THANK YOU FROM CHILLY PEPPER & ALL THE CRITTERS Y'ALL HAVE SAVED! MANY PRAYERS NEEDED FOR LUCKY!3/30/2021  Meet "LUCKY # 5" Lucky was found wandering alone on the range just hours after his birth. We have no idea whether he was abandoned on purpose due to his health issues, or his band was scared away or something happen to Mama. He came in with some gurgling sounds and was twitching and shaking off and on. He was given Colostrum immediately, and thus started the journey of Foal # 5. Lil Red is finally at a point you could call "stable". He crashed so many times it seemed like he had no chance. He went down after he was tubed, nearly into a coma. Then he had to have Doc come out again. He is still having some gut issues, but doing very well overall. Hunter is also doing pretty well, and the little lamb was adopted out to a wonderful home. Nicholas, was the 1st baby on this last, very long trip. He went to a very special adopter and is thriving. You can follow him on our adoption page. He and Lucky look like twins except Nicholas is much larger and older. So now we come to # 5. LUCKY is still absolutely touch and go. He is on all sorts of medications and is making all my hair fall out from worrying about him so much. We had his blood work done, and it is not bad. His IGG levels are good, which means giving him the Colostrum was most likely exactly what he needed. Thank you to everyone who donated so we could afford to have it on hand. Please keep him in your prayers. Lucky is having all sorts of random issues and his waste still smells like death. I am hoping and praying this is not why he was left alone hours after being born. We have incurred lots of vet bills, and the babies are loving their milk. They are going through mass amounts and I want to thank the folks who sent it. None of this would happen if it wasn't for y'all. Our beautiful Appy mare, now know as Lady, went to a wonderful new home this weekend. Today, Hawk, Hidalgo and Bailey (aka CC) arrived at their new homes. So adoptions are going well, although my poor lil heart keeps breaking. It stinks to not be the "best home" for a horse you are in love with LOL. I have "baby brain", from not sleeping much for the last 4? weeks. I am up all night, every night with these kids, so hopefully this all makes sense. Just wanted to stop between making milk etc. and giving Lucky his meds to say THANK YOU! We couldn't do it without you, and yes, we still need help. Look how much you have accomplished. I cannot even believe what magic happens when we all come together. God bless and please keep these babies in your prayers! The babies are going through milk like crazy. ANY help is much appreciated. Anyone who wants to donate directly to vet bills can simply call Harrah Veterinary at 509-848-2943 and donate ANY amount towards our ongoing bills. Just tell them it's for Palomino - Chilly Pepper. As always, YOU are the ones who keep this going. We are just hitting the busy time and I am praying I get to go home for a couple of weeks. These last 3 babies have already gone through hundreds of dollars of milk, enemas, meds and supplies.

 Meet "TUCKER & LIL RED" These precious souls are fighting hard to be here and live in this brutal world. Lil Red has been touch and go from the start and is far from out of the woods. He had to be tube fed and then needed IV fluids. The vet has been out here several times and we are simply hour to hour. Prayers are much appreciated! His little brain had not finished wiring when he was born. I am pretty sure he was a preemie. I have had numerous other foals like this, and they usually figure things out. He is NOT a dummy foal, just simply not "all there yet". He was about 3 days old when I got him after being born on the feed lot. Tucker has been having non stop tummy issues and is a bit colicky. Both have been through the wringer and will likely need more vet care and blood work. They are beautiful little boys who have had their Mama's ripped away in front of them. Both of them spent the 1st couple nights crying incessantly. It is brutal to hear. I just got the vet bill this morning for these last babies. This trip alone, the vet bills have totaled $2243.17. (*I LOVE Doc Bruce. His prices are SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER than we were being charged before. He is always there at the drop of a hat and I cannot say enough about how blessed we are. Not only for his expertise, but for the savings on each and every call he comes on.*) Sadly, the bills still add up with the number of lives y'all are making it possible to save. Nicholas and the little orphaned lamb both are at their new homes. Nicholas is thriving with his new Mama and is healing not only her broken heart, but the rest of the family's as well. The babies are going through milk like crazy. ANY help is much appreciated. Anyone who wants to donate directly to vet bills can simply call Harrah Veterinary at 509-848-2943 and donate ANY amount towards our ongoing bills. Just tell them it's for Palomino - Chilly Pepper.

