​Hi all,

Thank you for saving the Christmas kids. As always, there was a big wrench thrown into this rescue. As I was on my way, I received a message that I also had to save the STALLION. IF I didn't take him too, I couldn't save the mares.

Thankfully, we are set up for wild stallions so of course I said yes. Sadly his feet are horrific and he is very thin under his coat. He is exactly NOT what was described. He is much older than I was told, very thin and most likely needs dental work asap.

Mercedes update - Mercedes gave birth to a beautiful, perfectly formed, stillborn baby on the 15th. He was beyond perfect, Mercedes had no issues as he was not big like we were worried about. However in a devastating turn of events his umbilical cord was cinched around his flank during birth, which immediately cut off his blood supply, sending him straight into the Angel's arms.

Doc was here minutes after I called her, but he passed in the birth canal and was beyond resuscitation. (Note to folks. You cannot put pressure on that area of a newborn baby as it can kill them. One of the first things we learned years ago was to NEVER ever pick up a newborn baby under his legs.)

I had just picked up Mercedes at the vet the night before and both Mommy and Baby were doing great. Baby was moving and Mercedes was fine. I have no words and don't even know how to breathe even today.

THANK YOU for saving the girls and our unexpected boy. Princess left yesterday for her new home, and we are praying the weather clears so I can finally get these kids home to Nevada.

If you would like to help with Tonka's vetting (gelding, teeth floating, Coggins) or his vast feeding needs, it is much appreciated. God gives and He takes away. I have yet to understand why I have so many old timers that have had a life and why so many new littles are gone too soon, However, all I can do is pray and have faith, knowing someday I will have the answers.

THANK YOU for the baby gifts for our precious Noah. It breaks my heart knowing how much love is behind every blanket, halter etc. that was sent for him. I wish I could hug each and every one of you. It has been beyond devastating, especially as Mercedes' journey to health was so long and difficult.

Have a Merry Christmas and thank you for saving so many lives this year!

WIN (WILD HORSES IN NEED) is a 501c3 IRS EIN 55-0882407_

If there are ever funds left over from the cost of the rescue itself, the monies are used to feed, vet, care for and provide shelter and proper fencing for the animals once they are saved.

We have a very last minute call to action. I have 41 hours until I need to be sitting in the driveway to save these mares.
I was approached prior to today, and said "no". I simply don't have funds to do this rescue.
However, when I woke up this morning and looked at my phone, the 1st message was "Do Not Be Afraid". Minutes later I answered the phone and was asked once again to save these mares as they LITERALLY have no where else to go.
So I am once again going on faith. Although weather conditions are ugly, my trailer is now hooked up and ready to go.
I need to raise upwards of at least $4000 to take on these pregnant mares. It will literally cost $2,000 to pick them up, get them back here and get them vetted, then get them transported home to Nevada. (This is just the fee for a Coggins test and a Health Certificate.) The 3 of them are not only big beefy girls, they are also pregnant.
If they ended up in the wrong hands, the fact that they are so big and healthy, would make them prime candidates for a kill buyer.
They need good groceries and we all know the price of hay, feed, bedding, diesel, supplements and everything else needed to care for the horses has costs have risen exorbitantly, so have the prices for grain, diesel and everything else we need to save them.
IT'S UP TO YOU!
DO I say YES?
Do we save these beautiful girls and give them their Christmas Miracle? I am ready and willing to do what is needed, will you help save their lives??
Most of you might have seen posts about these horses. Chilly Pepper is starting at ground zero with our fundraiser. We have received zero dollars that were donated to other folks.
If you donated for these beautiful girls elsewhere I would contact the folks you donated to.

It's ALMOST "Go Time for Mercedes"
At least we think so, LOL!!!
She is actually starting to bag up. Doc said she is "getting ready". (Still could be weeks, but could be days). She is changing quickly, and has been "adjusting baby" where she wants her. She is showing lots of signs of prepping for labor.
HOWEVER, WE STILL NEED TO FINISH THE "BABY BASKET"
The following are goals to be finished and put in the basket BEFORE baby gets here. I NEED to finish paying off the vet bill prior to baby coming. We need grain for Mama, shavings, straw, fresh hay and Mare & Foal grain to make sure Mama has lots of milk,
The MINUTE she starts showing she is starting labor, I am calling DOC!!!
Mercedes and I have been through way too much and that baby looks huge. She is a Mama's girl and I want the best for her. I know you all do too.
Everything is going to be done in our power to have a happy healthy Mama & baby. So I want Doc there just in case!
We still don't have our hay yet, and we need to get lots of bedding for Mama and the little one. We are a frozen and icy mess and it is not the ideal time for a little tiny one to come in to this world. So I want her world to be warm and cozy.
I now have safe tires, so when I need to haul them home they will be in, and towed by safe vehicles. Thank you so much for that!
Please say a prayer and step up and help us get ready for our newest little one.
ON THE HOMEFRONT, we just brought in ANOTHER starvation case. You can't really see how poor his condition is, but he is much worse than Grandma Gladys. However, we are not taking off his blanket just to show how thin he is. You can get an idea from his pix from the rear and his neck when he is eating. Both he and Gladys are "in love" lol, and both need lots of good feed and lots of love and care. (Obviously this also costs the rescue to have someone on site and taking care of our special needs and permanent residents in NV until I can get back home.)
I know Doc will be a lot happier coming out in the middle of the night if she knows she is getting paid lol.
BABY BASKET GOODIES WANTED!
Hay in NV - will be $1500 for the 1st load
Goldendale Vet $1400+ (approx.)
Sparkles Vet bill - $325 (approx) initial bill I still haven't received

Thank you for all the love and support. Your loving kindness is why Mercedes has come this far. Let's "git 'er done" and be ready for this baby.
