 IT'S GO TIME AGAIN - Just got the call for a pregnant wild mare who is slated to ship tomorrow. I have to commit asap so we can keep her off the slaughter truck. Catcher called, and so did the shipper. I have AT LEAST 12 MORE BABIES AT THIS MOMENT - and more expected by the time I get there. However, I CANNOT say yes to saving these kids without raising enough money to pay back the emergency funds that were depleted with this last rescue. With the balances left for the unexpected repairs on the trucks and trailers, the last batch of hay and the previous vetting, even the emergency funds are depleted. Chilly Pepper cannot responsibly commit to saving more horses without having enough money to care for the horses we already have saved. I am sure if there are 12 babies now, by the time I get up there we will be looking at a much larger number. The catchers are out in full force trying to get as many rounded up as they can before winter. I realize the world as we once knew it is upside down. I am having to make decisions based on the reality of our current situation. I can only save horses I know I can provide and care for. I am hoping that y'all want them saved enough to skip a latte, or a night out, or that much loved pedicure. Times are tough, but these horses do not deserve to be slaughtered. More and more people are dumping horses and it seems like we are doing quite a bit of "hospice type care". Saving these animals and providing the love and care they so deserve for the short bit of time I often have with them is important. YOU decide how many I (we - together) can keep saving. CAN WE RAISE ENOUGH FUNDS TO SAVE THIS PREGNANT MARE AND ALL OF THE BABIES? I am praying so.  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HELPING US SAVE MORE LIVES, YOU CAN GO TO:

THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE AND SUPPORT AND FOR GETTING THESE "GRANDMA'S & INJURED BABIES" TO SAFETY9/15/2020  Thank you for your wonderful donation and all of the love and support. I wanted to take a couple minutes to stop and say "thank you" for your life-saving donation. I cannot begin to express my appreciation for your help saving these precious lives. This group is a hot mess. We have two babies who had huge chunks of their faces ripped away by "an adult horse?" (That is the info I was given.) The injuries are pretty horrific and we have 2 others with infected legs and another who was stepped on and can barely walk. So sadly, lots of injuries that need a lot of special care and medication. Grandma Sue is in with one of the babies and loving it. She is missing most all of her teeth, so is another "special needs" lady. It is so nice to watch her with the baby. They bring so much comfort to each other. Sadly Great Grandma Lilly most likely has very little time. She was down this morning and I was not sure if she would be able to get back up. Thankfully our prayer chain was answered and she is up again. SHE IS A VERY HAPPY GIRL THOUGH. We had her hoofers done, had her vetted yesterday and have given her every thing the vet could think of to help her get stronger. Her teeth are horrific, but Doc said "her legs are even worse", and that is not good. She is simply enjoying the loves and having food that she can actually eat. She is drinking and eating well, but there has been a tremendous amount of damage done to her poor body. I am afraid she will only be here for a short time, but at least she is not going to die scared and alone, but rather surrounded by love and having a full belly and no pain. She loves to cuddle, and can do so much longer than I can stand on my leg. She is obviously feeling very safe and is surrounded by other horses, but none can steal her feed. It is a gift to be able to spend her last days loving and caring for her. I hope God has His vengeance with the man who did this to her. :( Below, one of my favorite little "would have been a lead mare lol"  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HELPING US SAVE MORE LIVES, YOU CAN GO TO:

A HEARTBREAKING CALL FOR AN ABUSED, EMACIATED "GREAT GRANDMA". Lilly is a 35? year old mare who was on her way to a horrific end. Her feet are horrible, she can barely walk, she is starved beyond measure and her teeth are a nightmare. Yet even after being abused and neglected, she is still the sweetest thing on this earth. WILL YOU HELP ME HELP HER? You can clearly see by how uneven her teeth are that she has had no care, and has been slowly starving to death. I honestly don't know if we can offer her more than good food, comfort, and no pain, but I will do every possible thing I can to make the rest of her short life the best of her life. But I need your help to do that. ANOTHER HEARTBREAK - Grandma Sue is a wild, very old, very thin mare who does NOT deserve to be crammed into a crowded trailer and trampled on the way to the slaughter house. I honestly do not know if she will much time left either, but it should certainly be one where she is loved and cared for. I have AT LEAST 9 MORE BABIES coming, NOT INCLUDING the 4 we just got. So we need to vet 15 more kids on Monday, so I can hopefully head back to NV. The stock trailer is finally fixed, to the tune of $2500+, but we have to be safe when we haul this precious cargo. I realize the emergencies keep on coming, (believe me, I am emotionally and physically exhausted, especially because I am here alone), but these babies and these "old ladies" feel like their life is just as important as the other ones we saved. So PLEASE help me save them if you can. The Shipper is loading tomorrow, so I need to commit to "Grandma Sue" immediately, and let him know if you want to save her, and if I can take the babies. I have to raise enough funds to safely do so. If you want me to save these before I head back to NV, I need your help now! The babies have no where else to go. Every life matters, and I guess these kids are also part of the reason God kept me here, because if I had gone home, Grandma and Great Grandma would be facing a horrific ending, and we all know what that means. However, since I am still here, with your help, we can save them both. AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU to everyone who donated, shares the posts and lifts the much needed prayers. Together, we ARE making a difference! Dakota is hanging in there. Doc said his eye will most likely need to be removed when I get back home, but at least some of the pressure has been relieved and the horrible wound on his side is draining nicely. THANK YOU for helping him! Below, the photo that was sent of "Grandma Sue"  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HELPING US SAVE MORE LIVES, YOU CAN GO TO:

TODAY'S EMERGENCY INTAKE - THE REASON WHY I AM "STILL HERE"? A LIFE SAVING CALL FROM THE TRAPPER!9/6/2020  Meet "DAKOTA" - Chilly Pepper's newest critical care child. I had an emergency intake today. A 911 call from the Trapper to see if I wanted to help an injured colt. The decision had already been made to "destroy the colt", when the trapper heard "I was still in WA". Is Dakota the real reason I was stuck here for so long? I knew God had a reason, and if I had left for NV as planned, this beautiful yearling would be dead right now. I am so grateful for the call and the chance to save him. Dakota will most likely need his eye removed due to the amount of trauma. It is horribly injured and he is on pain meds and antibiotics. He will be vetted at the earliest opportunity, and sadly, his care will be spendy to say the least. God obviously kept me here for a reason, and it was clear to me that I was supposed to be here for Dakota, so of course I agreed. ( I was actually expecting a call for something like this, critically injured or ill. ) However, I am praying hard for a different outcome than we had with my beautiful "Miracle Girl". Dakota was wild, but is gentling up quickly as he seems to understand we are helping. Mama Mel and Cam rushed right over so we could get him vetted and some pain meds on board. Teamwork makes the dreams work! *So grateful for the amazing folks around me!* He also has a huge hard lump behind his right leg, which actually concerns me nearly as much as his eye. I am praying it is nothing too serious. At this point he is much more comfortable than when he arrived and is munching his hay and enjoying his pain meds. Please help this little guy if you can and say a prayer that the infection has not spread too far. Chilly Pepper was obviously not in a wonderful financial position to take on a baby with his needs, but he is here and he is staying with me. Again, this was a "faith decision". How could I not when it was so obvious that I was not going home on my schedule. I am so grateful to God for all the hiccups or this little man would not be here with me. When I get these calls, I never know what the injuries will look like or how badly they are hurt. You just get to say "yes or no", so I said "yes"! Please help me provide the care that he needs. Your love and support are SO APPRECIATED! Thank you to everyone who is helping us get the vehicles back on the road and the horses home safe! Below: The Pregnant mare y'all saved!! She came with a baby, but sadly it was not her baby. The filly has been adopted by some wonderful folks who are constantly stepping up to help me when I am up here. So again - a 3 life save!

URGENT - MORE HORSES NEED YOU TO HELP THEM STAY ALIVE, and as usual, their time has run out. We have a Mare and Foal Pair, (and Mama is bred back), so that is 3 lives to save!, PLUS... We have the mare above that I still need to pay for, (I simply couldn't wait to fund raise and had to commit on faith.) PLUS - MORE BABIES are coming from the trapper and the shipper! It's been a super rough week, and as usual we don't know for sure how many horses need us. One of the catchers had at least 3, and that is just for today. Shipper has ? The rescue has been hit all at once with the need for truck tires, (and it was imminent - one was ready to blow), transmission repair and brake work for the truck and wiring on the horse trailer braking system. After getting the transmission fixed, thanks to some amazing people out there, the hauler was on the way when the brakes started to malfunction. After checking both the truck and trailer, we are looking at another bill (not including tires or transmission) that will be anywhere from an expected bill of $1500 to $2000?? or more. (It was internal, brake pads are fine, but we still have to get the necessary repairs to actually have working brakes, and the stock trailer has some wiring that is old and sketchy ie. dangerous. I still can't get back to NV until we get the 2nd truck and trailer fixed. However, instead of being gone back to NV, I was here to treat one of the colts that came in with an injury. He is beautiful, but it took all of us to safely treat him without causing him unnecessary stress. He has certainly been through enough. I know there is a reason for the delays, and the babies and emergencies have not stopped. ONCE AGAIN, THE HORSES NEED YOU! HOWEVER, the transmission AND the new tires were covered by some amazing angels who donated specifically for that! THANK YOU ANGELS! That means we need another $1500 plus ? just to finish the brakes, front end repairs and wiring on the trailer. THEN, we still need funds to save these new kids and vet them, get them home etc. etc. IF YOU CAN HELP me save these babies and the mares, PLEASE DO SO! This has been a crazy 3 weeks and I am going to have to turn around and come back, but I know we can save these horses, IF you help make it happen! BELOW - The injured "Slide" stares longingly at what used to be the path to his home. It is so traumatic for these babies to be ripped away and stuffed into what must feel like prison. Help me save him, (and the rest of them), and give them the best life we can! Thank you as always for the love and support, and THANK YOU to my Angels who covered the cost of fixing the transmission and getting the much needed tires!
