  ABOVE - How beautiful and precious am I? Please help Mom save me in honor of my brother Christmas!! I begin this update with heartbreaking news for those of you who haven't heard, I had to say goodbye to Baby Christmas. He fought so long and hard, and was improving so much. Sadly we found out that the infection was so bad for so long that it damaged the inside of his neck beyond repair. His wounds were so severe there was simply no way to save him. I loved that little boy beyond measure, and he loved his Mom. Thankfully he passed peacefully, surrounded by love after days of eating his munchies and hangin' out with Mom. THANK YOU to everyone who stepped up for this beautiful soul. NOW MEET DANDELION. She shared the same daddy as Christmas, a gorgeous stallion named Black Jack.. So it's almost like we still have part of him. Now when the tears stream down my face from the agony of losing Christmas, my beautiful Dandelion seems to hug me. She was also attacked by most likely the same predator as her brother. She has horribly infected wounds that need flushed and cleaned several times a day, as well as needing 4 injections a day. We are praying once again that we get a miracle. Thankfully her prognosis, although a bit guarded, is extremely more positive than Baby Christmas' was. Of course we are still paying off vet bills for Christmas and Skipper, as well as 2 of the Sad 7 etc. etc. THANK YOU to my angels who sent payment directly to our account at the vet, or donations to us directly. You are amazing and so appreciated. It's time to stock up the barn with hay for the winter. We are currently in the middle of another ongoing rescue. We will share more when the horse is safe. We need to save him (them?), vet him and get him back home. (So glad the roads down south are not covered in ice and snow.) We so appreciate the love and support. With 4 milk babies going through about $600 worth of milk powder a week, and 30 equine here at the rescue (most of them special needs), it costs a pretty penny to do what we do.

  A MIRACLE THAT BABY CHRISTMAS is STILL WITH US AND CONTINUING TO FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE. Baby Christmas was apparently attacked by Coyotes on the range. Luckily, his Mama and the band protected him and fought them off. However, he had already received serious, life threatening injuries that may still lead to his death. :( Sadly, he remained on the range for another 5? or so days after the attack, which allowed the infection to rage through his body. Issues with the quality of the Colostrum he received from his sweet Mama, combined with the lengthy stretch of time before treatment while being so injured, may still cause him to lose his life. He was unable to stand when he was brought in, and still cannot stand up by himself. He was in extremely poor condition, being close to emaciated under all that hair, extremely dehydrated, and numerous bites and punctures that had sealed over, locking the infection inside him. We have been at the emergency vet for 4 days, and he has a 50/50 chance of survival. The last blood work showed that his body was going Septic. We have since started him on different antibiotics, and he is now receiving 4 injections a day. He has so much infection draining out of his body, and is also having issues with his umbilical cord. At this point urine is leaking out, but he would not have a chance at surviving surgery. So we have been using alternate methods to try and treat that issue, although it looks like he will need surgery for that if he survives and after he becomes strong enough. This precious little man is a fighter. He definitely wants to be here, and he is drinking his milk like a champ. He is just learning about munchies, and every indication from him is that he wants to be here and plans on staying. Whether his body can cash the checks his spirit is writing is another story. We need lots and lots of prayers. The only reason he is still with us today is that so many folks are praying. We and our Docs are doing every thing possible and then some to help him survive, but it is truly in God's hands. Our bills are piling up. We want to thank American Wild Horse Campaign for raising funds and paying the $850 for the two bags of life saving Plasma he received. However, with Skipper''s Vet bill (gelding, x rays and those nasty ski's - hooves he had removed) combined with the ongoing bills from Baby Christmas, it is really going to drain the coffers. We still have other stallions with horrific feet and starvation cases from the Sad 7 to take care of, so any help with the vet bill, Milk Powder, Farrier expenses etc. etc. etc. is very much appreciated. I will continue the 24/7 care with Baby Christmas until he no longer chooses to fight. However, I do not see him quitting if he has any choice. Please pray for a successful outcome. (He also cannot use his front leg.) Our beloved Baby Christmas is definitely a hot mess. If you want to donate directly to our vet, here is the information.

BABY CHRISTMAS is fighting for his life. Another 911 Call. Walking into my physical therapy appointment I heard the phone. It was Mo, and she was calling about an orphan foal who was down and had spent the night cold and frozen in the snow. He had a leg injury and was unable to rise. So that was the end of my appointment. I called Matt and asked him to go with me and off we went. Baby Christmas is in horrific shape. He was apparently attacked days ago by a coyote or a cat. He has very infected puncture wounds on both sides of his neck. He is leaking fluids from his nostrils, which may be indicative of an internal puncture. (At this time the risk of scoping would be too dangerous.) He is on antibiotics for this and the other injuries. He was extremely dehydrated, which shows he has not been nursing for some time. When these babies are injured and have infections raging through their bodies, they can appear to be nursing and not actually be intaking fluids. Christmas was crashing when we arrived at the vet. Thankfully he had some initial critical care by Maureen and Lynn when he was picked up and transported. It was just enough to keep him alive. It actually seemed like he was leaving when we first started the IV fluids. But thankfully after a couple bags of fluid he started coming back around, and we could see he was still struggling to stay with us. This baby is beyond fragile and his condition is as critical as they come. His front leg was buckled under him and he was put in a splint. He then received meds and was tubed. He is now tucked carefully into our nursery at Chilly Pepper. We have a big vet bill today and just a few days ago we had an enormous one when we took in Skipper. He was gelded and had his feet trimmed and although still very sore, is doing well considering. We now have 4 milk babies and are going through about $600 in milk per week. We still have gelding, farrier work and extensive care for the Sad 7, as well as expenses for the rest of the kids at the rescue. Please help us with BABY CHRISTMAS & the medical and ongoing expenses for the Sad Seven. BABY CHRISTMAS needs a CHRISTMAS MIRACLE !!

