 Quick Update on the Catcher's horses. Just got home from meeting with the Catcher. This is killing me. There is simply no way to save everyone. I am already physically ill from having to say yes or no. The only good news is that I have 5 days to raise the funds to save as many as we can. The goal is to raise at least $1500 for each horse. I have to be able to provide proper care and feed for them until they are adopted. For a mare and foal pair, $500 - bail and vetting for the pair $350 - hay for the month $200 - Foal Lac Pellets (Mare is emaciated) $125 - Mama and baby grain So after bail, vetting and basic feed for the 1st month, it costs $1175, and that does not include any medicine, special care, transport etc. The likelihood of having them for over several months is high, especially because this particular pair are in horrible shape and the baby has a very badly injured face. So $1500 won't even cover the cost for two months for this particular pair if baby needs stitches. I am hoping to pull at least 10 if not more. Thankfully I am supposed to have until the 25th to raise enough funds. Originally the deadline was today, but if we can pull at least 10, we have until the 25th. Please help me keep saying YES, to saving these lives.

Another EMERGENCY! Huge Dilemma - CATCHER Called - CLOCK IS TICKING! Who do we save - Who ships?9/20/2021  I Need Your Help Asap! We currently have 6 new babies, along with the other 12 horses and a draft named Tiny at camp, not to mention the horses in NV. (Tiny had to go to the emergency vet this morning!) Mario is still with us, but having issues getting up by himself. CATCHER just CALLED and I will be heading over TODAY so I can let him know who and how many orphans and/or horses we can save. There is nothing harder than walking up to a group of horses and choosing who lives or dies. I am literally physically sick. WE are the ONLY CHANCE for any of them to stay off the slaughter truck. I have nightmares about the horses I leave behind. It isn't fair, but if I don't go, NONE of them will avoid being shipped. I need funds to purchase, vet, transport, feed and care for every horse I pull. It is a terrifying time to take on more horses as Adoptions are lower than normal due to our efforts still being maliciously shut down. Adopters are still being contacted and told something is wrong with the horse, it has been adopted, it is dangerous etc. etc. I am running on FAITH, a broken heart and pure exhaustion. Faith that God will guide me and that my amazing Chilly Pepper Family will fight as hard as I do to save as many as we can!! Funds are extremely low and vet bills keep climbing. Doc is coming tomorrow for more coggins. The boys just got gelded. So it goes in rescue. Blood and guts and open wounds are the easy ones. I can handle those myself. However, I cannot do x-rays, blood tests, life saving Plasma etc. without a vet. Tiny is currently in the hospital. He is our latest rescue and he came in last night. We know he has neurological issues, as well as possible laminitis. He needs to remain in the hospital until the pain is controlled enough to take x-rays and make sure his coffin bones have not rotated beyond help. Please help me keep saying YES, to saving these lives.

My heart is shattered and the tears are pouring. My Beautiful Mia Moo, my ever precious little Maniac, is now in Heaven running and loving life pain free. Her little bones never developed and you cannot fix what isn't there (as Doc said). She had so much wrong, but I will post her story later. I have 4 babies as of right now, and more expected. Mario is in extremely critical shape and I am praying he makes it through the night. Both Docs are on other emergencies so he will be in Goldendale at 8 a.m. PLEASE pray for him. He is not only starved and was abandoned by his band at least 5 days ago, but he is literally being eaten alive by worms. The other 3 are hanging in there. I need more milk for these precious souls and as always, any and all help is greatly appreciated. We can all learn from my beloved Mia Moo. She lived life 110 miles an hour, almost as if she knew she had to experience a lifetime of fun and love in only a few months. I will be sending out a tribute to her later, but for now it is simply too raw. For the folks who sit home and whine about how they hurt or have issues, learn from Mia. She struggled from day 1, but she never pouted or whined. She rocked her life. She lived it to the fullest and went a thousand miles an hour and when she crashed she did it with the same intensity. I will explain how she told us her motto, but for now I will simply share it. LIVE YOUR DREAM! That is directly from Mia. OF COURSE there is once again No Time for me to even grieve....... All I wanted was to have some quiet time, but these new babies are here and they need my full attention. Sadly we are expecting more in the next few days. Please help me keep saying YES, to saving these lives. It was such a blessing to be able to save the entire family. You did that with your love and support. Please check out the New Adoption page! We have a new and improved page. I know folks enjoy sharing the horses and their progress with all of you. https://www.facebook.com/groups/543121366934903 If anyone wants to help, Supplies can be sent to Palomino C/O Melody LeBeau 1630 Pumphouse Rd Toppenish, WA 98948 or Donations can be made at: CashAp-$LauriArmstrong Venmo - @Lauri-Armstrong-2 Paypal-Palomino@chillypepper.org THANK YOU for everything we have received. ** This is the link to our NEW 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!

Another call from the catcher! Can we save more babies? It's "go time" again. One today and I was told there are up to 12 or more l need to be ready for. I have no idea if I will actually get one more, or bunches more. Little Miss Pepsi came in today. She is exhausted and was exhibiting some neurological issues, but I believe they are temporary. As you can clearly see from her picture she is exhausted, bewildered, sad and wondering what happened to her world and her family. Her neck was swollen when she got here, but it seems to be a little bit better after having her banamine. We need to order more milk, milk pellets and supplies in general. We gelded two stallions today and pulled Coggins on the new kids, so our vet bill at Harrah will be close to $2,000 again. (It was recently paid off, but that was for a minute.) Thank you to everyone who helped with our vet bill at Goldendale. It was reduced by close to a thousand, and then increased nearly that much again. We are running about $2,200, and I have to take Mia back tomorrow. The new mare Diamond had her blood drawn today, and she has improved tremendously already. Please help me keep saying YES, to saving these lives. It was such a blessing to be able to save the entire family. You did that with your love and support. Below see what you have done for FORD!

Another Urgent 911 - This mare has been starved nearly to death!! This beautiful soul needs emergency help! She is wild, which makes things trickier, but if she has a chance to live, it is with Chilly Pepper combined with some serious vet care. I am praying she is not pregnant, but no one ever really knows with the wilds. We still owe Goldendale Vet $2500+ dollars, and I need to get the "new family" vetted, the boys gelded, and Mia still needs x-rays. Our wonderful friend Janet has promised $250 towards Mia's x-rays, but we are far from being able to pay the existing vet bill and incur new ones. It is a very tough time for rescues everywhere. We did save the ENTIRE FAMILY, thanks to your beautiful hearts! PTL! Now it is time to get them vetted and ready for adoption. Please help me help this mare before it is too late!! There is a very good chance that she has permanent damage to her organs, or a worm load that could actually be deadly. I need to get her taken care of asap. She needs blood work.
