Missy's Hope Equine Rescue Resource

Rescues In Need

Hey Everyone, 

     I just wanted to pass some info on.  Rob (my husband) and I are moving in a few weeks to the IL side of St. Louis.  We are going to be needing to place some horses as they cannot all come with us.  We also have a number of other items that we are selling so that we do not have to move them with us.  On Aug 9th, we are having a moving sale out at our place to sell a number of items. 

Here is a list of the horses that we need to sell: 

Sweet Pea - yearling 1/2 arab, 1/2 mustang pinto mare.  She is halter broke, leads, ties, stands for farrier, utd on worming, farrier, vacs.  Super sweet, should mature to around 14.2- 15hh.  Price is $350 obo 

Miracle - 3 year old solid bay arab mare.   She is around 14.2hh.  She is halter broke, leads, ties, loads.  Utd on worming, farrier, vacs.  She has been saddled and had a rider on her, but is not well broke, only started.  $400 obo 

Jasper - 3 year old pinto colt.  He is around 13hh is sorrel and white.  He leads, loads, stands for farrier.  Utd on worming, farrier, vacs.  He would make a great kids horse as he shouldn't get very big.  $300 obo 

Lightning - 6 year old sorrel gelding.   He is about 12hh.  He is halter broke, but needs work.  He would make a great cart pony with his floating trot.  Free to a home with horse savvy that will care for him and work with him.

Babydoll - 13 year old solid bay reg QH mare.   She is about 15.2hh and is a broodmare only.  She has a club foot on her hind, but gets around great.  She was stepped on as a yearling before we got her and the people didn't fix it.  She is a great mama and throws babies with nice butts.   $100

Blaze’s Tribute Equine Rescue is asking for your assistance.  We understand that times are tight for many right now, but the smallest amount can go a long way in the rehabilitation of our rescued horses.  Any amount that you can spare is greatly appreciated.   All donations are tax deductible and 100% of your donation goes towards the horses in our care.  Please consider making a donation today!  Donations can be sent to:

Blaze’s Tribute Equine Rescue
17667 Markita Drive
Jones, Oklahoma  73049 

Or donate on-line at:
www.blazesequinerescue.com 

Our Needs

Blaze’s is currently needing to raise enough money to get 200 round bales of Bermuda Hay hauled in.  It will take a Semi to get it all here in a timely manner.  The bales are 5x6 and weigh about 1600 pounds.  We can only get 23 on a Semi and it will cost us nearly $4,275.00, to get all the hay hauled in.  This will save us $35.00 a bale in the total cost.  It may sound expensive to get the hay hauled in, but ultimately, Blaze’s would be saving $7,000.00 in expenses for Hay.  Those savings will go a long way in other areas of priority.  

The cost of grain has reached an all time high!  Blaze’s feeds 2 tons of grain a week.  We are now paying $9.00 a bag for grain.  Which means we are spending $720 a week for grain alone.  We feed 12% Horse Pellets, which is usually the most cost effective!  We also have some elderly horses that are on a special needs diet and we feed them Nutrena Senior Feed which is $15.00 a bag and we feed 7 bags a week.   We also have a supplement called Envision made by Progressive Nutrition that cost $36.00 a bag, and we feed 6 bags a week.  We are desperately seeking donations to help offset those expenses.  We gladly accept donations of the above items at any time.  Blaze’s spends $1,014.00 a week just to feed our rescued horses.   Those expenses don’t even cover what we spend in Farrier, Veterinary, and equipment.  We ask that you please consider making a donation today to help us continue the quality care that our rescued horses deserve. 

Blaze’s Tribute Equine Rescue is now caring for 52 horses at this time.  Adopters are still very much needed as we still have many wonderful horses available for adoption.  If you or anyone you know are thinking about adding a horse to your family, please visit us on line at www.blazesequinerescue.com or call 405-399-3084 to schedule an appointment today. 

