Our coffers are tapped due to the babies enjoying their milk products and all the horses we have saved so far. We need help to pull these foals.

Please help us save these babies. We are willing to do the work, but simply don't have the funds we need.

Thank you for helping us save these babies.!!

UPDATED EXPENSES & NEWS :)

To date, since being home, we have had to purchase 12 bags of Foal Lac Pellets, more Kids Milk and about 16 bags of grain, costing roughly $2000 + We also purchased $1500 of wonderful grass hay. So your dollars are being very well spent and much appreciated by the horses. In addition, we spent over $830 at the vets today and that is not including facility fees. That was for gelding 3 horses, performing minor surgery on 2nd Chances, and to purchase the medicines that we need for the rescue.

So once again, funds are getting tight as we care for these beautiful animals.
To date we have placed 5 of the 13 babies from this last trip, and have some wonderful homes lining up. However there are always more coming in.

I realize and am so sorry that I am way behind on "thank you's ". Please be patient. We so appreciate every single dollar y'all are donating. Right now there is no internet at the new place (or running water in the "palace" lol), but we are doing our best to get it ready so it will be the best possible facility for our NV operation.

We need to get the nursery ready for our critical care unit in the very near future.
We have been called once again to pick up more horses but the funds are simply not there. It broke my heart, but with the high costs to not only rent facilities and a team to handle blood work, plus purchase more wild horse panels and the cost to get the horses, purchase them and bring them home, then geld and feed them, we simply can't do it at this point.

We told them we would be on board for more horses, but have to safely place these kids first. I am still haunted by the band I could not bring back. Every time I see one of their babies it breaks my heart all over again.

But part of being a rescue is being responsible even when your heart is breaking - you simply cannot take on more than you can provide for.

There are multiple empty lots behind our property. The price is $5000 for 3 acres, and Matt and I are hoping to be able to purchase more of them in the future. If we could acquire more land to use for the rescue, it would make it possible to help more horse kids. It would not be a long term facility, but if we had room and funds available we could pull more horses from slaughter and have enough time to find them homes.

The number of babies expected this next year is staggering, and they also need room to run and play, once they are rehabbed and healthy.

We were unable to load the other 3 stallions for their gelding this morning. Now that everyone is back together on the same property, testosterone is high and they are really wound up at times, especially after being separated from the mares.

All are doing well and gaining weight, but we simply do not have the materials ie. proper gates etc.and enough panels to set up a safe area for loading the super wild kids.
After sorting wild horses for nearly 15 years, if there is one thing you learn it is not to force a bad or dangerous situation. Anyone who wants to play the "ego game" and force it will end up hurt or hurting the horses. Better to get proper equipment and keep everyone healthy and in one piece.

The safety of everyone involved has to be your priority. So we called it on the other three and will have to get the proper materials so we can safely load them.

I was heartbroken to find that it was actually a bullet which caused the injury to 2nd Chances. She was shot in the head and it broke her jaw. We were hoping it was accidental, but unfortunately it was a malicious and horrific act by an evil person.

So she and I will need to spend some time for emergency "training/bonding" so I can once again have hands on her to treat her injuries. We are on our way home but have to stop and pick up some meds and supplies so I can treat her. Again, this is where it would be nice and safer to have a squeeze chute when giving shots to a wild horse.

Matt and I want to send our all love and appreciation to all of you who are part of saving these horses. We couldn't do it without you.

GREAT NEWS FOR THE 65 WILD we started with. We only have 9 more to place after Matt takes the next 6 to their new homes in Idaho. Y'all did it!!!! We need approximately $2300 for transport fees and roughly ? $1500 minimum for Coggins, hoof trims, shots and worming. The deal with the folks who are working with us and finding them homes is that if we get them there, they will take them on until everyone is placed. Kimberly is amazing and ALL of the previous horses are in great homes. I will be SO relieved when they are placed and we can concentrate on the rest of these kids. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

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.

CLOSE TO $4,000 +/- IS NEEDED for emergency repairs to fix the rescue truck. - (We have spent over $1000 so far, and now the other bank of injectors is needing replaced prior to Matt driving one more mile.)


