ANOTHER 911 - CATCHER CALLED - WILL YOU SAVE MORE BABIES? MORE HEARTBREAK AND BEAUTIFUL LIVES SAVED!5/28/2021  Y'ALL SAVED 9 BEAUTIFUL BABIES!!! THANK YOU! CATCHER CALLED - Can we take horses Sunday? I have 48 hours to let him know if we can take them. I know folks are stretched thin, but it is in your hands. I will do the work if we have the funds. Sadly, Little Warrior came in with excruciating and deadly injuries from a coyote attack. Although it breaks my heart to lose them, I am grateful I could manage his pain, and give him a chance. Sadly Doc said his joint was septic and with the additional injuries he simply had no chance. I held him in my arms and we set our Little Warrior free. He fought and escaped the coyote, and also fought to live. I would have given anything to be able to save him. Seems like the tears just don't stop. I know the pictures are hard to look at, but imagine actually having to take care of them. Cleaning them is so hard. It is not only totally gross, but HAS to be done and is painful for the babies, even with pain medication. I just wanted y'all to know how badly he really was injured and have a tiny picture of what rescues deal with. Our beautiful little Caramel Cookie had no chance either. Her ankle was NOT FUSED and I can't even imagine the pain she was in. All that weight on that broken, shifting foot. Then add the injuries to her back leg. You could literally feel the pain leaving as she was sedated and then set free. EVEN KNOWING IT WAS THE RIGHT THING, MY HEART IS STILL ONCE AGAIN SHATTERED! The worst part is knowing someone deliberately left her like that. It is killing me to have to clean up the mess left by uncaring owners and that I have to make the decisions they should have. However, I know God is putting them in front of me so they do get taken care of. So as long as we can afford to keep doing the work, I will continue to fight for these precious souls. Even as I am once again reeling from the loss, I have 8 babies, 3 of which are struggling to survive, and Chica here to take care of. Now I am standing by for more on Sunday, and it is just starting. PLEASE HELP MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO SAY YES! We so appreciate ALL YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT! There are more babies coming and it looks like it is going to be a really busy year. I cannot do this without you. Please say a prayer and let's keep saving lives! It's up to you!

QUICK UPDATE - 9 OR 10 BABIES ARRIVING TONIGHT OR TOMORROW - ANOTHER HUMANE EUTHANASIA ??????5/23/2021  BABY UPDATE - I will be getting 9 or 10 either late tonight or tomorrow. I am grateful the babies had a few more days with their Mama's, and at the same time my heart breaks for what is happening today. MEET CARAMEL COOKIE. This beautiful girl is killing me. She was horrendously injured. As you can see her face was clearly broken, and her front left ankle/leg was also clearly broken and appears to have fused. Her rear leg is a hot mess, and she is THE SWEETEST little filly you could ever meet. Her little lungs are very congested and yet she has more heart and "want to be here" than most healthy horses have. This morning, much to my surprise, she was running and bucking!! This little girl has heart. I need to get her to the vet and get x rays. I know her life will not be long, but I would love to give her a chance if the vet thinks she could have any amount of quality time. OUR BEAUTIFUL CHICA is doing very well. Her leg is improving and we are making baby steps in alleviating her belief that she will be beaten and hurt every single time someone approaches. We so appreciate ALL YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT! There are more babies coming and it looks like it is going to be a really busy year. I cannot do this without you. Please say a prayer and let's keep saving lives! It's up to you! We finally are caught up on the vet bills, THANKS TO Y'ALL! However, I have to call Doc when these babies come in and *I need to take Caramel Cookie in to Goldendale Vet Clinic for X-rays to make sure it has fused and to see what is the best course of treatment for her.* If you would like to HELP WITH upcoming VET COSTS, Harrah Veterinary 509 848-2943 Goldendale Vet Clinic - 509 773-0369 If you would like to order FOAL LAC & send milk, (Or baby wipes, vaseline, gloves, Foal Response, Foal Lac Pellets, syringes, Probios etc.) Send to CHILLY PEPPER, C/O MELODY LEBEAU 1630 Pumphouse Rd Toppenish, WA 98948 509-985-8214 CashAp-$LauriArmstrong Venmo - @Lauri-Armstrong-2 Paypal-Palomino@chillypepper.org THANK YOU for everything we have received. ** 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!