Boxes for Blazes 

Blaze’s Tribute Equine Rescue is accepting donated items for our upcoming Garage Sale.  We don’t have the exact date in place at this time, but we are planning a fall garage sale.  We are accepting donated items to be sold in our garage sale to help raise money for our rescued horses. Donated items are tax deductible.

Horse Photo Contest 

Check us out  August 1st at Midnight for our Funniest Horse Photo Contest.  Please watch our website for additional information at www.blazesequinerescue.com.   The contest will run from August 1st at Midnight until September 1st at Midnight.   What a wonderful way to help Blaze’s raise money and get your funniest photo of your special companion seen by many. 

Volunteers Needed 

We will be working the concession stands at the Oklahoma State Fair again this year and need volunteers to help work concession for Blaze’s.  Blaze’s gets a percentage of the sales earned!  Every bit helps tremendously!  We need volunteers from age 16 and over to help us.  If you are interested please e-mail Desiree Walling at dwalling@hintonet.net for additional information including dates and times available to work.  Desiree heads up our volunteer program and she will need a complete list of everyone that is willing to work.  It is a great opportunity to help the horses! 

T-Shirts & Hats 

Blaze’s still has T-Shirts and Hats available for purchase.  We have most sizes available, we are currently sold out of 2XL, but hope to order more soon!  T-Shirts are $15.00 and Hats are $12.50.  You can purchase them on-line or through the mail.  Proceeds from the sale’s benefit the rescued horses currently in our care. 

Livestock Shelters 

If you are needing a great built, portable Livestock Shelter, please check out Calumet Industries, Inc.  They have quality built Livestock Shelters available and if you mention Blaze’s Tribute Equine Rescue during the purchase of your shelter.   Blaze’s will get 10% of the purchase price.  These shelters are made from Galvalume Metal and have a Pipe Frame.  They are 15’ Wide X 9’ Deep, 7’ Back X  8’ Front, 29ga. Master Rib Metal, Four Anchors Included, 19 colors to choose from and Delivery Available.  Prices are $1195.00 for the Galvalume Metal and $1295.00 for the Colored Metal.  You can contact Calumet Industries at 405-262-2263 for additional information.  We have a display model available here at Blaze’s and you can visit our website at www.blazesequinerescue.com for a brochure.   

Motorcycle 

Blaze’s had a 1985 Yamaha Virago Motorcycle donated to us last year.  This is a nice bike and runs great.  We are in the process of trying to get a Title on the bike.  We are hoping to place this bike up for sale very soon!  If you are interested in purchasing a Motorcycle to save on gas and help the horses at the same time, please contact us by e-mail at blazesequineresc@aol.com or call us at 405-399-3084.
Blaze’s Tribute Equine Rescue Thanks You in advance for your continued support!  We simply can’t do this alone and your help is greatly appreciated.

LAZY HORSE RANCH 

www.LazyHorseRescue.org

We are devastated to announce: The time has come to close our doors !

The losses and debts of 4.5+ years of rescue have finally caught up with us, and worsened by severe weather and the horrible economy, we have no choice but to quit our private little rescue.....

Very few people know this, but "Lazy Horse Rescue" is a two-person operation - mainly just me, with the occasional help of my husband if the tractor or the barn needs repair, or if the horses are out of water.......

Other than that, from finding, rescuing, caring for and adopting out the horses, it's just me, no volunteers or other help whatsoever (besides some great foster-homes of course). And all that while I'm working a full-time job, working in and around the house, caring for 4 big dogs, etc., etc., etc.

Adoptions, sponsorships & donations have been slower than ever before, and the financial losses, plus the ever-growing day-to-day pressure and worries are now really taking its toll on us..... 

And even though we are both working full-time, all the expenses, debts and losses of over 4.5 years of horse rescue, are just becoming unbearable...  

 We will most-certainly remain committed to ALL horses adopted from here. We will stay in touch with all adopters, will do check-ups via e-mail or in person when necessary, and will also take back and re-adopt any horse that their adopter can no longer keep. We will also try to keep rescuing and placing the occasional horse in an emergency situation - as long as it is do-able and affordable. So please keep checking our website from time to time, and keep an eye out for a newsletter here or there. But LAZY HORSE RESCUE as you know it won't be any longer.... 

