CHILLY PEPPER UPDATE - Starved Stallions & Orphan Adoptions

8/24/2017

0 Comments

Meet Walker, a Yakama stallion saved from slaughter. As you can see, he is in desperate need of groceries. He is in the worst shape of the 7 we picked up, but they are all in extremely poor condition. However, when you think of his alternate destination, slaughter would have been his destiny.

We have some great news on the baby front. We have 5 scheduled adoptions for babies heading to their new homes in California. This will help our "milk load" tremendously, and leave only 10 orphans vs. the 15 we have now.

We also have potential homes for 7 of the younger stallions, AFTER they are gelded. Right now we really need to raise funds to accomplish that. Then they will be off the Chilly Pepper books for good. :)

Until we geld and place more horses, I have to say "no", to anything but babies, and that is a horrific thought. We also had a lady who was trying to sponsor the gelding of these 14 stallions, but her funding fell through.

So we have been taking some serious hits in the financial area, but I know that God will provide as this is His rescue.

Our little man Sky seems to be heading towards darkness, as he is losing much of his vision. We are not sure how much he has lost so far, but he is obviously having severe problems. We suspected as much weeks ago, but he has unfortunately proven it to be a certainty. We just don't know if he will keep any of his sight. But he is a sweetheart.

When we picked up the last batch of horses, we had some pledges for substantial donations. Of course you never count the money before you have it, but you cannot help but consider the possibility of what can be done with it. We have amazing and very reliable folks who donate, but life does happen. Whether it is a change of heart, financial situation, or other life emergency, plans do change. Unfortunately some of the donations promised in regards to the stallions and the orphans did not arrive.

I received a note stating something to the effect of living in an "emergency" all the time is not good. I have to say I totally agree. However, that being said, Chilly Pepper is not a "normal" rescue. We DO NOT ever search out horses to save. By that I mean we do not attend auctions, go to kill pens etc. to try and save horses. Every single horse we save comes via an emergency phone call, and yes, the highest percentages are true emergencies.

When I get the call for the Yakama horses, I am the ONLY one getting that call. If I say no, I cannot get them, they go straight to slaughter. They do not go to auction and have a chance to get bid on. They are considered "organic" and are in great demand due to the lack of drugs. So that is always an emergency as I have hours at the most to say yes or no to saving them, and then have to be on the road, usually in a matter of hours.

The first 3 months of this year that we spent in South Dakota were part of one of those "emergencies". I was the only one who was available and qualified to safely sort the 800+ horses at ISPMB. In reality, there are very few folks with those skills, and I had to step up for those horses. One of the rescues who were thinking about getting involved told Elaine "we need more than just a girl to sort those horses". But the old, crippled girl "got 'er done", with the help of her half crippled hubby and some other folks. So we pretty much do what God puts in front of us, and it is usually always at the last minute and somewhat crazy.

Folks talk about our "organization" and it always makes me smile. We are part of LRTC, our parent 501c3, but when it comes to raising money and doing what we do, "Matt and I" are it. Chilly Pepper is myself, and my hubby along side of me. What makes it great is the extended family, who are you, the folks reading this email. So again, THANK YOU for helping.

I am hoping we can raise funds asap to get these stallions gelded and moved out of here. Right now we are going through hay like water and once they are gelded we have potential homes for at least 7 of them.

So please help if you can. It will cost roughly $300 +/- for gelding, vaccinations and prepping them for their new homes. We really would like to get them settled soon, so any help you can give is much appreciated.

The babies are all improving (except for Sky's vision), so once again YOU DID IT! You have made it possible to save so many lives, but the mission isn't finished until they are safely placed and transported to their new homes.

Thank you for helping us rehab and re-home these stallions. As you can see from Walker's picture, he has been through more than any horse should go through.
Thank you for being part of the Chilly Pepper family and saving so many lives!

CHILLY PEPPER - URGENT & IMMEDIATE SITUATION ....... HELP NEEDED IF YOU CAN

8/3/2017

Wow - no time to enjoy our successes.

Matt called me an hour ago.

Hi ya'll, We have a little emergency at Chilly Pepper.

