 The calls just keep coming. As of last night I now have THREE more babies and am on standby for more this evening. Every baby that as come in is severely dehydrated, has injuries and the vet is here almost on a daily basis. Please help so I can say yes when the call comes this evening. We lost our beautiful Tessa. She was so banged up when she came in. Sadly we thought she was our healthiest, but her internal injuries proved to be too much. Doc explained that a tiny tear or injury can turn into a deadly one once the foals start moving around. Sadly, in spite of being under vet care, she lost her fight. She was such a Mama's girl, and was so loved by all. Firefly is in critical shape. Her internal injuries from being trampled and catapulted into a building (right in front of my horrified eyes) appear to be causing immense issues. The more she started moving and playing, the more stress she put on her injured body. She is losing her will to fight, so she needs your prayers. Sometimes God just gives us these babies to love and comfort before they pass, but the pain is overwhelming and it makes me want to quit. Donations have been hit hard by Covid, but I do have to keep fighting for these precious lives. I so appreciate each and every penny y'all donate to help these little ones. They do not deserve the life they have been handed. I can't change the world, but together we can change the world for one life at a time. Thank you for always being part of this heartbreaking journey. Hopefully the lives that flourish will keep our hearts fed so we can continue the fight. Prayers are so appreciated. Thank you for ALL the donations of supplies, milk, milk money etc. I was going through 80 pounds of milk powder every 3 days with so many babies.

Meet "FIREFLY". This beautiful girl was roped to the point of having raw, infected wounds on her neck. She was trampled and smashed into something hard enough to cause permanent???? damage to her jaw. She cannot chew correctly, has a huge swollen area on the side of her face, her lip hangs almost as if she has permanent nerve damage and obviously she came in terrified. The phone keeps ringing. In the middle of one emergency, we get another call! I realize we have had a lot of "emergencies", but sadly that means we have had a lot or orphaned, injured and dehydrated babies. Not one single baby has come in healthy. The vet bills are climbing every day. The average cost to care for a baby is approximately $21 per day! This does NOT include vet bills, medications, etc. etc. Y'all saved - Vance aka Vanessa, Captain, Trey, Tessa, Lucky, Chrome, Brian, Joey, Scooter, Firefly, Radar, Trooper, Tucker, Lil Red & Nicholas, and Lucy the Lamb. Adopted (New Mama's - see below) Chrome, Scooter, Brian & Joey Trooper (RIP) Nicholas - adopted (follow on our adopter's page) Tucker & Lil Red ("Dustin' Time Rescue" in Pocatello) 7 With me at Camp, Tessa, Firefly, Lucky, Radar, Vance (aka Vanessa), Trey, Captain. Thank you for helping save these 15 precious souls. Sadly however, most all of them have required extra vet care and medications. We are going through well OVER $140 a day in supplies with milk powder, shaving etc. This does NOT include vetting, Coggins, health certs, brand inspections etc. Thankfully I have wonderful folks taking care of everything in NV, but that is also a big expense. (A huge % of what they do is on a volunteer basis, but it still is a large expense out of the budget.) I So appreciate all of our Chilly Pepper Family! YOU are the reason ALL of these babies are safe or no longer suffering so much. THANK YOU!! Please remember, If I don't ask for help, I cannot help the babies and they will not survive. It's all about the horses! This is the link to our Chilly Pepper's Wild Horse & Orphan Foal Adoption Page, where you can see the progress and new lives of the horses YOU HAVE HELPED SAVED!