We need every help we can possibly get, to place these last 15+ horses. Due to reasons that I just tried to explain, we can't really afford to drastically lower any adoption fees, but for one last time we can offer a "payment plan" (SPONSOR-TO-ADOPT program), at least for the horses located in SD and at foster-homes that can keep the horses until the adoption fees are paid in full. And all horses located in SD, we can also board here until fall in case you want to adopt but aren't ready yet to bring your horse home yet. We can also offer TRIAL ADOPTIONS, which means you could adopt a horse, bring him/her home, and then have a certain time-frame to decide if you want to adopt the horse for good or not. If not, you would receive a full refund, but would lose the transportation fees and agree to foster the horse until re-adopted. And last but not least, in case transportation is the big issue, we could try to help out with transportation ourselves, but only within a limited area.

Almost ALL horses have to go, including horses in rehab, horses that are not on the website (please ask for details) and some of our permanent residents. However, even thought we are under a lot of pressure, we will NOT compromise on any of the adoption- and screening procedures, and we will still try to the find the BEST home for each horse.

Here are brand-new photos and videos of all horses located in SD (some listed on the webiste, some not) - the photos were taken today, with 50+ mph winds.....

PHOTOS 7-11-2008

VIDEOS 7-11-2008 

And for one last time - any donations towards a horse's care, adoption fee or transport would be GREATLY appreciated, and would help out tremendously with placing these last 15+ horses..... PLEASE HELP !

GANDALF (CO) - Senior White Percheron Gelding

Theresa spoke to UF this morning. Aaleyah’s surgery has been rescheduled for tomorrow. Dr. Ryan is still coming out this morning to have a look at her and also to check Kid’s injury. Keep praying everyone, it’s definitely working! I will let you all know what the dr. says after he leaves.

You have all been so generous in helping with Aaleyah’s needs. If you would, please take a look at the list below. We have angels that help with the costs, but we really need more angels. Please consider our needs below – even $1.00 helps! Thanks J 

These are the rescue's immediate needs for the next month. Any help is greatly appreciated!

We have compiled a list of needs for all horses for this month. The list includes links to

websites, company names, and phone numbers so anyone that can help us this month

can do so very easily. Thank you for taking the time to help our horses with their needs.

Corta-Flx HA is used by Ruby, Little E, Granny, and Jake.

Country Supply has it for the best price, $42.99 and they make a donation to us if you enter

out "Country Care Code" which is BHFER. The link to this item is below.

http://www.horse.com/Horse-Supplements/Joint-Support/CORTA-FLX-HA-Solution-BWS31.html

This supplement is used by Kiwi, Granny, and Gentleman. It is used to support

healthy weight and muscles in horses.

This supplement is only available from the website below, and costs $82.50.

http://www.kinetictech.net/products/mass

This product is used for Jake. The vet recommended it to help his feet. It helps

flush the toxins from his body and in doing so it shortens the time that the

abscesses brew in his feet.

This product costs $40.00 for a 4 pound jar, which lasts one month.

http://amavitahorse.com/AMAVita_Products_1.htm

We use Cocosoya oil for Gentleman, Kiwi, Momma Sue, Paco, & Chiquita.

It is a fat supplement that is a great weight builder, and also used to maintain weight on

horses like Gentleman, that require more grain than a smaller horse.

1 gallon is $16.29 + shipping. If you buy 2.5 gallons, it is $28.45 + shipping.

http://www.cocosoya.com/ezecommerce.cfm?fuseaction=productlist&subcategoryid=59

Cowboy Magic is a fantastic detangler. We are almost out. We keep it on hand to use after

baths, and also to use on rescues when they come in. Usually they have mats in their manes

and/or tails when they come in. Mats are painful because they constantly pull the hair.

By using this product it makes it quite easy to remove the mats with minimal pulling, and

it keeps us from having to cut the tail hair.

