Horse Haven of Tennessee

30 DAYS. 56 POUNDS. ONE INCREDIBLE FIGHTER.

Just look at Krystal!

When Krystal arrived at Horse Haven of Tennessee, she was severely underweight, with painful sores, hair loss, and irritated skin covering much of her body. Her condition was heartbreaking, and we knew her road to recovery wouldn’t be easy.

But Krystal wasn’t giving up, and neither were we. ❤️

With veterinary care, medications, specialized nutrition, and lots of TLC from our incredible team, Krystal has gained an AMAZING 56 POUNDS in just 30 days! 🎉

And the progress doesn’t stop at the scale! Her sores are healing, her skin is improving, and we’re beginning to see the beautiful horse underneath all those painful patches.

Krystal still has a long road ahead. Her skin needs time to heal, her coat needs time to recover, and she has more weight to gain. But these photos are a beautiful reminder of what just 30 days of proper care, compassion, and dedication can accomplish.

This is what rescue looks like. It’s not always pretty. It’s medications, veterinary visits, careful monitoring, and countless hours of dedication. But then you see progress like Krystal’s, and every bit of it is worth it.

To our incredible veterinarians, staff, and volunteers who continue to fight for Krystal every single day, THANK YOU. And to everyone who has donated toward her care, shared her story, or cheered her on from afar, please know that you are part of her journey, too.

Krystal’s recovery is possible because of an entire community that believes horses like her deserve a second chance.

56 pounds stronger. 30 days healthier. And so much hope for the days ahead.

Some mornings, you just have to stop and take it all in. 🌅

The sky put on quite a show over Horse Haven of Tennessee this morning, reminding us just how beautiful this little piece of paradise really is.

As we continue building a brighter future for the horses who need us most, moments like these remind us how far we’ve come and how much we have to look forward to.

Krystal’s journey is still being written, and some University of Tennessee students are helping her turn the page. 🧡🐴

When Krystal arrived at Horse Haven on October 2, this sweet older mare had severe skin lesions and needed veterinary care. Her journey has included a skin biopsy, daily care, and ongoing treatment. We’ve already seen improvement, but healing takes time.

Now, a group of UT students have chosen to support Horse Haven by creating a fundraiser for Krystal! We’re so grateful they’re using their voices to share her story and help provide the care she needs.

Every gift helps support her recovery, and every share helps her story reach someone new. Please join us in cheering on Krystal—and thanking these students for putting their compassion into action! ❤️

Sometimes the best company is simply a good friend by your side.

Now THIS is what peace looks like!

Our eight newest arrivals are already enjoying the good life at Horse Haven!

Did you know that when donkeys lie down together, it’s often a sign they feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable with their herd?

After everything these sweet souls have experienced, seeing them resting together in a big, grassy pasture makes our hearts happy. 🥹

Welcome to your new beginning, little herd!

💕 EIGHT New Faces at Horse Haven! 💕

Our barn family just got a little bigger… and a whole lot cuter! 🥰

Please help us welcome 8 donkeys to Horse Haven of Tennessee!

Several of our new arrivals are intact males who will need castrations, and we also have several jennies who are expecting little ones of their own!

For now, our priority is giving these sweet souls time to decompress, settle into their new surroundings, and get comfortable with their new routine. With plenty of pasture to roam, fresh hay to munch on, and the care they deserve, they’re getting a fresh start here at HHT. ❤️

These donkeys are still learning to trust their new environment, so we’re giving them the time and space they need to adjust at their own pace.

We can’t wait to get to know each of their personalities and share more of their stories with you!

Stay tuned… our donkey adventures are just beginning! 🫏🐴💕