Matt is up delivering the 5 mares in Northern Idaho, and the transmission in the Chevy just froze. He nearly wrecked, but thanks to our Angels was able to keep enough control not to. There have been absolutely no issues with the transmission, so I guess this was an all or nothing, and now we have nothing.

However, we are looking at a minimum of $7,000+ for a new transmission. You always have to wonder - do I put more money into an old truck?

Well, we have zero money in the budget to purchase a new one, and she is running perfectly. The transmission has over 270,000 miles on her which isn't too bad. So when you compare $7000 - $8000 vs $30,000+ for an unknown vehicle it seems to make sense to go with what you know.
__
So unfortunately I have to throw this out there and see if anyone wants to help us stay on the road and keep getting these horses where they need to go.

This was my personal truck that I paid for out of my pocket, but she has been dedicated 100% for rescue use for years now. Nearly 200,000 of those miles are rescue, so she has worked really hard.
▪     Please SHARE far and wide if you can. Thank You! *

The reason I am thanking God is that no one was injured and Matt and the horses are ok. Once again a less than optimal incident and yet no injuries to us or anyone else.
▪     I can say that I am truly sorry that I need to put out this update. * But he is literally stuck once again. Thanking God for US Rider insurance :)

THANK YOU for being part of this amazing journey and for saving so many horses lives. We so appreciate you and THANK YOU for being part of the Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang Family.

GOD BLESS!

WE DID IT - ANOTHER MIRACLE AT CHILLY PEPPER - 51 MORE LIVES Y'ALL HAVE SAVED

8/3/2017

FIFTY ONE more lives saved!

What started out as a 30 something rescue, turned into a total of 51 mustangs, due to the 18 stallions and the 7 orphans - (Not 5 lol) . By the time we arrived to pick up the last minute orphans, there were 7 instead of the 5 we were called for. But that seems to be the norm.

We have several babies with some injuries to their legs, which will need some pretty intensive care. All of them should be fine hopefully.

Upon arriving back in NV, we also picked up another orphan from our "foal partner - Anna Orchard", who is in pretty rough shape. Thankfully she was able to get her (of course with proper authority) and care for her while we were out of town. She is shown below with her buddy Tia (aka Trailer).

Upon getting back from WA we noticed that "Tia" was not thriving and needed to be pulled immediately. Tia was with Double J whom everyone assumed was her mama. (Our Double J & Trailer duo) However, once DJ started getting her groceries it was very obvious that she was extremely pregnant and way too far along to have a baby this young. Sadly, DJ seemed not to care whatsoever when we pulled the baby, and both of them are doing much better with receiving the appropriate groceries. I was actually really upset with the condition Tia was in. Poor DJ simply could not supply the milk that Tia needed and have a chance to grow a healthy baby.

So now "Princess Felina" has a new best friend and everyone is getting the much needed groceries so they can thrive and be happy.

Matt is out delivering 5 of the mares to their new homes, and bringing back another of the 8 young stallions for our gelding party.

I have to say I cannot believe how amazing y'all were in coming up with the money to save the extra stallions and then the 7 orphans on top of that. So we were able to get everyone vetted and bring them home. Now comes the fun part, ie. gelding, feeding and vetting them all so they can get to their new homes. We need to get this done asap as we are expecting another phone call in the next week or so. Hopefully it doesn't come sooner.

In addition, now we need to cover the costs of feeding a total of 12 orphaned babies. Thankfully the bigger ones only need the pellets and the special feed. As you can see in the picture, Tia and Princess Felina are seriously in need of some extra groceries.

So once again, TOGETHER and by the Grace of God, we have achieved another true miracle.

We will try to get more pictures of these kids on the website, but I have simply not had time to get the info to my amazing Emily so she can get it up there.

If you can help make up the budget for the care of the extra horses or want to help with gelding, feeding the kids or taking care of the babies, it is very much appreciated. I have to say I dread hearing my phone ring lol. Because that next call will come in soon. I so do not want to have to say "no, send the big kids to slaughter and we will take the babies". But it again will all depend on the space available and the funds we have to work with. I was actually ill on the way to WA last time fearing I would fail our hope to "LEAVE NO HORSE BEHIND". But y'all saved every last one!!

THANK YOU for being part of this amazing journey and for saving so many horses lives. We so appreciate you and THANK YOU for being part of the Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang Family.

GOD BLESS!