It is available in 2 sizes. 4 oz is $7.89, the 12 oz. is $17.19 from Country Supply. Please

use our "Country Care Code" BHFER and they donate a portion of the sale to us.

http://www.horse.com/Horse-Grooming/Coat-Care/Cowboy-Magic-Detangler-Shine-BKL06.html

This is a hoof rasp. We keep a few on hand to clean up hooves in between trims. Sometimes the

hooves get chipped, and if we rasp it down it helps prevent any further damage to the hoof wall.

We prefer Diamond Brand, but they are $17.95 each. There are other rasps available for less money

but they don't last as long. This is also a Country Supply item.

http://www.horse.com/Horse-Grooming/Farrier-Supply/Diamond-Hoof-Rasp-BIF65.html

We need additional halters!! We use rope halters because they are

easier for Theresa to fasten, and they fit different size horses. We

don't have a color preference, so pick your favorite color :)

They are $9.99 each or buy 2 or more for just $8.99 each! Remember to

enter our code at Country Supply!

http://www.horse.com/Farm-Ranch-Supplies/Halters/Cool-Citrus-Colored-Rope-Halter-BMH27.html

We also need regular nylon halters, too. We prefer to have safety halters with

the leather crown. If you order from Country Supply, they come in 2 sizes. We

do not have any "yearling" sizes on hand. These can be used on ponies, and

smaller horses, like the Pasos. They are just $14.99 each.

http://www.horse.com/Farm-Ranch-Supplies/Safety-Gear/Pro-Craft-Turnout-Safety-Halter-BMH16.html

Panacur Power Pack is a 5 day "power" wormer used on most of

our new arrivals, especially when we know they have worms.

We like to keep at least 2 on hand, and just used the last one

for Sparky. Each power pack is $52.49. Please be sure to use

our Country Care Code - BHFER. If you order over $75.00, shipping

is FREE!!

http://www.horse.com/Horse-Wormers/Fenbendazole/Panacur-Powerpack-BBL18.html

We have a few horses that would greatly benefit from chiropractic treatments. Those horses are:

GRANNY

JAKE

MOMMA SUE

Each chiropractic treatment is $125. Granny has an angel that pays $50.00 toward her treatment. If we could have

3 angels each donate $25.00 per month for Granny, that would be fantastic. If anyone would like to donate for

Jake and Momma Sue that would be absolutely wonderful.

Shavings - We use 3 bags PER DAY of Regal Downs Gold Bedding for Momma Sue, Aaleyah, and Buttercup.

Each bag costs $6.95. We use these for them because they are dust-free.

Buttercup goes through one bag a day for her stall.

Ruby uses 1/2 a bag each day, and she is bedded down with Derby Gold Fine Bedding, at $4.95 per bag.

Grain - We go through (are you ready) a 50 pound bag of Purina Equine Senior EACH DAY! One bag costs $15.00

 We also feed Purina Strategy, and each 50 pound bags lasts about 1 1/2 days. One bag costs $14.00.

We also feed Purina alfalfa hay cubes. Each 50 pound bag lasts 1 1/2 days, and costs $15.00.

The above items - shavings, grain, and hay cubes - are all purchased from Sanders Feed of Ocala. Mr. Sanders is a

wonderful man, and we enjoy doing business with his company. Credits can be called in directly to his store.

The number is 352-873-8660, please tell them it is for Beauty's Haven Equine Rescue.

Buttercup eats milk replacer pellets. Each 50 pounds bag lasts her about 7 days, and costs $40.00. She also gets

Foal-Lac, but has plenty of that right now, thanks to one of her wonderful angels.

Aaleyah Belle still drinks milk replacer. Each 50 pound bag lasts her about a week, and costs $130.00 per bag.

Because she hasn't learned to chew yet, she cannot eat the pellets and now it may be longer before she can

attempt to chew because of her surgery scheduled for July 11.

Our milk replacer powder and pellets come from Berettini Feed. Credits can be called in 352-629-1447.