NOT EVEN TIME TO GRIEVE the loss of my little Jackpot. It's GO TIME! THIS MORNING'S CALL- ANOTHER 8 (YES EIGHT) BABIES NEED US TO SAVE THEM. WILL YOU HELP ME DO THAT? Thank you SO MUCH for helping with these rescues. We have almost enough to pay off one of the smaller vet bills or to buy supplies. Like everything, the ENTIRE costs of rescue, fuel, bail, medical supplies, milk, etc. have gone up substantially. I have a couple of days to let him know if I will be able to afford to save the babies. That means vet bills paid (or hopefully mostly paid), and much needed milk & supplies purchased and restocked. THERE ARE MORE COMING AFTER THE 1ST GROUP! Let's save these beautiful lives! Off to sterilize the nursery and be ready for the new ones if we can afford to save them. Quick update - The mare's leg was much worse than I was told, although it wasn't too surprising after seeing it. She is the ONLY horse out of 1000's that I have ever seen "AIM" when she kicks. I know that is only because of prior handling and her fear. She has not one mean bone in her body. It's pretty clear it had to be painful when I was treating her. She is such a nice, although terrified, mare.

MIRACLES & HEARTBREAK. BADLY INJURED, PREGNANT MARE! & A STALLION WITH A BROKEN LEG NEED US NOW!5/13/2021  THE NEED IS ENDLESS, while funds are not! _My heart is once again in a million pieces. Doc was just here and we had to set Jackpot free from his suffering. He fought so hard! "Bart", the beautiful stallion, is also at peace. When he ran his leg would flop around. He was suffering horribly and now he is finally pain free in Heaven! Again, I acted on sheer Faith as I still need to pay for him etc. I know you would want me to end his suffering. This has been the most horrible rescue I have ever been on. Whatever it is that is out there has taken a huge toll on these precious lives. _26 babies total, 2 lost to internal injuries they came in with. 6 lost, (including Jackpot) at our various ICU nurseries to a deadly virus. So far none of the tests are showing exactly what it is. There were thoughts it could be Salmonella, but tests on one of the babies showed no. However, it did show an unknown pathogen. There have been outbreaks of Salmonella in 6 states, and tests are still being run to find out the exact issue. These newborn or week old babies have zero to fight with._ In spite of being under CONSTANT vet care, receiving fluids, tube feedings, 2 shots a day and oral meds twice a day, there was nothing else we could do. My team & I are beyond devastated. Whatever it is, the babies will be playing, running, eating and looking like the picture of health. Sometimes as soon as 2 days later they are gone. I had to stop my update and take care of the stallion & the injured mare Chica. I am running on complete faith, as we still owe $3,000 for the balance of the emergency visits. I HAVE to pay them right away. We are out of pretty much everything, and have already been notified to expect LOTS more babies. Supplies were wiped out with the 26. It is amazing how much you go through when you have sick and dying babies. I am praising God for the ones who are still here and who made it. I kept asking WHY, WHY ARE WE GOING THROUGH THIS??? Well, when I was quiet, God answered. EVERY SINGLE BABY THAT DIED would have died an agonizing death out on the range. Most likely they would have been eaten by coyotes WHILE they lay suffering, scared, alone and waiting to die. So I am TRULY GRATEFUL, even though I can't breathe. It is a gift to be able to help these little ones. A very painful and excruciating gift, but a gift none the less. I am also running on faith because I know how tight things are for folks. However, I simply cannot take on babies and lives if I cannot take care of them. So I am having faith that God will provide and my Chilly Pepper Family wants to KEEP SAVING LIVES!