A STARVING MARE AND FOAL, 3 HEAVILY PREGNANT MARES AND 2 STALLIONS NEED YOU NOW!!12/7/2019  Tiny pens, no shelter and winter is here with a vengeance. There is not enough room to move around to get warm and you cannot get away from the snow and wind. Add very little feed to the mix and you have some devastated horses. WE NEED TO SAVE THEM NOW! Failure is not an option. Meet SKIPPER, a very sad and very worried stallion. When I first saw him, my heart sank. It was like South Dakota all over again. Not only his feet, but the fact that he was actually eating his waste. He was not sniffing around for hay, he was literally chomping down on the feces in his pen. These horses will do whatever it takes to survive. (The gentleman taking care of these animals has been in the hospital and stepped up to ask for help. They are not even his horses, so I am so thankful that he asked for help, even thought the last thing I was wanting for Christmas was 7 more horses.) We need to save Mama and her little baby. Mama has had zero milk for sometime and is old and emaciated. I had to pay their bail today. I simply could not bear the thought of her and her baby out in the cold, hungry and trying to survive. Three more heavily pregnant mares and the 2 stallions need us also. Every one has hoof issues, and even the little baby has horribly long hooves. This is another thing I learned in South Dakota, (from Karen herself). A very young baby with really long hooves is the result of starvation :( It's a tough time of year to pick up 7 new kids, and Chilly Pepper needs your help. These horses need your help. We are going to have extensive veterinary, farrier and feed expenses. We will need homes for the pregnant mares and the stallions once their feet are better and they are gelded. However, there is no way I can say no and leave them there. It's almost Christmas! Let's give them the gift of happiness, love and the care they deserve!

These 2 teeny tinies need a safe place to land, and we are it. Both are pretty much unhandled and are little stud colts. Please help us get them today!! We will have to pay bail, vetting, for health certs and transportation to get them home. Let's make their holiday season happy and full of love. The last rescue was successful, although we barely squeaked by. Thankfully someone stepped up for the large pony and the Arabian. We were able to bail out the older TB mare, as well as help save 2 stallions. Thank you everyone who stepped up. We realize it is the beginning of the holiday seasons, and we so appreciate everyone who still is stepping up and saving lives. God bless you!!

It is go time once again. First I want to say Thank You, for saving so many precious lives. Sadly, the emergencies keep coming and we have a very short deadline to save these horses. I NEED TO COMMIT BY FRIDAY MORNING TO KEEP THEM OFF THE TRUCK!, But it is up to y'all if you want me to say yes! I received an urgent call this morning. We have three, possibly 4 who are scheduled to ship Friday, -(The Stallion call was a separate one, but we need to try and save him too.) We have an old Arabian mare. She is said to be as sweet as sweet can be. Her hooves need a bit of help, but she deserves no less than to live out her life in peace, surrounded only by love. We have another old and pregnant TB mare. She definitely needs some TLC, and being pregnant, she desperately needs the proper groceries. There is another pony who may have an adopter. We are praying that is the case. The Stallion mentioned above is approximately 4 years old, and you are his only chance. The great news with him is that he has a wonderful home offer if we can save him. All these kids will need to be bailed, vet checked, transported and cared for as always. We cannot save them without the funding needed to cover the costs and to provide feed and care. PLEASE HELP US SAVE THESE LIVES! Back at the rescue we have stallions to geld, lots of vet bills and a large need for milk powder. Our little Jack donk needs serious hoof care and he needs to get gelded before the weather is too bad. Castle, our yearling stallion also needs to be gelded immediately.