Our hay comes from Sanders Feed of Ocala, 352-873-8660. We purchase T&A, O&A, and Alfalfa hay from them.

Currently, one ton of hay (which lasts us approx. 9 days) is $405. We have enough hay left for about 4 days.

We need a bottle of Banamine. One bottle is $89.

All horses are due for a trim this month, at a cost on average of $33 per horse x 18 horses. Donations for this can be made via PayPal or Google.

We buy Perry's Hoof Oil for our horses' hooves, but it is made and sold locally. It costs $15 per can, and donations

for this item can be made via PayPal or Google.

We can always use more fly spray. We use Endure, and it can be purchased

 from Country Supply. By the gallon, it costs $69.95. One gallon lasts a few days.

With more than 20 horses to fly spray each day or so, it gets costly!

http://www.horse.com/Farnam/Pest-Control/Farnam-Endure-Fly-Spray-BUE30.html

And last but not least, we have some bare spots that could use some grass seed. For a 50 pound bag it is $127.59. 

Sincerely, 

Anne Boris

Phoenix Rising Horse Rescue in Nebraska is in desperate need of help after the storms that rolled through there last night (17 Jun).  There was golfball to baseball sized hail and many of the horses received injuries from the hail (they were given the option to be in or out of the barn due to the possibility of tornados and unfortunately only one mare out of the whole herd stayed in the barn!).  The horses paniced with the hail and ran through fences, there is a lot of damage to the house, buildings, and farm equipment.  Please if you can donate to help with the vet care that will be needed for around 20 horses, contact Lynn Schmale at lynnschmale@hotmail.com (lynnschmale @ hotmail.com).  Her Paypal account is phoenix.rising.horserescue@hotmail.com (phoenix.rising.horserescue @ hotmail.com) or you can send donations to her vet directly at:

PERMISSION TO CROSS POST!!!!!!!!

Gods Creatures Rescue is sad to announce we are no longer accepting

any animals. We are currently offering our rescues at a reduced fee of

$75.00 Due to lack of adoptions there is no funding and we have no

money to continue to stay open. Food cost has gone up and so has vet

care. We welcome any licensed rescue facility to help with finding

homes for our animals or transfer to your organization. I am the only

person running this rescue I have no foster homes and no help. I have

had some sever family issues come up and have to place all the rescues

on my site by the end of July. All are spayed & neutered, current on

shots, heartworm negetave and on prevention. I cannot afford to buy

frontline for them this month so they are not current on that. I have

been in rescue many years and no matter how hard I try things just get

worse and worse. It breaks my heart to have to close my rescue but

there is no alternitave. The dogs are not getting all they need or

deserve. I am pleading for your help, I know it is the worst time

possiable to do this but there is no other option at this point without

the animals suffering. Please feel free to call me any time

urgent help needed

 I am so tired  I just typed a message ran spell check and I guess the message went to cyber space or maybe you will get this twice.....who knows 
I just got home and its 1 am I am so heart sick for the pain this pony must have went through. He was seperatedfrom his life long companion and given to a livestock dealer. He went crazy trying to find his buddy and ran into a 2x6 is what I am told. 
A pinto pony gelding suffered a wound just below his eye. A portion of bone is sticking out and the wound is deep. We are sitting here awaiting the vet for his care. I am asking for donations to help make this happen. I wouldn't ask if I didn't need help for him. Once he has had vet care I have a foster already lined up. 
I am just guessing  this vet call is going to cost around 300. or more. Please consider helping even if its only 1.00 it all adds up. 
Make donations directly to my vet

Subject: *** SPAM ***Fw: Minnesota Hooved and Equine Foundation needs our help

I am in MN and a northern MN 'farm'  had 19 dead horses (see article below) which is gruesome.

I know most of us work with dogs and cats (and yes even a goat), but I am asking for your help in donations to the MN Hooved Animal Rescue Foundation below to assist with the 67 horses they have taken in due to cruelty cases such as this since May!  Yes, May.

Please, even if it's $1, $5, $10...every dollar will help them heal these poor animals.

