! Whiskers is growing little bits each day. I’m sure he wishes he had another donkey to play with but JoJo and Jazzy are not nice to him.

July 9th…

Remember when JoJo got into the dishwasher detergent and had an early morning suds party all by himself? Growing up with JoJo has been a great experience – gotta love him! He was squeaky clean that day!

Lucy and Sawyer – the odd couple. 🙂

July 10th…

This morning on Frosty’s Knoll. It was beautiful!

Barb took Sisco out for some hand grazing today. We still need help with his vet needs. The GoFundMe currently includes a Match Game! Please consider helping – no amount is too small.

July 11th…

So thankful for the shade trees! Mishka loves standing under it – there is a mister at the top.

The gap is continues to widen between 1st and 2nd place in the #MakeASplash contest. Unfortunately, you have to vote via Facebook. Your vote, once every 24 hours through July 31st is so greatly needed! And what will help even more is if you share amongst family and friends and ask them to vote and share as well.

We CAN do this with your help! We have never been fortunate enough to win anything close to $10,000. Although it is a constant and exhausting struggle trying to raise money and take care of the horses all day long, it is truly worth every moment, knowing that we are making a difference in the life of each and every equine that enters through our gates. We are Beauty’s Haven Farm and Equine Rescue, a place where ‘Life begins, again!’

Please remember to vote daily to help the horses of Beauty’s Haven win $10,ooo!

Wishing everyone a wonderful day and thank you all, for your generosity, love and support.

Little Things – Can You Believe It?

June 18th, 2016

Not even a week old and Whiskers wants his own cell phone!

June 19th…

June 21st…
Remember when Pal Sal from Texas told Foxy all about cutting horses? The next thing we knew, Foxy was trying out her moves! Watching this short video will totally make you smile! We knew then that Foxy would be good at anything she put her mind to!

Sometimes little things are really huge! I got on the Internet yesterday and look what popped up!?

“Injured Woman Spends Her Second Chance at Life Rehabilitating Horses” by Rebecca Landman.

I had no idea it was being written/published! The stories at littlethings.com are so uplifting – I was truly amazed to find us there! Please share with your family and friends! Let’s raise awareness about horse rescue and the current “Life is Short – Make a Splash” contest we are in 2nd place for to try to win $10K for the horses! We just need your daily vote through July 31st and for you to share out daily – it’s free and easy!

A Baby Longears Doing The Cricket Dance?

June 17th, 2016

Whiskers got lots of attention today from Auntie Bri …..

…….and Auntie Elizabeth . He’s so sweet.

Well, it appears that my selfie skills still need improving!

June 18th…

“Yummy! I love my milk!”

So now you know how he got his name. 🙂

A “Cricket Dance” natural! Baby Whiskers had a great night and was full of himself this morning! There must be something in his milk that we don’t know about!

We appreciate Kylie staying with him last night. We will be on babysitting duty for the next few nights – at least until he’s comfy. I hope his momma is relieved to see how well he is adjusting. Please watch the short video which was taken this morning of Baby Whiskers doing the ‘Cricket Dance” and for those of you who don’t know what a “Cricket Dance” is, well, just watch!

Please remember to vote as we are slowly closing the gap between first and second place! One vote every 24 hours through July 31st may enable us to win this contest! And don’t forget to share amongst family and friends as well. Winning $10K for the horses would help so much. We have never been fortunate enough to win anything close to this amount. Even though it is a constant and exhausting struggle trying to raise money and take care of the horses all day long, it is truly worth every moment, knowing that we are making a difference in the life of each and every equine that enters through our gates. We are Beauty’s Haven Farm and Equine Rescue, a place where ‘Life begins, again!’

Since Bob had his heart attack, things have been a bit more challenging, but thankfully, he’s slowly getting better. However, more of my time is spent working outside which leaves very little opportunity to be at the computer or in the office to plan fundraising activities and elicit donations which have gone down dramatically. We are a small grassroots organization which consists of Bob and I who work 24/7/365, plus a few very special volunteers. We normally have volunteer help approximately six hours a day, a few days a week. On some days, however, we have no help at all. So please believe me when I say, every vote helps!

Thank you for your support!
Theresa