Wow - the insanity has already begun. Y'all JUST SAVED TEN MORE LIVES since I arrived in WA to pick up the Stallion and the 2 Pregnant mares! I was getting ready to head back home to NV on Monday when I received another urgent phone call for an orphaned, abandoned foal.Then a call for an abandoned, injured, newborn orphaned lamb. It never stops! This morning I had Doc come out and pull Coggins on "Nicholas", (Our most recent Emergency), I was prepping to finally head home and my phone rang again. There are "tinies" at the Shipper's and I should be getting them tomorrow. So apparently I am not going home anytime soon. Sadly, NEARLY ALL the funds have been depleted on this last rescue. Every day that I am here, I have to have folks at home taking care of the rescue. Although most of their time is volunteer, it still adds up substantially. (They are amazing!) We also need to get another load of hay for the "special needs" kids at the rescue. Fuel costs are rising and that is a substantial cost for us even before the ridiculous prices we are already starting to see. I have to get more shelter set up for these critical babies. As the numbers increase, so does the need for safe nursery space to give them what they need. We spent roughly $2000+ simply to "save" these lives, and spent over $1,000 on vetting for health certs, (and that does not include the latest couple visits). That was just to get the horses to camp and keep them off the slaughter truck. (Just in the last 2 weeks). This DOES NOT include medical care, feed, hauling, etc. It is just a drop in the bucket of the rescue expenses. I realize folks are struggling. However, I will keep fighting for these lives as long as I have the funding to do so. Sadly I have been warned that they are planning on "hitting it hard" this year because there are so many horses. So I am asking everyone who wants me to keep saving these precious lives to make it happen. Great news however, these last horses that you saved are nearly all adopted, and yes, we saved the "3 Old Ladies". They are currently in NV and being assessed. They are approximately 25 years old and sweet as can be. Sadly we had to let Angel Face leave this world that was nothing but cruel to her. She was in excruciating pain and it was much worse the photos showed. She is running free in Heaven with the Angels and is finally free from the horrific pain. I am still working on the mare with the long feet. However, her owner did get them trimmed (how well I don't know), and supposedly the vet is going to assess her. I am still on standby. I know it costs a lot to set these souls free, but it is the right thing to do! It is beyond devastating and it feels like you are being torn apart, yet I will always do it if no one else will. When you see Angel Face below, please know that your love and support ended her horrible suffering. YOU made such a difference for this beautiful soul by alleviating her endless pain. THANK YOU!

URGENT HELP NEEDED FOR HORRIBLE ABUSE CASES - UNTREATED BROKEN LEG!!! STANDING BY FOR MORE BABIES!3/1/2021  Look at this poor mare's leg. Look at the other mare's hooves. This is serious abuse, and we need to try and save them. Can you EVEN IMAGINE THE PAIN??! Sadly I do not have much hope for fixing her leg, but I will do whatever she needs. She has suffered long enough. I am hoping we can get her here, have her checked out by the vet, and then ease her pain. She also has to be in agony. After having 40 plus surgeries on my leg, and having my femur snap in half, I can't even imagine how much pain she is in. With so much weight and stress on that front leg, it has to be awful. The second mare shown has been beyond abused. She also has to be in agony. It will be a miracle if her Coffin bones have not rotated. Both will need vetting, x-rays and lots of special care. IF I can save the second mare, she will most likely need long term, specialized farrier care as well. If I DON'T GET HER, he plans to CONTINUE BREEDING HER!!! I have been promised the one with the broken leg, but still working on saving her if we raise enough funds to save her and take care of her. YESTERDAY, I received a 911 for 3 old ladies. They are wild (unhandled) mini's, aged approximately 25, and they are considered in extremely poor health. They have nowhere else to go and also will need vetting and specialty care. I am ALSO on notice for more babies. These horses are JUST the ones that God put in front of me these last few days. PLEASE HELP ME HELP THEM! I NEVER look for horses to save,and sadly, I simply cannot say yes to all of them. The ones I share with y'all to save, well ALL OF THEM are urgent calls and 911's put in front of me. I am already emotionally spent, and the season is just starting. Of course the last one never ended. I was told there could be a huge number of babies all at once, and since I got 70 in 2 days just a few years ago, that in itself is a bit stressful. THANK YOU for saving the 6 in NV, and the last 8 in WA. ALL the pregnant mares are doing well and so are the babies. Sadly, Lil Dancer was too far gone, and he is running in Heaven with his Mama. Thank you to Freedom Reigns in CA for taking the 3 NV wild and pregnant mares!