ANOTHER MIRACLE BABY - MEET LITTLE MAX, AND HIS MAMA WHO REJECTED HIM. They just keep coming. All the horses in the last batch have been saved. Luckily another rescue stepped up and helped fund raise and there is only one left at this time. We are slated to bring him home if he does not get adopted in the next few hours. Sadly, between his fees and Coggins etc., we will need another $750 just to save him, and that does not include the additional babies.. It cost $6027 ($1400 to save the horses and the rest for Coggins and Health Certs and to get the emergency vet care for our gentle giant and the tiny Max. Big Matt had a bad case of colic, and Little Matt was on his way to a certain death. In addition, one of the horses I am bringing home on this next trip needed emergency vet care yesterday for an infected hoof. So that pretty much wiped out the coffers. We try to do as much of the vetting as we can, but sometimes you have to bite the bullet and save the lives God puts in front of you. So we need more help now! I have to get to WA, so we can save the 4 babies waiting at the feed lot. Then those horses have to get vetted and we have to get back home. THE MIRACLE OF MAX-AMILLION I received the call for MAX, hours after he was born. His Mama absolutely refused to have anything to do with him and shoved him into a water tank. So this newborn (probably a preemie) ended up with no care, a Mama bent on hurting him, and wet and frozen cold out in the freezing winds. It was a horrific way for a tiny baby to begin life. I was told that he was given colostrum. He couldn't really swallow, and had no suckling reflex whatsoever. It took forever to get even tiny amounts of milk down him. The next morning we had the vet check him. Everything seemed fine. That afternoon little Max was unconscious.. We gave him glucose and Mel worked on waking him up. When he came back to, he sat up and drank his milk like nothing had happened. I was pretty sure we had turned a corner, but that little voice said take him to WSU - the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. It was 4 hours away and I was exhausted and dreading the drive, but I knew God was telling us to go. THANKFULLY WE DID! Max-amillion had zero Passive Transfer, which means he had no colostrum. Not enough to even register. He has pneumonia, fluid around his lungs from the pneumonia, and he would have died for sure. Between the vet bills for Big Matt and Little Max-amillion, and the funds spent purchasing the rescued horses, we simply need to recharge our funds. We need to get the rest of the kids and bring them home. I was told several are still needing milk, although I have yet to see them, THANK YOU to everyone who made all this possible. Please let's finish this long rescue and get these babies to safety. MAX says, THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY LIFE AND MY MAMA TOO, even if she doesn't want me.

ANOTHER 911 CALL! They just do not stop in our world. 2 More wild babies at the shipper's so far, (and most likely more to come!) Folks have seen multiple "traps" that are currently full of wild horses, right now, today! We received an urgent call for a group of kids that are shipping in a few days? 6 Domestics, 3 more older, "gentle giants", who were purportedly driving horses, and 3 older saddle horses. All of these horses worked their lives away, and now that they are no longer needed, they have been thrown in the trash. Let's show them that timing aside, no matter what time of year, their lives DO matter! Rescue is never convenient, and this is the worst time of year to be taking on more horses. However, their lives ALWAYS matter, even if it is freezing outside and it takes tremendous amounts of work to care for them. We will save as many as we can get funding for. But this means being responsible and knowing we have enough money to not only "buy them", but to vet them, transport them and feed and care for them properly through the winter months, or until we can get them adopted. So it will be up to y'all, as always. YOU decide how many more we can save. Y'all are amazing, but we simply cannot do this without you. We are exhausted, but we had to put it out there and give these guys a chance. Big Matt was colicking the 2nd night we got him. He is a hot mess, and needs lots of prayers. His heart rate was double what it should have been and the vet was very concerned. Sadly, he is a very long way from being "out of the woods'. We are hoping and praying his new drug protocol will provide comfort and not too many side effects. We have already spent a fortune on him, but he needs as much help as we can give him. At this time, he cannot seem to lie down. A horse HAS to be able to lie down, or it will be a death sentence. He is exhausted and when he tried to lay down, he got half way down, and it was too hard for him. He started moaning, and then finally stood back up. Vet has him starting on some good meds, so we will see if we can make him comfortable and give him a good quality of life. Can you imagine weighing 1900 pounds, your feet and legs hurting, and not being able to lie down to rest and get off of them? We HAVE TO MAKE SURE his quality of life is one that he deserves! Horses also need to sleep. :( We will be heading home with this current group of kids tomorrow. How many we will be able to pick up when we come back depends on you. Please help us save and take care of as many as possible. We are also praying other folks will step up and help these horses, but for now, all we can do is try and save as many as we can. Thank you as always for your miracles and your prayers!  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HELPING US SAVE MORE LIVES, YOU CAN GO TO:

WILL YOU SAVE MY LIFE TOO??? Matt and I are headed up to get the 9 kids, and had to pull over for a quick question? CAN WE SAVE THIS SPECIAL BOY AS WELL? He is scheduled to ship imminently, and when we got the call, we had to try. He is a gentle giant, albeit a "roachback". But look at that face, he so does not deserve to die. His fee is expensive, as with his weight he will bring a nice fat paycheck if he is shipped to slaughter. Please, let's add him to our list of happy, safe horses. THANK YOU! CLOCK IS TICKING.

THEN IT WAS NINE - 9. WILL YOU HELP US SAVE ALL THEIR LIVES.. MORE DEADLINES & LIVES AT STAKE10/6/2019  WILL YOU SAVE MY LIFE??? (And my friends?) The baby shown above is going to ship if we do not step up! As of tonight, there are 9 lives at stake, Rescue is overwhelming, the constant need for fundraisers, the calls you cannot say yes to, the constant cries for help. Yet once again, we are stuck. We simply do not have enough funds to save all these kids. We have to be responsible to the horses already at the rescue, and we cannot take on more if we cannot properly care for them. That being said, I believe there are enough folks who care about these precious souls who will step up and help us save them. We have committed to paying for 5, but have not covered the costs yet. Again, we are going on faith, even committing to those 5. It takes an average of approximately $350 per horse, to purchase, get them vetted and have their blood drawn, (so they can be transported) and get them home. That is just to “save them”, and that is just the beginning.. That does not include basic feed or any additional vet care etc. We HAVE to have additional funds for feed & care (hay, grain, vaccines etc.), or we cannot commit to saving them all. Matt and I are willing to do the work, but the horses need your help now! You have saved so many lives, please let’s keep on “Gitten ‘Er done”’ and save ALL 9 of these lives. The donkeys are in extremely poor shape health wise. The stud is extremely aggressive, and has not only plowed over one of our favorite people and sent him flying, he BITES! Their hooves are in horrible shape, and they will need lots of extra care and vetting. I am out of town, and was actually trying to take a couple “rescue free” days to have time to say good bye to a much loved friend. But this was a call I couldn’t ignore. (I know she would be unhappy if I let these innocent babies die, just because my heart is filled with sadness by her passing). So in her honor I am continuing the fight, and asking y’all for another miracle. Let’s save these lives. PLEASE donate now!!!  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HELPING US SAVE MORE LIVES, YOU CAN GO TO:

Another 911 call today. Shipper in WA has at least 3 for us. I need to let him know asap if we can take them. TWO of them are easily big enough to ship, but we were offered the chance to save them. However, as always, there is a looming deadline. We are so grateful to y'all for helping us save the 71 babies in August and September, but these lives are just as important. We have been absolutely swamped caring for the nearly 90 horses we had at Chilly Pepper, but thankfully, our angels stepped up to help us find placement for many of the babies. We are now close to 30 horses, but that is still a very large number going into winter. We need to stock up on groceries and meds. With temperatures sinking in to the low 20's in the next week, we are fighting the cold weather, "water blues". (Low 20's means freezing water tanks, frozen hoses, broken water lines etc. So we need to buy new tank heaters and get ready for the cold immediately. It's only September, ugh.) We are working on more shelter so all these kids will be comfortable and warm. In the past, this much shelter was not needed, as our numbers were normally lower. However, as we are sitting on close to 30 horses and the weather is already going to be brutal, we need to get the extra shelters set up. Especially as we are (hopefully) heading out to get more. The (4 legged) kids are also eating us out of house and home. We need to order more hay, grain, milk pellets etc. and are now heading to WA, IF we can save these babies. This will mean more vetting etc. (It was over $500 for the last 5). As our coffers were nearly wiped out with the 71 needing so much special feed, milk pellets, vetting etc., we need to get back on track. Please help us save these lives and prepare for the upcoming winter. We need your help and together, as always, we can "git 'er done" and keep saving lives.

MEET TATIANA - CAN WE HELP HER? SHE IS IN EXTREMELY CRITICAL CONDITION! SHE NEEDS HELP NOW!9/1/2019  Thank you for helping us save all 71 babies. In the middle of all that, we rescued another Virginia Range yearling with a nail in her foot. Sadly, the only option was to end her excruciating pain. ANOTHER EMERGENCY CALL YESTERDAY. We picked up this beautiful little girl last night. She is about as critical as they come. We also found out she has extreme issues with peripheral vision and appears to be completely blind behind her. She was terrified, shaking and lashing out, kicking viciously out of utter panic and terror, if anything accidentally touched her hind end or she herself touched something. She is beyond sweet and NEEDS YOUR HELP! She stayed right outside the nursery door, surrounded by babies, babies, babies on either side. She ate and as I was awake all night, I heard her urinate twice. That is why you "sleep (or stay awake lol)" with your critical cases and your babies. I would have no way of knowing if she was passing any fluids if I couldn't hear her. She will need veterinary care, blood tests, medicine, special feed etc. and we still have close to 70 horses here. 19 went to their new homes yesterday. PTL! So if you can help us give her a chance it would be much appreciated. Tatiana was named after Titan,our beautiful boy we rescued last year. He came in to us in about the same shape, but the damage the starvation did to him was too severe. He had a year of love and happiness, but yesterday he was done. Please help us save her and honor his memory. She truly needs a miracle, and if we can save her, she most likely will end up a permanent rescue in our blind pen with the other kids.

WOW - ANOTHER 911 CALL - 26 MORE babies today. I should have stayed home lol. I am in WA State as we got called for 5 babies last week. Received another phone call this morning and now we have another 26 babies to save. THESE BABIES NEED FOLKS TO HELP ASAP! Between NV and WA, we have now pulled in 71 babies and yearlings in the last 2 weeks. Talk about running on faith. The wonderful donations we received have pretty much been spent rescuing these kids, feeding them, and on some initial veterinary care. God has always provided us with such amazing Angels (YOU) who donate so we can keep saving these PRECIOUS LIVES. However, this one is especially based on faith, as we need so much help to be able to save these kids. Again, everything is a deadline, and we need to be able to commit to and pick up these babies tonight. PLEASE HELP US SAVE THESE ADDITIONAL 26 BABIES! AS ALWAYS, THIS IS A 911, as we are the only chance these babies have to start their new lives. So once again, our CHILLY PEPPER FAMILY is on the FRONT LINES! Let's do what we always do and "git 'er done"! THANK YOU from each and every baby!  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HELPING US SAVE MORE LIVES, YOU CAN GO TO:

HEY JUST KEEP COMING! Got ANOTHER CALL!!!!l for UP TO SIXTY (60) - YES, 60 or more, ORPHAN BABIES. The roundup in NV has already started, sorting has begun and we are on call for this afternoon!!. We have been given the chance to purchase these orphans BEFORE the kill buyer gets their hands on them. Praising the Lord for that one. Although no one likes the roundups, this makes saving the ones we can so much easier. We are also on call for any other "special needs" kids that might come in!, whether it be injuries, starving etc. We will be there for the ones that need us! This will save about $300 per baby just to rescue them. By being offered this "pre-purchase" opportunity, we will save about EIGHTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($18,000) IF we can raise enough funds and are able to rescue the 60 we were told about. We are estimating to purchase the babies, get Coggins, health Certs etc. and to provide the milk and feed they will need to get buy for a couple months, we should plan on about $500 per baby. That will give us a couple? month's worth of feed. Most of these babies are not weaned, and will need their milk replacer! It is definitely going to take awhile to find homes for that many babies. There could be more! Everyone is always saying that rescues should get them before they get to the kill buyer. Well, here is our chance. I believe they only have to be about 400 pounds to ship, so we need to save as many as possible. We are shooting for $30,000 so we can save up to 60 babies and actually be able to start providing care for them until we find them homes That is just the start, as there will most likely be at least a few who need vetting. Once again I was given a deadline to commit, and as always, I went on pure Faith. Y'all have saved so many lives and I know that no one wants these babies to die. It is time for EVERYONE to come together. We still have babies at the Shipper's in WA, and the 4 (3 stallions) in Idaho that I wrote about yesterday. We are hoping other rescues will take on even a few of the babies. We need to work together! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, Help us get this done. We have had miracle after miracle because YOU GUYS SAVED THE DAY! Let' keep it going and save these lives. (Babies pictured here are some of the groups you have saved in the past.)

Another 911, Received an emergency call for the horses shown above, a couple hours ago. We have until Friday to save them. There are two stallions and a yearling who all need to be gelded. Stallions have so much less of a chance to find homes, but we can "git 'er done", with Your help! (Sometimes it is a bummer being the ones who can "do stallions", but these lives matter!) All four need saved, and we need your help to have their Coggins drawn, get their Health Certs etc. and be able to transport them to safety. As usual, we need immediate help to save these beautiful souls. The good news is that we can save them, and the great news is that 3 of them already have a safe place to land, once we rescue and vet them. The gelding needs some serious hoof care, and then we can work on placing him also. But the timing is critical and it is urgent as there is no leniency on the deadline. THANK YOU for saving Sinbad. (aka Hero) (Shown above left) Great news!! He is on his new Mama. They are with our friends Bev Boshart and her group, and Mama and Baby are loving each other. Mama needs some serious groceries as well, and both are getting everything they need and the best care possible. We so appreciate Bev taking on this little one. This is the 2nd Mama and baby this year, that they have matched up with a little magic from the vet. Another reason to celebrate. Remember poor Obsidian? Well, here he is today. He now has his permanent home, and he is thriving there. He still has serious emotional issues, but is improving every day. He is comfortable where he is living and starting to interact a bit more on his own. Physically he is thriving. Every day this beautiful boy is healing and enjoying his life, and it is all "THANKS TO YOU"!   Another emergency for an emaciated foal. I received another 911 call today. One of the babies at the shipper's is in dire shape. His Mama passed away, and he needs our help now!!! Please help us Save Sinbad. He needs urgent and lifesaving care immediately. He will be at Mama Mel's Urgent Care Nursery for now. I have a call in to one of our folks in WA who has had success in the past, hooking up Mama's and orphan foals, and we have high hopes that he may be one of the lucky ones. This will be done under veterinary care, and he will have 24/7 care. But for now we need to save him and we need to stock up on all of our supplies for the rest of the babies who are still at the Shipper's. We know there are already more coming, and as usual, we need your help now! We are short on all our baby supplies and we still have 8 babies at this time, Thank you!

 Another call for 4 more babies, and maybe more. At least this one is not a 24 hour deadline. Pickup could be in a day, or a week, or even longer. Luckily the Shipper does not have a full load right now. So every day is a gift for these poor babies. Sadly, we have no option to save the moms. But we need to raise funds to secure the safety and rescue of these little babies. We deal with so much heartbreak it is beyond comprehension. It drains you to the point of almost not being able to function. I know this is God's rescue and He puts this all in front of us. So I am supposed to be able to handle it :( We run on so much faith, and He does always provide, even when we are down to pennies, but it takes every last thing. THANK YOU so very much for making the last rescue possible. The mare's leg was horribly broken. When she stepped out of the trailer she fell down, so she was humanely euthanized within hours. It of course was extra spendy, but it had to be done. THANK YOU for giving her the respect she deserved, and the gift of an end to her pain. The other gelding is now in his forever home. He may or may not have a long life, but his teeth were fixed so his horrible pain has also ended. The vet said the cancer is not painful, so he will live out his days in peace, surrounded by love. The orphans were also picked up and are home safe. We were called on a beautiful little filly from Nevada, named Tyla. She had been caught in the middle of a stallion fight and had been laying there for hours. Everyone came together and we picked her up. She was in horrible shape, and we took her to the vet on our way home. I also consulted our vet in CA. She is a foal specialist and is one of the best vets out there. Both of my "excellent" vets had exactly the same treatment plan. However, even with proper meds, the damage to her spine was too much and she let us know she was done. Her pain was getting worse and worse and her spinal injury was not improving. Sadly, we had to set her free from her pain and this world. The only good thing was that for once, EVERY person in her life DID THE RIGHT THING FOR HER. If caring folks had not taken the time to make sure she was rescued, she would have literally been eaten alive on the range, as she was paralyzed when she was lying down. (She could literally only move her head and neck.) Another heartbreak for us, but a beautiful gift for an amazingly beautiful little baby. She couldn't stay lying down, even when we helped her down. Her pain was too much. She would stand beside my bed for literally hours, with her nose mushed into my tummy and sleep. We spent nearly 24/7 with her, but even with the best care, she never had a chance. When a baby wants to fight, and there is even the slightest chance of getting better, we will always fight with them. But that moment they tell you they are done, we have to honor and respect that, no matter how painful it is for us. That is true rescue. Always doing what is best for the critter in front of you. So we have lots of vet bills again, and our milk and rescue funds have been depleted. We are getting ready for the new kids, and praying there will only be 4. However we all know that can change in a minute. So once again, we need your help now! Y'all are amazing, and YOU HAVE SAVED SO MANY LIVES! Thank you for always being there for the horses. Thank you as always, for your amazing love and support. We treasure all our Chilly Pepper Family and appreciate the fact that YOU MAKE THIS ALL POSSIBLE! We will keep on fighting as long as we have the funds to make it happen, even though on days like today it is simply too much. :( Below - Honey Bandit and Lucky. 2 of the amazing lives that y'all have saved!

