  Matt is warming up the truck and we are heading to an emergency vet visit at Comstock with Dandelion. Last night she choked on her grain. We rushed her to our Doc and he cleared the choke. She was resting quietly but is now showing signs that she aspirated the feed into her lungs. Her condition is critical at best. We were quoted approximately $1000 to get her scoped, radiographs etc. She has fought so hard to overcome her wounds from the Coyote attack and was thriving. Her enthusiasm and zest for life is what caused her to eat so fast. PLEASE HELP US HELP HER! We are already $4000 in the hole from the last vet bills. That came out of our hay funds. She deserves this chance after fighting so hard and overcoming her injuries. Zimmerman Veterinary 1 775-623-0981 and let them know it is for "Palomino - Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang".

  Quick update and a great big THANK YOU to everyone who helped us with Dandelion and to get this big guy home. Dandelion is doing very well and already has an amazing couple who will be adopting her. Meet TEXAS TRIUMPH. This beautiful 4 year old was slated for slaughter. When I got the call I had to step up. Sadly, (as is pretty much the norm with most of the horses we rescue) he has a life threatening condition, caused most likely by lack of care. When I went to check on him after he arrived I saw his feed and water pouring back out his nose. Much like the 2 year old TB we rescued, he could not swallow. After nearly $3000 in vet bills for him alone, (much of that cost being for the medicine for his horrific ulcers and the infection he is fighting), we are limping along, hour by hour. His preliminary diagnosis is Esophageal Stricture, which means his Esophagus is full of scarring which is making it extremely difficult for him to eat or drink. At this point he is on liquid mash, and although he still has food and water coming back out his nose, he has been getting some down. (We had some really great poop, which means food & water are actually getting to his stomach and everything is working well inside.) He is not in pain as far as the feed and water, but had horrible ulcers. I believe the meds are working as far as the ulcers, but his prognosis is fragile at best. He has had days where he runs and plays, and then yesterday he didn't eat much. He is thriving as far as getting love and attention, and all he wants to do is "hang out". Worse case scenario is he will be loved and cared for properly until he suffers a bad case of "choke" again or gets a deadly case of pneumonia from aspirating. Best case scenario is he will live a long and healthy life, but all the vets warned me the second option is not likely. HE NEEDS YOUR PRAYERS! He is going to be part of our "Sunshine & Smiles Program" for as long as we have him. However, he is enjoying himself, wants to "cuddle" and is playing with everything he can find, interacting with the other horses and just being a great big, loving clown. So now we are struggling to catch up with the vet bills, keep feeding all the kids here, and start getting ready for foaling season. We recently got the 2 remaining stallions gelded and lots of long feet trimmed. All of this costs money and we still have 4 milk babies. So ALL help is so appreciated. Again, THANK YOU FOR SAVING SO MANY LIVES. If you want to donate directly to our vet, here is the information.

ABOVE - How beautiful and precious am I? Please help Mom save me in honor of my brother Christmas!! I begin this update with heartbreaking news for those of you who haven't heard, I had to say goodbye to Baby Christmas. He fought so long and hard, and was improving so much. Sadly we found out that the infection was so bad for so long that it damaged the inside of his neck beyond repair. His wounds were so severe there was simply no way to save him. I loved that little boy beyond measure, and he loved his Mom. Thankfully he passed peacefully, surrounded by love after days of eating his munchies and hangin' out with Mom. THANK YOU to everyone who stepped up for this beautiful soul. NOW MEET DANDELION. She shared the same daddy as Christmas, a gorgeous stallion named Black Jack.. So it's almost like we still have part of him. Now when the tears stream down my face from the agony of losing Christmas, my beautiful Dandelion seems to hug me. She was also attacked by most likely the same predator as her brother. She has horribly infected wounds that need flushed and cleaned several times a day, as well as needing 4 injections a day. We are praying once again that we get a miracle. Thankfully her prognosis, although a bit guarded, is extremely more positive than Baby Christmas' was. Of course we are still paying off vet bills for Christmas and Skipper, as well as 2 of the Sad 7 etc. etc. THANK YOU to my angels who sent payment directly to our account at the vet, or donations to us directly. You are amazing and so appreciated. It's time to stock up the barn with hay for the winter. We are currently in the middle of another ongoing rescue. We will share more when the horse is safe. We need to save him (them?), vet him and get him back home. (So glad the roads down south are not covered in ice and snow.) We so appreciate the love and support. With 4 milk babies going through about $600 worth of milk powder a week, and 30 equine here at the rescue (most of them special needs), it costs a pretty penny to do what we do. So thank you for making it possible to save these lives! If you want to donate directly to our vet, here is the information.