Meet "Reigns". I got to meet her, and she is THE SWEETEST soul you will ever meet. She is in extremely rough shape and needs us yesterday! In the middle of saving the latest 3 mares and foal, ANOTHER 911 and a starving mare, pregnant mares & the stallion shipping to slaughter! The stallion is still with his family. We can't leave him behind. (For folks who say "how can they ship a pregnant mare? Well it's all about money and pregnant mares are heavy. They are paid by weight and the babies count, even though they are discarded during slaughter.) It's BABY SEASON and the mares are starting to give birth. I cannot think of much worse than a baby dropping to the floor and being trampled in the middle of the slaughter truck. As always, I am asking you to help save these lives. When God puts them in front of me, I know I have to try and save them. However, YOU are the ones who decide yes or no. I cannot do it without you! Sadly, our beautiful Snow Baby Little Dancer passed before I could get here. Mel took wonderful care of him and we were waiting for the vet, but his little heart wanted to leave and find his Mama up in heaven. The CURRENT RESCUE of the pregnant mare, the colt and the possibly pregnant mare is happening and thanks to you, all 3 of the last group are safe. Let's keep it going and save these precious lives as well. Below, the mare and baby you saved on this rescue! Samantha seems like she is going to give birth any time now.

THIS BEAUTIFUL ORPHAN FOAL NEEDS YOUR HELP! Meet "DANCER", a week old? maybe?? (Not even a glimmer of a tooth showing.) orphan Mustang. He just came in frozen n hungry.

We still need to stock IT IS past GO TIME. It's BABY SEASON!!! He will be staying with me at Chilly Pepper until he is ready for adoption at a later time. Please help us save these babies. The prices of ALL of the milk and supplies have gone up substantially. These precious lives cannot be saved without your help!

THIS BEAUTIFUL MARE NEEDS YOUR HELP! She and her unborn child will be shipping to slaughter if we don't save them. As you know, donations have been deeply affected by the current economy. If we don't get the funding in time, I will NOT be able to save them. The other mare shown below is also shipping. I honestly have no idea what the future holds for rescues everywhere. I am praying I can keep saving lives with your help. Thank you for those who came through so we could actually cover the initial rescue costs for the last 6. If you would like to save this Mama and her baby and keep them safe, please skip a coffee or meal out and send whatever you can. All I can do is ask for help and pray we get what we need in time.

For the first time since I started this rescue, we failed to raise enough funds to save the 6 wild horses who were shipping to slaughter. LUCKILY for the horses, I went on faith and saved them even though we haven't yet raised the funds. This means that monies slated for feed and vet bills has not been put back, and the horses really need your help. This is a first,and sadly a result of the current times. We simply did not raise enough funds to cover the cost of saving them, transporting them, drawing blood work and getting brand inspections, health certificates etc. Yesterday we had to geld 4 stallions, so the wild ones can find safe and loving homes. I am praying hard, as the world simply seems to be upside down. I have no idea where the rescue is headed due to the general economy. For now, I am hoping we can raise enough funds to pay for the gelding, vetting and transport. THE 3 SKINNY, PREGNANT MARES HAVE A WONDERFUL HOME OFFER at a private sanctuary in California. I almost cried when she said she would offer them a forever home. HOWEVER, we need funds to transport them safely, get health certificates, brand inspections etc. The simple truth is that Chilly Pepper STILL needs help for these horses, even though they are SAFE and we kept them off of that horrible truck! I also had a "behind the scenes" rescue of this beautiful little girl shown below. She is crippled and definitely did not need to be an appetizer somewhere. Meet "Phoebee". THANK YOU!