Matt is stuck waiting for the truck to be repaired, and as usual, God sent us an Angel. His name is Larry, and the picture above is his place and the horses are happy and enjoying their "break".


As we deal with the frustrations of old equipment and trying to save lives, I have to once again be grateful. Our angels watched over us again and the truck started having issues about 10 miles from the shop, as opposed to Matt being stuck out in the middle of nowhere with the horses.


I paid for our "rescue truck" personally, with my own funds, but have designated it to the rescue and for rescue use only, pretty much since the rescue started. It has been our "rescue" truck since the very beginning, and we have put well over 100,000 miles on it saving babies, big kids and a few other assorted critters.


While y'all are the reason we have been able to do what we do, without that truck none of this would have happened. Unfortunately it has 200,000 miles + on it now, so we will be needing to raise funds for a new truck in the future. However, everything is checking solid with the exception of needing the new injectors, and I am happy to say that we did get about 100,000 miles on most of them. (We did have to replace a couple of them last year, but they are not the ones that failed like I thought.)

So once again, the horses and the rescue need help. Things are going well here with the horse kids that are here. We have placed 5 of the babies we brought home and three more, possibly four, should be heading to their new homes in the next week or so. The gelding of the 6 stallions has been scheduled and once we get through this, we will continue saving lives and doing what we do.


Thanks to all of you, we have been blessed to be able to save 32 babies, 11 adult wild horses, the Percheron Big Girl, two miniatures, and we are receiving a Jenny this coming week. So because of the love and support our "rescue family" has shown us, we have been able to save all those lives AND help place over 20 wild horse kids in safe and loving homes. So thank you for saving those lives :).

2nd Chances says "thank you". She is healing and getting much better. We still have a foreign object that is gradually coming out, but her infection is gone and she is feeling so much better and actually gaining weight. We are treating her and expect her to heal completely.
Thank you everyone who has stepped us to help us keep these horses out of the slaughter pipeline. I am attaching a link to a youtube video that some of you might or might not want to see. It is an interview with a kill buyer and this is one of the reasons that we fight so hard for these horses. It is extremely sad and heartbreaking as he talks about the horrible things the horses go through.

I am only attaching the link for folks who want to understand a bit more about what drives us to fight so hard for these horses and to keep updating and fundraising. I really hate fundraising, but knowing what I know, I can't stop trying to do what God puts in front of me. I truly believe this is His plan and that is why He blesses us.

So if you get frustrated by the constant need for fundraising, as I definitely do, please take the time to watch these videos and understand what is going on every single day. It seems like every time I am ready to quit, God sends me a reminder of what is really happening.

The reality of horse slaughter today is horrific, so I apologize for the ugliness of the links, but I know there are folks who will want and need to know the reality. If you are not comfortable, please just ignore them.

We placed 5 or the orphans in absolutely amazing homes, and all are thriving. We are so grateful for the wonderful homes.
Right now the monthly hay bill is approximately $ 2,000
Foal Lac Powder and Foal Lac Pellets & Baby Munchies (approx) $ 2,000
Total feed $ 4,000 per month
Total of 16 adult rescued horses
(including CA facility)
Total of 10 babies, (2 with mom)
(including CA facility)
(This does NOT include the additional 5 horses we have been asked to save.)

We still have to get the stallions gelded for approximately $1000 also.

We are not planning on maintaining these types of numbers for any substantial amount of time. However we are still helping cover the original 65 and are down to about 18? and ALL of them have expected homes at this time. We are also looking at substantial transportation costs in this whole project.

However, we have been asked to step up and help keep another 5 bachelors out of the slaughter pipeline. I am hoping folks stay on board and help us continue this life saving work. You guys have rocked it so much it brings tears to my eyes.

Matt is currently in Idaho setting up catch and loading panels for the horses we placed. They needed some help loading and sorting the wild kids as they head to their amazing new homes. Then we will be able to take 6 more (of the last few original 65) up to Kim's and she will continue to help us find safe homes for these horse kids. It takes a lot more work to home the wild adults and we are so thankful she has stepped up to find these amazing homes.
We can continue to save the moms and families as well as the babies once we get these big kids placed. Unfortunately, it will depend on how many people want to be part of the rescues in an ongoing manner.

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.
