 UPDATE - We have 2 orphan foals safe at Mel's, and have enough money to save ONE of the 4. I am hoping the Pandemic is not the reason and that this will NOT be the first time we couldn't save the kids we are fundraising for. It takes roughly $3,000 to save the 3 remaining geldings. (Apparently they are closer to 4 years old.) This includes Bail, Vetting, Transportation, and that just gets them to safety. They still need care and feed until they are adopted, and I have to pay board on them once they are rescued until they are picked up. I am praying this will not be a situation where I need to choose who lives or who dies. I cannot "pick" one or two to save and leave the others to die. This has never happened before. I know things are tight and the world is upside down. I just wanted to let everyone know where we are. I was told if we are lucky we may have until Tuesday. It can change in a moment. If they are not saved they can be loaded at any time. We were asked to help save them, so that is what we are trying to do. Thank you everyone who donated to save the others. So much for a break.... (I apologize if you get this twice - having computer issues) UPDATE - So far we have 2 babies and have been able to raise enough money to save 1 out of the 4 geldings. We got a reprieve, and still have a couple days to raise funds for the last 3. I know I certainly don't want to have to pick which ones we save and who dies. TRAPPER AND SHIPPER CALLED TODAY! These 4 youngsters' need saved now! "TIME HAS RUN OUT". Once again I need to act on faith. We simply cannot let them ship to slaughter. They are babies, approximately 2 years old? (Sorry for the poor quality of the photos, but that was all I had.) I was notified that they will be shipping asap. On top of that there are orphan foals coming in tonight. Again, we are on the front line and have to save them now. Thank you for helping us continue saving lives. These horses and the babies need help now! Thank you.

Thank you so much for your wonderful love and support. Your donations have saved so many lives and make it possible to keep our "special needs" critters safe and happy. Y'all have made such a difference for so many innocent animals. I wanted to take a quick minute (while I had a chance before the next big emergency), to just stop and say "THANK YOU" for all you do! I realize I am always sending out "911"s, but that is what Chilly Pepper deals with. We never have time to calmly plan out our rescues. Time is ALWAYS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH, and I cannot thank you enough for always stepping up and making sure we can save these beautiful souls. Above is Destiny. Thanks to you, a lot of prayers, TLC and the magical French Clay, she has only the tiniest scar! Big hugs and appreciation!

MOM & BABY are SAFE! They are in a safe, temporary place while their custom facility is being finished. Pick up should be in about 10 days. Our AC (adoption coordinator) received a call from a wonderful and very "horsey" family that was looking for a mare & foal. God blessed this pair with our amazing donors and their wonderful new home. A far cry from Mama and baby being ripped apart n Mom being brutally slaughtered. THANK YOU FOR SAVING THEM.  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HELPING US SAVE MORE LIVES, YOU CAN GO TO:

 Another phone call - ANOTHER 911. Shipper called and there are babies on the feedlot and more coming this week.(?) We need to get them asap or it will be too late. I am packing the trailer tonight and heading out in the morning. WILL YOU HELP ME SAVE THEIR LIVES? As I write this my heart is broken into a million pieces. Instead of Batman heading to his new home, I had to bury him. He needed surgery for his inguinal hernia. During the surgery he ruptured, and had to be euthanized. I can't hardly breathe, but Batman would want us to keep saving as many lives as we can. He himself was one of our rescues that y'all helped save. PLEASE HELP ME HONOR HIM BY SAVING THESE LIVES! As usual, there is no time to grieve, but we are the only chance these new babies have, so I have to stop the tears and focus on saving them. Please donate if you can - we need transport funds, bail, money for vetting and milk and supplies. Milk and medicines have gone up substantially with the whole virus situation and we are getting hit where it hurts. We need to buy hay. No matter what is going on in the world, rescue never stops. We need your help now to save these lives. (From the information I received, there are more expected this week.)  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HELPING US SAVE MORE LIVES, YOU CAN GO TO:

YOU DID IT! You saved 41 babies, a gorgeous stallion, 1 pregnant mare, a possibly pregnant mare and Grandpa Gus, the aged Mule. (Above are some fun, random pix, of some of the babies you saved; yes, there are probably a couple duplicates lol.) We had a heck of a time matching up their paperwork. Some of them are identical except for a few of the hairs on their stars. THANK YOU to each and every one who donated, prayed or shared the information. Most of the babies have already been adopted, and we actually have folks waiting for the more to come in. (Something we seldom see.) We still have several needing surgery or specialized care and we will be adopting them out once they are deemed healthy enough to do so. Our adoption teamed rocked these latest rescues. Kari Robie, Emily Nes, Mama Mel, Danny & Danniell Dustin, and our Adoption Coordinator Helen Ardire, all came through to get these babies to their new homes. We incurred the rescue, vetting costs etc., but everyone working together is what makes this work. So THANK YOU TEAM! We could not do it alone. However, today we need help back at the rescue in NV ! (We also need help for the Hernia surgery on one of our babies in Idaho.) Big Matt, Texas Triumph, Tatiana and BatMan all need your help with some urgent veterinary care on Wednesday. Our colt in Idaho has his surgery the next day. He has an inguinal hernia? We have been working on the drafts' feet, but they are both having severe pain issues when it comes to lifting their back feet. Both of them have issues with their rear legs, Big Matt's hocks are a mess, and we are still trying to diagnose all the issues Tex is having. If Tex stands still very long his back legs start shaking and he has trouble standing on them. (This was one of the reasons he needed to be shipped straight to slaughter and was on the "do not adopt or rescue list.") So after talking with Doc, they will be coming out on Wednesday and we will be getting a much better handle on both of the big guys' feet. We were told very clearly when we rescued Big Matt that the issues with his hocks combined with his weight would be a "thing" when he needed hoof care. We have been working on his feet all along, but simply need to lay him down fully to really assess and do the complete job. (The issue with Big Matt's hocks, feet etc. was discussed as to whether it was a reason not to keep him alive. Since he LOVES his life, the answer is obviously YES.) Batman is getting ready to go to his new home. Wahh, sucks for me, but wonderful for him and his new family. However, he has recently developed a hernia that is continuing to get larger and larger and Doc thinks his intestines are coming out. So he needs surgery asap! We are looking at close to $1500? on Wednesday to get Batman his surgery and the other 3 taken care of. Special needs children are not cheap, but they have all been through so much they deserve whatever care they need to have the best possible "rest of their lives". So please help us get them the care they need on Wednesday. If you would like to donate directly to the vet, please call Zimmerman Veterinary Clinic at 775-623-0981. You can donate directly for milk or Texas Triumph's grain at J & J Feed at 775-625-1200. Texas Triumph cannot eat anything but mash. He has damage to the lower muscle(s) in his esophagus. Let me tell you that boy can eat. He has lots of issues but is such a happy camper. Vet still says to be ready to walk out there someday and find him "aspirated with a possibly deadly case of pneumonia". So we love him every day we have him. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS DONATED MILK, WIPES & VASELINE! WE SO APPRECIATE IT, but there is no name showing who sent it when it is delivered!!