We are her only hope. PLEASE HELP ME SAVE MYSTIC! She will need blanket(s), and lots of special groceries.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Thanks to your love and support, we were able to save Treasure AND get Smurf and Noel safely home. Sadly, Treasure is in even worse shape than we were told. The first thing I did was take him to Doc to get his bloodwork run. He is severely anemic, and he probably had no more than a few days left to live, without being dewormed. Doc said he had so many bloodworms they were literally killing him. His white blood cell count is horrendous as well. So much that Doc is afraid he has leukemia. I de-wormed him, and then we went into having scours immediately. For more than 5 days he had the most horrible diarrhea (scours), and it was, and still is hour to hour with him. We are now praying he does not have any blockages from all of the worms. He is in critical shape at best, but is the most loving and kind horse I have ever met. We spent hours just sitting in the yard, while he stood with his head in my lap. He is literally breaking my heart, and I am doing everything I can with special feed and meds etc. He could really use another blanket or 2, as he tends to need his washed every day or so. His size is about a 78". It is bitterly cold here and he has nothing to keep him warm, so it is imperative that he stays blanketed while it is cold. It's time to stock up on Foal Lac Powder, Foal Lac Pellets, Vaseline, Gloves, Baby Wipes, Paper Towels, Bute, Banamine, Shavings, Mare & Foal Pellets, syringes, needles, Colostrum (IGG) for the new born babies, Foal Response, French Clay, bandages, thermometers, scissors, baby halters, baby blankets, and the list goes on. If anyone would like to help us get ready for foal season, you can order off of Valley Vet or Fosters and Smith or Chewey.com. I still have to get the 2 stallions gelded and the goat's leg amputated, and we need to be ready for the babies BEFORE they get here. Little Annie Oakley says she would love some more Foal Lac Pellets. She is starting to feel much better and her wormy belly is finally gone. Thank you so much for all the lives you saved in 2020 and before. It seems to be the norm that there is simply no "down time" anymore, and baby season is almost here.

ANOTHER 911 - LAST CALL FOR 2020!! THE DEADLINE HAS PASSED FOR THESE 2! LET'S GIVE THEM THE CHANCE TO LIVE IN 2021. THEY ARE DESPERATE, and the gelding's story will make you cry. It literally made us ill. :( I had to go on faith. Meet "TREASURE". The saying, "One man's trash is another man's Treasure" is beyond true. TREASURE was "THAT HORSE". He was the bomb proof, been there - done that horse. The one you could put any kid on. The one you put the visitors on, knowing that no matter how they rode or what they did to him, the horse would take care of them through thick and thin. He was the RANCH HORSE that worked for years. TREASURE was literally the perfect horse, UNTIL - He could no longer work. After 20 some years of perfect service, he no longer "had a purpose", so he was thrown away like trash. When the shipper wouldn't even take him due to his poor condition, he decided that if he didn't get what he wanted he would just leave him out to die. He was not going to waste money and feed him through the winter. He was not even going to waste a bullet..... TREASURE is starved, weak and so full of worms I don't even know if he will make it. He is exhausted and the first thing I am going to do is get his bloodwork done. Please say a prayer for him. He is so tired and so sad. He still doesn't understand he is truly loved. MEET "SMURF". She is the old lady that was shipping to slaughter. She was lucky we could save her, because I received the info that she was a "done deal" and had no chance. Another "miracle for a mustang". She is 18ish?, a total sweetheart and did not need to end up on a dinner plate somewhere. Saving these 2 lives is our "Last Hurrah" for 2020. Let's end it with victory and save these precious lives! Treasure is going to need vetted asap, and will need all of us to pull together for him. Christmas is at her new home and all settled in. Noel is with me, and sadly lost about 150 # before we could get her. She will also need lots of TLC! I did manage to get our beautiful Annie Oakley home, in spite of the weather and incorrect forecast. I am so thankful to the folks that cared for her until I could get her. She is in better condition than when she came in, but still in horrible shape. She is extremely thin, very wormy and they literally picked 100's and 100's of ticks off of her. The ticks nearly killed her, and the worms are trying to finish the job. She HAS been dewormed, but is still in extremely poor health. So we are *wrapping up 2020 with the usual 911 calls and desperate situations! PLEASE help us save these kids.* _A quick personal note - I found out I have had Fybromyalgia for some time now. Sadly it explains why I have had such an increase in the chronic pain. Hopefully it won't have much affect on my rescue, but prayers are greatly appreciated! I guess being partially crippled and having an existing disease that causes chronic pain just wasn't enough. (haha) But I know God has a plan and He will keep me going! I will keep fighting as long as I can, and I hope y'all will keep fighting with me!_ This is the link to our 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!