The address is below;  I hope you can help knowing that we will continue to have to help the dogs and cats (and goats and horses) all year!

Thank you!

19 dead horses, 9 starving ones found on Hewitt farm

Minnesota Hooved Animal Rescue Foundation

The carcass of one of the horses found last month at a farm in Todd County, Minn. Nine other horses that were barely alive were removed from the farm, but three of them later were destroyed. An investigation is continuing.

A Todd County sheriff's deputy found dead foals next to their dead mothers. A felony case is being pursued.

By PAUL WALSH, Star Tribune Last update: June 5, 2008 - 7:57 PM

A grisly discovery on a central Minnesota farm: 19 dead horses scattered about and nine clinging to life.

That's the scene that a Todd County sheriff's deputy came upon at the farm in Hewitt.

Of those nine, three had to be destroyed, said the head of an animal rescue center that first took in the surviving horses. 

"I believe the rest of them are going to be fine," said Drew Fitzpatrick, whose Minnesota Hooved Animal Rescue Foundation in Zimmerman is nursing the remaining six.

When Fitzpatrick arrived at the farm May 25 with three trailers, she saw horse carcasses and horses that were still alive but just "skin and bones ... their skin loaded up with parasites."

Dead foals were next to their dead mothers.

"All of the neighbor dogs had been chewing on [one horse]," Fitzpatrick said. "It was really heart-wrenching."

Bryan Tebben, chief deputy for the county sheriff's office, said a deputy was sent to the farm after a report of horses that were loose. The deputy determined the animals came from a farm in the 13300 block of Raccoon Road. Two people were on the property, but the owner was not, Tebben said. The owner was in jail from May 3 until Wednesday in Wadena County on suspicion on drunken driving.

In the meantime, Tebben's office continues to investigate and intends to present a felony case to the county attorney.

Fitzpatrick said of the nine horses her center retrieved, eight were stallions. The mare, she believes, was pregnant and "all bitten to hell."

Despite how terribly the horses had been treated, she said, they're friendly to those tending them. "It's embarrassing as a human that these animals can be so forgiving."

Wade Hanson, an Animal Humane Society investigator in Golden Valley called to the farm, said, "We've never been to a property where there's been 19 dead horses."

Hanson added, "We're probably going to see worse before we're going to see better" because of the overall economic downturn. He cited the high price of gasoline to run farm vehicles and the skyrocketing cost for hay to feed horses..

Still, he said, "that's not an excuse" for neglecting animals. "There's always a way" to do what's best for animals, he said, whether it's turning them over to rescue operations or selling them. However, he acknowledged, "you can't get a decent dollar" for a horse now.

Fitzpatrick said she has seen many cases of abuse and neglect in her 15 years of rescuing horses and other animals. Even so, she said, "It's still tough. If it ever became easy, I'd have to go find something else [to do]."

Cross post away!!!

Hello all

This past year a huge rescue in the Kentucky area resulted in 17 dead horses including several titled mustangs, the rescue of 5 mustang mares, and several other breeds.  The 5 mares have been fostered at a wonderful ranch while being rehabilitate but now it's time to have them go to their forever home.  The man that has been fostering the horses has adopted 2 of them.  The other 3 mares are heading to Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary in South Dakota. 

As fantastic as this news is, we need your help.  The transporter is willing to haul the horses just for gas money!  So, we need $750 TOTAL (not bad for a Kentucky to South Dakota run) to make this happen for these mares. 

What you can do to help -- go to www.speakupforhorses.org and click on the Paypal link.  There is no donation too small.  Speak Up For Horses is a 501c3, non profit, so your donation is tax deductible.  Be sure to mark your donation as "mustangs"  You can also snail mail to the address on the website. 

Please help us give these 3 girls a gift they so deserve - a forever home where they can go back to just being horses. 

On behalf of these 3 special mustang girls, all those that have worked so hard behind the scenes rescuing and caring for these horses, and Speak Up For Horses -- THANK YOU.