I am literally sick to my stomach and crying as I write this. The beautiful bay has a so called, "blown out knee". We need to commit to save her right now. She is heading to the slaughter truck, if we don't step up. Look at that leg, it has to be excruciating! That is how she stands (see middle pix). I have to say I am saying YES, praying and believing that y'all would not let her down. Watching her move is beyond excruciating, and I cannot believe any human could leave a horse like that. So she was headed to the slaughter truck, her knee basically broken, and in absolute agony. I am so angry and so sick. I just cried and cried when I saw her trying to walk. We need to call the emergency vet out asap, and I also told my person to GO AHEAD!. I am running on absolute faith, but the person who left this horse like this should be punished beyond belief. On top of that we have her buddy, a 30 year old gelding who is slowly starving as his teeth are in beyond deplorable shape. He has horrible open sores in his mouth from his teeth poking into his gums, and is blind to boot. These horses have been through more pain than any horse should ever suffer. We were told the gelding has cancer, and you can see the tumors all over his head and neck. We need to commit to both of these horses. AND, while I was writing this, I RECEIVED ANOTHER CALL about more orphans at the shipping yard. SO WE NEED HELP, AND WE NEED IT NOW. PLEASE HELP US SAVE THESE 2 and provide what they need. I am sure the emergency vet will not be cheap, but we need to help this mare RIGHT NOW! Her pain ends tonight. We also need to save the orphaned foals, bail them, vet them and get them home. What a horrible way to live the "golden years". Sometimes this is just way too much to even begin to deal with. I told our person to call the vet, and again, I am absolutely running on faith. Faith that no one out there will let that mare suffer another minute more than she has to. Can you imagine walking on a broken leg with all that weight???? She can't even bend over to get to water. I know there are at least 2 more orphans, and we all know how those numbers can climb quickly. _We had to put down "Our Beautiful Boy", the one who was saved after Lucky Man got another home, prior to Matt picking him up. He too was in absolute agony and could barely even stand. He would have also been on the slaughter truck floor. _ There is way too much heartbreak. We had a $1000 vet bill from the last kids in WA, and they same day we had a huge bill in NV, and that is the day we had to euthanize Our Beautiful Boy; So between our last 2 vet bills, the ones we are incurring with these 2 kids, and the one for the new orphans, we will be hurting tremendously, and that is not even beginning to add up all the new expenses that will come with these kids. I can only say THANK YOU, on behalf of all the horses you have saved. Especially from the ones who would have died during transport. The gift you have given these horses is amazing, and yes, once again I am asking you to help more horses. It is definitely "GO TIME"! WE NEED YOU TO SAVE THEM! PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN! Y'all are amazing, and YOU HAVE SAVED SO MANY LIVES! Thank you for always being there for the horses. Thank you as always, for your amazing love and support.

 MARE # 2 WAS OUR "BONUS MARE". She is in extremely critical shape. Please say a prayer for her! Her colt is also absolutely starved :( PLEASE NOTE - OUR NEW MAILING ADDRESS IS CHILLY PEPPER PO BOX 233 GOLCONDA, NV 89414 It never seems to end. YOU made it possible to save the original 4 pregnant mares. During that rescue, we were given the option to save the emaciated mare you see in the above photo. There was no way we could leave her, or her starving colt, behind :( In all honesty, she may be too far gone and have too much damage to her organs from being so starved. However, we will give her every single chance to get healthy and have a life. She will need blood work and to be seen by a vet. We have stepped in for so many starvation cases, but sadly we have had 4 or 5 where there was simply too much damage done to their organs. Honey Bandit was definitely a miracle. If you haven't seen his story, you should, if you want a reminder of the miracles that can happen. So we won't quit, unless the horse asks us to respect that they are "done". They will ALWAYS tell you. Here is the link to his story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO2CFim0AYs. Just copy the link and put it in your browser. Then get your tissues and remember he is a happy horse today. He does have some issues, but none that bother him :) or that he is aware of. GOOD NEWS on Lucky Man. We paid his fees, and YOU kept him off the slaughter truck!! Where it gets even better is this. Before Matt picked him up, someone saw the post and wanted him. So not only did you keep him off the truck, it bought him time to find another home, AND, IT ALLOWED US TO SAVE ANOTHER "direct ship child". So instead of saving 4 mares, plus their unborn foals, we saved 4 mares, the emaciated mare and her very thin colt, a 2 year old with a horrific injury, another colt, AND Matt is currently bringing home another 7, (not 5) horses that were ALL saved from slaughter. So the rescue of 9 turned into FIFTEEN! Of course all the extra kids put a huge dent in the funds that were raised, so once again we need folks to help us get them all vetted, get the special feed & additional vet care they need, and simply get them home. Y'all are amazing, and YOU HAVE SAVED SO MANY LIVES! Thank you for always being there for the horses. Thank you as always, for your amazing love and support.