Merry Christmas! This is a personal email, straight from my breaking heart. I simply have no other ideas on how to help Koda get to the hospital and for his parents to have what they need to get through this. Just wanted to let y'all know what is happening with Koda, my 7 month old grandson. He needs urgent surgery, (in the next few days) to correct the issues he is having. His bones fused to quickly in his head, causing a condition that puts pressure on his brain and causes issues with his eyesight. UC Davis wants to do the surgery immediately. His Dad is working full time and gets all the overtime he can. However, they are living paycheck to paycheck. Travis, (his dad) was coughing at work, so they sent him home with no pay, and now he is off work until he gets clear results on his Covid test. I live on a very small fixed income, or I would help them. So I am asking anyone who is so inclined to donate even $2. Every little bit adds up and they simply do not have enough funds to travel back and forth to the hospital. Thank you for helping my beautiful grandson. It is so scary, and not being able to help with the simplest needs is heartbreaking. Please say a prayer for this precious baby and his Mom and Dad. Thank you, Palomino aka Lauri Below is the "after" of what they will do during surgery. They are cutting him open from ear to ear so they can access the area they need to fix. We save so many horses, but this is in a completely different stratosphere. This is my beautiful grandson. How do you even begin to tell him not to be scared, and try and explain why it hurts so badly. Please say lots of prayers for him. Thank you.  -<You can go to gofundme>-

ANOTHER 911 FOR A NEWLY ORPHANED BABY! Annie Oakley is approximately 4 weeks old, and yesterday her Mama and band were ripped away from this little baby. Sadly, she was the only survivor, and the rest of her band was loaded onto the slaughter truck. She was pulled, but still needs your help! Annie is only a month old, so she will need lots of milk money for her Foal Lac Powder and Foal Lac Pellets as she grows. I am working on getting her paid for, vetted and bringing her home. She is the perfect companion for Tucker while his leg heals. We are still working on our hay fund raiser and the vet bills (which were close to $2,000) from the last 2 groups. We ended up with 29 this last time, and I am so grateful that we have more babies getting adopted. The coffers are low and the calls are not stopping. We also have 2 wild stallions waiting to be gelded, a goat facing a leg amputation, and Lady Love waiting on her eye surgery. The calls never end, so the pleas for your love and support continue as well. Please help us save her, get all the injured vetted and the boys gelded, and help us navigate this winter and keep on saving lives.

