THANK YOU FROM CHILLY PEPPER & ALL THE CRITTERS Y'ALL HAVE SAVED! MANY PRAYERS NEEDED FOR LUCKY!3/30/2021  Meet "LUCKY # 5" Lucky was found wandering alone on the range just hours after his birth. We have no idea whether he was abandoned on purpose due to his health issues, or his band was scared away or something happen to Mama. He came in with some gurgling sounds and was twitching and shaking off and on. He was given Colostrum immediately, and thus started the journey of Foal # 5. Lil Red is finally at a point you could call "stable". He crashed so many times it seemed like he had no chance. He went down after he was tubed, nearly into a coma. Then he had to have Doc come out again. He is still having some gut issues, but doing very well overall. Hunter is also doing pretty well, and the little lamb was adopted out to a wonderful home. Nicholas, was the 1st baby on this last, very long trip. He went to a very special adopter and is thriving. You can follow him on our adoption page. He and Lucky look like twins except Nicholas is much larger and older. So now we come to # 5. LUCKY is still absolutely touch and go. He is on all sorts of medications and is making all my hair fall out from worrying about him so much. We had his blood work done, and it is not bad. His IGG levels are good, which means giving him the Colostrum was most likely exactly what he needed. Thank you to everyone who donated so we could afford to have it on hand. Please keep him in your prayers. Lucky is having all sorts of random issues and his waste still smells like death. I am hoping and praying this is not why he was left alone hours after being born. We have incurred lots of vet bills, and the babies are loving their milk. They are going through mass amounts and I want to thank the folks who sent it. None of this would happen if it wasn't for y'all. Our beautiful Appy mare, now know as Lady, went to a wonderful new home this weekend. Today, Hawk, Hidalgo and Bailey (aka CC) arrived at their new homes. So adoptions are going well, although my poor lil heart keeps breaking. It stinks to not be the "best home" for a horse you are in love with LOL. I have "baby brain", from not sleeping much for the last 4? weeks. I am up all night, every night with these kids, so hopefully this all makes sense. Just wanted to stop between making milk etc. and giving Lucky his meds to say THANK YOU! We couldn't do it without you, and yes, we still need help. Look how much you have accomplished. I cannot even believe what magic happens when we all come together. God bless and please keep these babies in your prayers! The babies are going through milk like crazy. ANY help is much appreciated. Anyone who wants to donate directly to vet bills can simply call Harrah Veterinary at 509-848-2943 and donate ANY amount towards our ongoing bills. Just tell them it's for Palomino - Chilly Pepper. As always, YOU are the ones who keep this going. We are just hitting the busy time and I am praying I get to go home for a couple of weeks. These last 3 babies have already gone through hundreds of dollars of milk, enemas, meds and supplies.

 Meet "TUCKER & LIL RED" These precious souls are fighting hard to be here and live in this brutal world. Lil Red has been touch and go from the start and is far from out of the woods. He had to be tube fed and then needed IV fluids. The vet has been out here several times and we are simply hour to hour. Prayers are much appreciated! His little brain had not finished wiring when he was born. I am pretty sure he was a preemie. I have had numerous other foals like this, and they usually figure things out. He is NOT a dummy foal, just simply not "all there yet". He was about 3 days old when I got him after being born on the feed lot. Tucker has been having non stop tummy issues and is a bit colicky. Both have been through the wringer and will likely need more vet care and blood work. They are beautiful little boys who have had their Mama's ripped away in front of them. Both of them spent the 1st couple nights crying incessantly. It is brutal to hear. I just got the vet bill this morning for these last babies. This trip alone, the vet bills have totaled $2243.17. (*I LOVE Doc Bruce. His prices are SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER than we were being charged before. He is always there at the drop of a hat and I cannot say enough about how blessed we are. Not only for his expertise, but for the savings on each and every call he comes on.*) Sadly, the bills still add up with the number of lives y'all are making it possible to save. Nicholas and the little orphaned lamb both are at their new homes. Nicholas is thriving with his new Mama and is healing not only her broken heart, but the rest of the family's as well. The babies are going through milk like crazy. ANY help is much appreciated.