ANOTHER 911!! Just got the call for 4 HEAVILY PREGNANT MARES about to ship to slaughter. As you can see below, one of them is already bagging up. As usual, there is an imminent deadline, so we need to save them now! I believe we have been given 24 hours to come up with the funds to save these kids. We NEED to get it done NOW, so we can get that mare to our nursery at Mama Mel's so she can have her baby in a safe and clean environment. I know we are always handling "emergencies", but that is what the "front line, boots on the ground is all about". If not, these beautiful ladies ship. I cannot even bear the thought of that little baby being born in the trailer on the way to slaughter, or the mom's going to slaughter either. Matt is delivering Obsidian and Goldy to their forever homes, and picking up the other kids. We were able to send payment for Lucky Man on time, and he did not ship! THANK YOU FOR THAT! BUT WE NEED HELP RIGHT NOW TO MAKE SURE THESE GIRLS ARE SAFE. Can you even imagine the baby dropping into this world, in the middle of a bunch of terrified and angry horses. He/she would drop onto a filthy floor and be trampled to death. Let's make sure she is born in a clean and quiet place, where her Mama can take care of her and she can nurse and have a life. It was terrifying when I saw Hope had been born in the trailer, but we were equipped and took immediate steps to ensure her safety. Our trailer was not packed, and it was still oh so scary. PLEASE do not let this happen to these babies and let's keep their Mama's safe too. We need to purchase them, get them vetted and transported etc. This is just the beginning, but I am counting on our Chilly Pepper Family to step up once again. You guys are amazing and I am so very grateful, as are all the horses you save!! Donate now and let's "git 'er done". If ever there was an emergency, it is right now!! (With all the babies, extra vet bills etc, we are absolutely wiped out. The amazing love y'all have shown is what made it possible to pick up the milk and get the vetting done etc. Sadly though, the babies and the other special needs kids have wiped out the budget. However, they are all DOING FANTASTIC, thanks to y'all!) You can clearly see she needs out NOW to have her baby somewhere safe. Looks like baby is going to have all the milk he/she needs. PLEASE SAVE HER!!!! Thank you as always, for your amazing love and support.

IT'S GO TIME RIGHT NOW! WE HAVE 24 HOURS TO SAVE "LUCKY MAN"! AN URGENT CALL FOR HIM AND OTHERS.6/17/2019  24 HOURS TO SAVE "LUCKY MAN". This horse was in the direct ship pen. Thankfully, we received a phone call about him and we have been given 24 hours to save him. Will you save his life?? We are literally his ONLY chance. That is why I named him "Lucky Man", because he was in the position of having zero chance to go anywhere but to slaughter. We don't ask why, just how can we make it happen?? We also received an emergency call about 4 ponies who were dumped and are also at risk of heading to slaughter. I never will understand how folks let their animals nearly starve and then just dump them. However, WE CAN SAVE THEM ALL! IF we raise enough funds, and IF we do it quickly. I have to send money for "Lucky Man" by tomorrow if we are going to save him. We have a bit longer for the ponies, but they are not safe until they are "safe and paid for". Good news on the home front. OBSIDIAN has found his forever home. (With his girlfriend). Unfortunately we need to raise about $ 1400 for fuel, but as seems to happen quite often at Chilly Pepper, God has wrapped all these horses into the same big trip. So we have two of the big ones going to their forever home, TOGETHER :), and we will be picking up and saving 5 more lives. Out of the 7 orphans at Mama Mel's Nursery, we still have 2 available. I have 8 young ones here at Chilly Pepper. So although we have had some wonderful adoptions, including Mama and Baby, we are still going through milk like crazy with the remaining 10 babies. _We had some wonderful donations which has kept us in milk and helped with the vetting so far. But the little monkeys are gulping it right up, and the starvation cases from the last rescue are all gaining weight and so appreciative of the groceries they have been consuming. As you can see below, Obsidian looks amazing. :)_ We so appreciate y'all saving these lives! Thank you as always, for your amazing love and support. We treasure all our Chilly Pepper Family and appreciate the fact that YOU MAKE THIS ALL POSSIBLE!  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HELPING US SAVE MORE LIVES, YOU CAN GO TO:

YOU DID IT! We were able to save Mama and baby, as well as the other 15. Mama Mel & Angel were picked up and are currently safe and sound. Poor Angel had some pretty horrific injuries, and we did emergency treatment, pain meds, antibiotics, etc. on arrival and the vet came out the next day to finish clean up. (Mel & I did the immediate care that was needed, but due to the level of pain the additional cleaning would cause, we wanted to wait for the Vet as she had the good pain meds.) This last "combined rescue", y'all saved 15 orphans and Mama Mel & Angel, and you saved 12 just prior to that. (We are still trying to get 5 of them back from being starved and help their injuries heal up.) Thank you for making that possible. However, we are in a serious pinch from all the ongoing vet bills, and milk and feed expenses from the rescue prior and this last one. And of course we are on "stand by" for more babies. Our most recent groups combined had well over $5000 in vet bills, and that is NOT including the $12,000 plus that AWHC stepped up for. This was what we incurred at Chilly Pepper alone. EACH BABY drinks about $300 worth of Foal Lac in a month. I just picked up $900 in milk yesterday, but that will not last very long :( So as of right now, we are going through $3,600 each month, just in MILK POWDER alone, and that does not include any of the medical, shavings for clean dry stalls, milk pellets, grain, hay, and all the other little things these fragile kids need. Every single baby that has come in has had scours and needed meds of some sort. So did the big kids, and although they are starting to improve, every single one of them was ill, in spite of their "health certs". They ALL need special feed and some still need meds. I am sorry to share some sad news. My heart is broken at the loss of our beloved "Little Bandito". He was our beautiful little Miniature Stallion that came in with the swollen eyes and severe head injury. Although he was seen by the vet and was also on medicine, his injury would steal his beautiful life from us. He had some kind of head trauma during the night. He appeared to have passed quietly, but in the morning he was gone, and his eyes were no longer swollen and he had blood coming from his nose. Sometimes rescue makes you hurt too badly, to even breathe. I honestly don't know how much more pain and suffering I can take. Thank you as always, for your amazing love and support. We treasure all our Chilly Pepper Family and appreciate the fact that YOU MAKE THIS ALL POSSIBLE! Below, some of the kids you saved, at Chilly Pepper.

IT'S GO TIME IN A BIG WAY!!! We have a rare chance to save MOM AND BABY!!! We are supposed to be picking up in approximately 19 hours, and we actually can save Mom too, - WITH YOUR HELP! As you can see this little "ANGEL", needs somewhat of a miracle. She is only about a week old, from what we understand. She has an injury to her leg which needs immediate and urgent care. At this age they are so delicate and it is obviously infected. They can go septic and crash so quickly. She needs immediate care. Please help us save Angel AND HER MAMA! We are constantly being asked why we didn't save the moms. Here is your chance! We do have the opportunity to save them both, but it is up to you. We have picked up 2 more orphans and another mare in the last week. So instead of the 15, we were working with EIGHTEEN, and that is just the number of orphans we have with us, not including any of the horses at home that have been rescued. Now we have the chance to save two more lives. But we need your help and we need it now. We have adopted out 3 in the last week, but we are still once again feeding 15 orphans. Yes, that is better than 18, but it still is excruciatingly expensive. The babies are all improving, but it is down to the wire for saving this Mare and Her Foal. The leg will definitely need immediate medical care, and we have to keep feeding every body. The horses Matt picked up a couple weeks ago will hopefully be ready for adoption in the near future. But until then, we really enjoy feeding everyone exactly what they need. So here is your chance to SAVE MAMA TOO! Please give generously and quickly so we can save both of them together. We see so much heartbreak, and hopefully we will be able to avoid having another "orphan". Let's pick up a mare and foal pair as opposed to creating an orphan. The kids at home are still needing extensive TLC, but are getting healthier every day! We need to make sure we can care properly for all the horses we save. There will be paperwork, blood draws, vet work etc. etc. for the new ones also. Thank you as always, for your amazing love and support.

Chilly Pepper's kids need your help today. We have 15 orphaned foals on hand, and we are going through milk and supplies like crazy. Every single baby has had to be seen by a vet, and most of them needed medication of some sort. Many are still on, or finishing up their meds, and happily all are guzzling milk like crazy. The simple fact is that to properly take care of an orphan foal, it is expensive. While the 7 NV kids' initial vet bill is being covered by AWHC and the Horse and Man Bucket Fund, Chilly Pepper is still incurring all the normal costs. In addition to all the vet bills for the NV babies, we are responsible for any ongoing vet bills and all of the expenses for all of them. Boring things like BioSponge, Probiotics, milk pellets, hay, shavings, etc. etc and of course the most expensive item, their milk powder, are costing well over $200 plus a day. It is imperative they get everything they need now, and they are. However, we need help to keep saving lives. We also need to maintain vehicles, trailers etc., and although the NV babies trickle in one or two at a time, (and those rescues are not as dramatic as the large groups we get at any one time), they still have the same costs once we get them, and we still need to buy milk and give them the best care possible. We have permanent residents at Chilly Pepper, as well as many other kids who are getting the TLC they need to be ready for their forever homes. It all depletes the budget, but is necessary to do what we do. We simply cannot save these lives without y'all. We are currently standing by for not only more Yakima Babies in WA, but others in NV. So as always, there is never a dull moment or that thing they call rest, lol. So please help these beautiful babies today! Thank you as always, to all the folks who have stepped up and are part of this amazing journey and responsible for saving all these lives. YOU, are the reason these horses have a chance!