UPDATE ON THE FAB 5 LOL I am closing this rescue trip with the beautiful LADY LOVE. She is a slaughter intercept, and is blind in one eye. Her eye is a hot mess, and very painful. Doc checked it and said most likely I will have to have it removed when I get home. She already has a potential adopter, and is very sweet. I was about to head home. Y'all had saved 18, 14 were adopted, and I had the perfect trailer load home. 2 adults and 6 babies. Suddenly, 2 days later, I have 19 to take home. This turned into a 29 horse rescue. I need to get home, but am waiting on another trailer and the new paperwork for the latest group. Thank you to everyone who has donated. I realize that funds are really tight, and I so appreciate any and all donations. We still have quite a ways to go to finish paying the hay bill, cover the last vet bill which was over $1000+ for the first 18 Coggins, and now we just did another 11 blood draws. I know God has this and that is why I keep on plugging away, even when it seems like it is just too much, especially being here by myself. I also want to THANK EVERYONE for the love and support. I could not do this without y'all. More thanks to all the ladies (and Danny Dustin lol) who continue to step up and help find homes and keep me grounded. I am so thankful for all of it. Please stay safe. help if you can, say a prayer and have a wonderful holiday! THANK YOU to each and every one of you who has stepped up to donate, share, say a prayer and just send your love and support. You make this work, you save all the lives. So THANK YOU!!

ANOTHER 911 - URGENT CALL FROM THE SHIPPER! - There are currently FIVE MORE (5) orphans sitting on the scales at the shippers. I acted on FAITH and made an appointment for vetting tomorrow. However, I have already had to turn down different groups due to dwindling finances. Before I can say YES to saving these 5 (and probably more), I have to know that we can afford to safely save them. The last group I had to turn down is being shared on our pages. Luckily some of them are finding homes. However, I CANNOT commit if I cannot take care of them. Many of these colts are "shipping size". Most likely they would be trampled in the trailer by the big horses, but if not, they will be be slaughtered. LET'S SAVE THE "FAB FIVE". THESE BABIES NEED YOUR HELP ASAP! THE CLOCK IS RUNNING OUT QUICKLY! I am also standing by for horses from another catcher.. PLEASE help save these precious lives. Out of the last 18, 14 have already been adopted and are simply waiting for their paperwork to get here so they can go home. We need to save this last group. I need to get back to NV, but am willing to stay long enough to get these last ones vetted and ready to go. The clock is ticking! PLEASE SAVE THEM! Sadly, we are still a long ways off from having enough funds to pay for the hay. Please remember that part of saving them is feeding them until they can be adopted. THANK YOU to each and every one of you who has stepped up to donate, share, say a prayer and just send your love and support. You make this work, you save all the lives. So THANK YOU!!

Yet another 911 for 9 babies tomorrow and 10?, possible more on Thursday. I literally have tears in my eyes as I type this. But God says He will never give us more than we can handle. (I feel like I am getting close though.) I WAS TOLD TO EXPECT 19 more babies - MINIMUM, and we all know there are usually always more when I get there......... It is almost too much to bear. Honestly I am exhausted, and I need to get ready for winter at the rescue. I wasn't even home 24 hours before I got the call. The fact is though, with YOUR HELP, we CAN save them, so it makes it really, really, hard to just "stay home" because I am exhausted and funds are too low. There are 9 more babies at the shipper's RIGHT NOW! I have to say yes and have less than 24 hours to take delivery of the first 9. These babies simply have NO WHERE ELSE TO GO! No bullets, no knives. We need to save them. Driving back to WA and doing this rescue is honestly the LAST thing I want to do right now. I have only been home for a minute. However, I know they were put in front of us because we CAN save them with your help. As some of you may have seen my fundraiser for the hay delivery, I am sure you are aware how tight funds are. But I have FAITH, and I HAVE FAITH that someone out there wants these babies saved!. So I am asking on behalf of these babies for folks to come together once again and donate anything you can. I do NOT want to say yes to the first group, and not save the next group. Sadly, chances are that there will be more by the time I get there. Food is scarce and the horses are down low, which is making them easy to trap. It has been an amazingly successful year of saved horses heading to new homes. So many people have worked so hard. Let's give these babies something to celebrate on Thanksgiving. Let's give them LIFE!

