Emergency Call for orphans in WA

5/23/2016

Another Emergency - There are at least two seriously injured babies in WA needing your help. We got an emergency call last night for two injured orphans. Not sure how many came in but two need our help right away. All we know so far is there is a potentially very serious head injury and a leg injury. At this point they are being cared for where they were dropped off by the trappers.

We picked up Eight (8), not 6 last week. All are doing well although lil Emma has some residual issues from her head injury. We are hoping that time will help her heal and she will be just fine. We placed Tig last week. He was not in critical shape, but in desperate need of some tender loving care. He went to a wonderful woman who has just the magic that he needs. What a sweetheart he is. We also placed Misty (the miniature paint) in a wonderful home :)

Although saving these horse kids is a spendy and time consuming endeavor, what you are making possible is for each and every one of them to have a chance for a long and happy life.

To give you an idea of where your money goes, for the last 8 babies,
$ 600 would be bail, plus each Coggins and Health Certificate averaged $130 per each horse, and we went through a few hundred dollars in milk, hay and meds before even leaving Washington. We average a 40# bag of milk for every 2 babies per week, and that is about $600 per week for 8 babies. Then you start figuring bedding, grain, hay, meds, vet costs, etc and it really starts adding up. Of course we always do everything we possibly can ourselves to keep expenses down. We so appreciate what you make possible :)

So please say your prayers for safe travel, and that we can help these little ones. I was working on our "thank you's" for all the love and support y'all have sent, but instead we are "on the road again". But please know that we so appreciate everything you do that makes this all possible.

We want to thank everyone for being part of saving all of these lives. It means the whole world to each and every horse that we save, and although we can't save them all, we are grateful for all the lives we do save because of folks like you and your love and support.

Life in the world of rescue changes by the second. We got the call again, but this time it was confirmed, we needed to come pick up another Six Slaughter Babies.
​

So we are on the way as I write this These kids are in tough shape and have been through the wringer. Left alone in a trap for a day or more, all six were trying to nurse on a dying mare. In spite of the best efforts of the folks we work with, the mare passed. So we are left with six little souls who need us badly.


I will post pictures as soon as I am able.


DOUBLE J TRAILERS in Woodland (and also in Albany, OR) donated a hay rack for the Rolling Foal Hospital. They installed that and the much needed fridge at no cost for labor and only charged us their costs on the fridge. As we travel as inexpensively as possible, (camping whenever possible and cooking most of our meals to save funds), not to mention bringing easily $1000 + of Colostrum and other medicines and emergency supplies for these little ones that must be refrigerated, a fridge is pretty essential.


Y'all have already saved lots of little lives this year, and we are so very grateful. But this baby season is just starting and we can't leave any behind. So as long as God keeps putting them in front of us, we will do our best to save them. We so appreciate all of you who are part of this and make it all possible.!!


I am sorry the links have not been working properly, they are supposed to be fixed. Thank you for your patience :)

Four New Kids, new homes for some, & a Big Girl update from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang

After placing the first 7 babies, we picked up Shimmer (little gray girl) & Cocoa Puff, the chocolate colored baby mustang. The next Monday, along came Cupcake and her mama. Cupcake is a miniature horse and is about 6 months old. She is wild and untouched at this moment, but we will take the time we need to gentle her. :) She, as well as her mama, will be available for adoption, along with Shimmer and Cocoa Puff at a later date.

We placed Phantom in a wonderful home, (son of the Phantom Stallion), and watched him drive away as the tears flowed down. Loved him so, but it is the best thing for him to have a life where he will get all the attention he deserves :)

Tomorrow we take Velma and Cowboy to their new home. They will be staying together which is nice for them.

Big Girl had her x-rays today. She is in tough shape all around :( . She has very little sole between her coffin bone and the ground, and has extensive "ring bone" (arthritis) on both front feet, although more so on one side. She has very little hoof growth so far, but is on some really good supplements so hopefully that will change soon. Her heartbeat is elevated and irregular, and she will never be able to be ridden or worked again. It is painful for her to move, but Doc prescribed some new meds so we will see if that keeps her comfortable.

She needs lots of prayers for healing, but in the meantime we will give her as much time as she needs to get better, and she can spend her remaining time on this earth being a spoiled and much loved gentle giant. We want to give her all the love, time and happiness she deserves, and are hoping that with pain meds she will be comfortable enough to enjoy a few more years. She is the biggest sweetheart there is and so deserves some love and appreciation. (I still can't believe the people think I bought her for a riding horse. arghhhh). But she needed to be saved and that is why God sent her to us.

We got a call about 6 babies today. Getting ready to load up and head out early, when we received another update that the folks changed their minds and are going to try and keep them. You are on a never ending emotional roller coaster ride when you do this. The day we placed Phantom was a day when I questioned if I could keep doing this. It is so very hard to let them go after you have rehabbed them and put so much time into their healing. But if we don't move horse kids to good homes, we won't be able to keep saving more.

But it is hard when you see babies in situations where folks have not had training for critical care and you know the babies need it. It sounds crazy, but I know many of you will understand. The minute you get that message, text or phone call about babies that need help, your heart is invested. It doesn't matter that you haven't laid eyes upon them yet, or touched them or spent time with them. In that instance they become "your babies". That is what makes it possible to keep going through the craziness, the heart break and the non-stop never ending insanity that comes with this type of rescue. God hooks you up emotionally so you have what it takes to do whatever it takes. Then when you get that other call, it is a huge letdown. Especially knowing they need special care, but we can only do what we are allowed to do.

We want to thank everyone for being part of saving all of these lives. It means the whole world to each and every horse that we save, and although we can't save them all, we are grateful for all the lives we do save because of folks like you and your love and support.