ANOTHER 911 !! The phone keeps ringing. In the middle of one emergency, we get another. Sadly, my beautiful boy "Trooper", who came with a dry mare, arrived too late to help. (It was the wrong mare). He lost his life due to starvation and a lack of Colostrum. By the time I got him, there was no hope, although I didn't know it right away. I knew he was fragile, but have to say it was still shocking how quickly he crashed. The internal damage was already done, and he never stood a chance. We got him late afternoon, gave him his colostrum, got him stabilized, he drank his milk and he seemed to be resting quietly. No fever, and by 3 a.m. we were at WSU Emergency Vet Hospital, (3.5 hours away). His short life on this earth was full of pain and sickness. Thankfully once we got him he at least had some pain relief and a full belly. Never ever give anything prior to Colostrum, and it has to be soon, without delay, after being born. I had not even arrived back at camp when the phone rang. Another new orphan, this time 2 or 3 days old? Brian was dehydrated and horribly constipated. We made it through the night and he is doing better than when he came in. He will see the vet today. Hours later - (today) - ANOTHER call. 2 more day old babies needed our help. Vet was just here. Two of the boys are hanging in there; however the 3rd little colt is very fragile, and needs so many prayers. He is on antibiotics and will be monitored 24.7 Like Doc said, they can be fine one minute and crashed the next. So many folks don't realize that they can look "good", but inside it's a different story. These babies are ULTRA fragile, especially when they are only days old. These critical cases are not only hard, but very expensive. We are still not caught up from the last few rescues and all the vet bills those babies incurred. These precious boys are going through our supplies quickly. We really appreciate any help. I am currently on stand by for more babies, and right now the focus is to keep these boys alive and get them stable. Lucky is coming home. Sadly he did not bond with his new Mommy. She adored him, but he simply wasn't interested. We have done hundreds and hundreds of foals, and seen this quite often. When a baby is pushed out by the band, it is usually a terrifying experience, and they often take a long time to see adult horses as safe. He plays horsey games with Tyler, (our mini), and he and the baby Brian will be keeping each other company. One of these precious babies will get the Mama that would have been Lucky's. She was ultra patient and loving. It will just be a matter of time until Lucky can be comfortable with the big guys. I couldn't say no to these precious boys. Please help if you will. Want to say thank you to the folks who helped with Trooper. Such heartbreak, but so grateful his last hours were as they should be. Peace full, a full belly and knowing so much love. It looks like "the season is HERE!" I can't do it without you. Please help me keep on doing this work God puts in front of me. So appreciate all of our Chilly Pepper Family!

As my heart was breaking into a million tiny pieces, I unloaded Lucky from our trailer into Bev's trailer. After 25 days of literally 24/7 - constant care, our beautiful LUCKY is still with us. He survived so many crashes by the Grace of God! He has a vet coming today or tomorrow to his new place, and he will be hooked up with a real "horsey Mama" at our friend Bev's. Loading him into another trailer and watching him drive away nearly dropped me to my knees. My tears had not even stopped when the phone rang. Another 911. This time for a 10 hour old? little foal who has not had a drop of Colostrum and sadly a tiny bit of milk. He/she is on his way with his skinny Mama to see if we can possibly save him. No one knew the mare was pregnant. She is wormy and skinny and losing hair so it is pretty clear he did not get everything he needed in the early stages of his development. Baby is already starting to fail, so he/she will also need lots of prayers. I have not had a chance to assess Mama or baby yet, but I do know we are looking at some serious 24/7, round the clock care, and some hefty vet bills. He/she will get colostrum as soon as he gets here, and the vet is already on notice that they are arriving. He/she will need his IGG levels checked and very likely a Plasma Transfusion. We need to stock up on hay, more milk powder, Colostrum etc. _Funds are scarily depleted and I am praying y'all want to step up and help us get the baby and his Mama whatever care they need._ The season is just starting, and as I said, I hadn't even returned from delivering Lucky when the call came in. IT'S GO TIME, and there is nothing to indicate this year will be any easier than last year. PLEASE DONATE if you can and share. Chilly Pepper has quite a few special needs that have to stay on permanently, and they love their feed, vet care etc. The babies have gone through nearly ALL the milk. 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. You can also donate to Zimmerman Vet in Winnemucca. 775-623-0981. We have incurred so many bills from this last group of babies, health certs, geldings, tubings, iv's etc. 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 babies have already gone through hundreds of dollars of milk, enemas, meds and supplies.