Wow - the insanity has already begun. Y'all JUST SAVED TEN MORE LIVES since I arrived in WA to pick up the Stallion and the 2 Pregnant mares! I was getting ready to head back home to NV on Monday when I received another urgent phone call for an orphaned, abandoned foal.Then a call for an abandoned, injured, newborn orphaned lamb. It never stops! This morning I had Doc come out and pull Coggins on "Nicholas", (Our most recent Emergency), I was prepping to finally head home and my phone rang again. There are "tinies" at the Shipper's and I should be getting them tomorrow. So apparently I am not going home anytime soon. Sadly, NEARLY ALL the funds have been depleted on this last rescue. Every day that I am here, I have to have folks at home taking care of the rescue. Although most of their time is volunteer, it still adds up substantially. (They are amazing!) We also need to get another load of hay for the "special needs" kids at the rescue. Fuel costs are rising and that is a substantial cost for us even before the ridiculous prices we are already starting to see. I have to get more shelter set up for these critical babies. As the numbers increase, so does the need for safe nursery space to give them what they need. We spent roughly $2000+ simply to "save" these lives, and spent over $1,000 on vetting for health certs, (and that does not include the latest couple visits). That was just to get the horses to camp and keep them off the slaughter truck. (Just in the last 2 weeks). This DOES NOT include medical care, feed, hauling, etc. It is just a drop in the bucket of the rescue expenses. I realize folks are struggling. However, I will keep fighting for these lives as long as I have the funding to do so. Sadly I have been warned that they are planning on "hitting it hard" this year because there are so many horses. So I am asking everyone who wants me to keep saving these precious lives to make it happen. Great news however, these last horses that you saved are nearly all adopted, and yes, we saved the "3 Old Ladies". They are currently in NV and being assessed. They are approximately 25 years old and sweet as can be. Sadly we had to let Angel Face leave this world that was nothing but cruel to her. She was in excruciating pain and it was much worse the photos showed. She is running free in Heaven with the Angels and is finally free from the horrific pain. I am still working on the mare with the long feet. However, her owner did get them trimmed (how well I don't know), and supposedly the vet is going to assess her. I am still on standby. I know it costs a lot to set these souls free, but it is the right thing to do! It is beyond devastating and it feels like you are being torn apart, yet I will always do it if no one else will. When you see Angel Face below, please know that your love and support ended her horrible suffering. YOU made such a difference for this beautiful soul by alleviating her endless pain. THANK YOU!

URGENT HELP NEEDED FOR HORRIBLE ABUSE CASES - UNTREATED BROKEN LEG!!! STANDING BY FOR MORE BABIES!3/1/2021  Look at this poor mare's leg. Look at the other mare's hooves. This is serious abuse, and we need to try and save them. Can you EVEN IMAGINE THE PAIN??! Sadly I do not have much hope for fixing her leg, but I will do whatever she needs. She has suffered long enough. I am hoping we can get her here, have her checked out by the vet, and then ease her pain. She also has to be in agony. After having 40 plus surgeries on my leg, and having my femur snap in half, I can't even imagine how much pain she is in. With so much weight and stress on that front leg, it has to be awful. The second mare shown has been beyond abused. She also has to be in agony. It will be a miracle if her Coffin bones have not rotated. Both will need vetting, x-rays and lots of special care. IF I can save the second mare, she will most likely need long term, specialized farrier care as well. If I DON'T GET HER, he plans to CONTINUE BREEDING HER!!! I have been promised the one with the broken leg, but still working on saving her if we raise enough funds to save her and take care of her. YESTERDAY, I received a 911 for 3 old ladies. They are wild (unhandled) mini's, aged approximately 25, and they are considered in extremely poor health. They have nowhere else to go and also will need vetting and specialty care. I am ALSO on notice for more babies. These horses are JUST the ones that God put in front of me these last few days. PLEASE HELP ME HELP THEM! I NEVER look for horses to save,and sadly, I simply cannot say yes to all of them. The ones I share with y'all to save, well ALL OF THEM are urgent calls and 911's put in front of me. I am already emotionally spent, and the season is just starting. Of course the last one never ended. I was told there could be a huge number of babies all at once, and since I got 70 in 2 days just a few years ago, that in itself is a bit stressful. THANK YOU for saving the 6 in NV, and the last 8 in WA. ALL the pregnant mares are doing well and so are the babies. Sadly, Lil Dancer was too far gone, and he is running in Heaven with his Mama. Thank you to Freedom Reigns in CA for taking the 3 NV wild and pregnant mares!