(I can't believe I didn't do this years ago, but it is so fun to see the horses, babies and critters that are enjoying and thriving in their new lives. Now that I am finally home, I am behind on chores, and the NUMBER 1 NEED is to fill the barn with hay, and get the horses settled and cared for. I have approximately 30? horses and babies at Chilly Pepper and one more trailer will be here Saturday. Some of these are already adopted and just waiting for transport to get to their new homes, and others are waiting for their permanent homes. Sadly, when I finally drove in, I could see we are in desperate need of hay. Due to the fires, there is already beginning to be a shortage of hay, so I am looking to buy a semi load. I am also looking at gelding horses and have many needing their hoofers trimmed. I am beyond exhausted, but ever so grateful YOU stepped up and helped me save all those lives. So many women are coming together to help find homes and make these saves "successful". I am so grateful to God. So once again I am going on Faith. How can I not when He helped us save these last two groups AND most of them are in loving homes. So once again, I am asking anyone who is so inclined, to help make sure these horses have feed all winter. We do have quite a few special needs, "permanent residents", and they also think they should eat and get their expensive medicine each and every day. Thank you for the love and support. I have been doing this alone for quite awhile now, which makes it a bit harder, but I have noticed that God always has me. So many people make this happen!!

THE CALLS WON'T QUIT! 2 MORE VERY WILD, PREGNANT MARES WITH WEANLINGS ON THEIR SIDE! I HAVE TO GIVE AN ANSWER RIGHT AWAY! These mares AND THEIR BABIES NEED YOU NOW! We have nearly enough funds to get the ones you just saved, vetted and to start heading home. However, I cannot bear the thought of the mares and weanlings loading onto a slaughter truck, especially as they are well into their pregnancies. Let's add them to the mix and save their lives! WILL YOU HELP SAVE THE MAMA'S TOO? THEY NEED BAIL, FUNDS FOR VETTING AND TRANSPORT, AND THEY PROBABLY WANT TO BE FED AND CARED FOR AS WELL! I need more funds to responsibly save them! I was able to get all the babies/weanlings ( ended up with 11). However, once again there was a special "REASON" I COULDN'T LEAVE. Below is "REASON's" story. She is the sad mare at the top of the page. Her neck is permanently scarred from being roped and she is so terrified of being hurt. She is halter trained and stands calmly, although she is sure you will smack her if you get close to her head. She is the most odd looking little girl at this point, but with proper food and exercise who knows what she will end up looking like. Regardless, she deserves a safe place to land. Her story is below if you enjoy reading. As we drove into the lot to pick up the babies, I noticed another truck and trailer pulling in. My stomach dropped as I looked into the eyes of a very scared young(?) horse. I am the last one allowed to save babies out of this yard, and it is because I am professional and keep my mouth shut. Although my heart was breaking and my stomach churning even more than usual, we loaded up the babies and headed out. As we were leaving, they unloaded "REASON". She was very quiet as she was led to the next step on the journey towards her death. Her eyes were white with terror and she was trembling from head to toe. The closer we got to camp, the more I couldn't breathe. Her face and eyes stayed with me and as I started to cry I made the call. She may never be ridable, but she did not deserve the horrible end she was headed to. Her face already had bites from the other horses and she was a sad mess when we got to her. She has permanent roping scars on her neck and has every expectation that she is going to be hurt when you walk up. She is the sweetest thing I have ever seen and her little heart and soul are broken. But there is a light deep in the back of her eyes. I have to think she was one of the main "REASON's" I could not go home. If we had not pulled in at that exact moment in time, her fate would have been very different. Sometimes God makes me wait to see "why", and other times he makes it so clear. We also had Baby Boo, who only has 2 little, teeth top and bottom. She is going to a wonderful lady we work with. She, along with her vet, will give the mare 2 shots and Boo will have a real mommy. The other babies are just as precious. YOUR MONEY ALWAYS GOES RIGHT WHERE IT SHOULD! THANK YOU FOR SAVING ALL OF THESE PRECIOUS LIVES! I DO NEED MORE HELP if I am going to be able to afford the 2 pregnant mares and their babies. THANK YOU FROM ALL OF THEM!!! PLEASE REMEMBER, I NEVER want anyone to donate more than they can comfortably afford. Those who have already donated, LIFTED PRAYERS, SHARED THE INFORMATION, I THANK YOU, AND BLESS YOUR BEAUTIFUL HEARTS! The DESPERATE DOZEN thank you for you saving their lives. They are all adorable! # 12 is REASON, shown above. I don't know why there were only 11 babies on arrival, their could have simply been a miscount as all the horses were bunched together. I am praying that is the reason. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HELPING US SAVE MORE LIVES, YOU CAN GO TO:

(These are babies you saved prior, so imagine it was them - we have to save them.) I WAS LITERALLY LOADED AND HEADING HOME WHEN I GOT THE 911! CLOCK IS LITERALLY TICKING! I HAVE ONLY HOURS TO COMMIT! Shipper called - ANOTHER DOZEN or so babies I have hours to commit to. ALL of the last 18 from this current rescue are safe and adopted. PTL! I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT WANT TO TURN AROUND. I literally have tears sneaking out of my eyes. I need to get back home. However, I know that God wanted me to save these, or I would have gotten the call an hour or more into the trip. The fact that I got it just as we were leaving makes it pretty clear that I am meant to save these! The coffers are nearly empty, I still have 9 babies at home, along with the other 20 or so horses at the rescue, and I NEED YOUR HELP NOW IF I AM GOING TO BE ABLE TO SAVE THESE LAST PRECIOUS LIVES. It's simple, I literally cannot afford to save these babies without your help! I need funds to pay for Ranch Care, Bail for the Babies, Vetting and hauling to get them safely home. I need to buy winter hay and the list goes on. I have to be responsible, and I am having faith in y'all because I know this is God's plan, and I know you don't want these babies to die. I do have to be careful and make sure I can properly take care of every horse we save! I never want anyone to donate more than they can afford, but I don't mind if you skip your latte! lol One happy baby :) says THANK YOU!!   911 FOR 19 MORE LIVES!! ANOTHER CALL FROM THE SHIPPER AND THE CATCHERS! 16 MORE BABIES AND A RARE CHANCE TO SAVE 3 PREGNANT MARES! (We are still in the middle of rescuing the 27, and I NEED MORE HELP TO SAVE ALL OF THESE LIVES! Thankfully we have had some wonderful adoptions and I am down to 6 babies with me now, as well as the 9 babies in Golconda with the rest of the kids. Both Strawberry and the abused TB are safe and sound in their new homes. PTL! We have had some significant injuries in the last group, and the vet bills take a huge chunk of the donations. One of the HIDDEN COSTS of rescue are Brand Inspections. I spent over $660 in the last few weeks for a simple piece of paper that is required for every horse. But most people have no idea that we spend so much money on these. Legally it is required, and it hurts badly as it eats into the budget. __ As you can see in the photo, this mare was desperate to escape. They are terrified and cannot understand why they are suddenly trapped. (Not to mention what they have been through during the roundups.) It is supposed to be the end of the catching season. Today, I was sent pictures of these mares. PLEASE DO NOT LET THEIR FACES HAUNT ME FOREVER! I truly need a break, but these lives were put in front of me for a reason. Obviously it is God's plan for us to try and save them. I cannot do it without you. Please make this happen! The clock is ticking..... I NEED YOUR HELP TO SAVE THESE PRECIOUS LIVES! The mares are very thin and very pregnant. I cannot stand the thought of them on the slaughter truck. I know it is easy to run on "faith" when things are a bit difficult, but it is even more important to trust in the really hard times, or it doesn't mean anything. So I am trusting we can raise the funds we need to purchase all 19 OF THE NEW GROUP OF horses AND to get them vetted, hauled home to safety and fed and cared for until they have found their forever homes. I HAVE TO RAISE ENOUGH FUNDS TO RESPONSIBLY RESCUE THESE lives. They all need to be fed and cared for after they are saved. This mare is extremely thin, and very pregnant. Let's get her to safety so she can get her groceries and have her baby in peace, not have it ripped out and thrown onto the slaughter floor. She needs your help now!

I AM AT 27 AND MORE TO COME??? DO I SAY YES TO THE REST? IT'S UP TO YOU. THEY NEED YOUR HELP NOW!10/8/2020  STILL MORE BABIES NEED YOUR HELP!! This rescue is at 27 so far, and still growing. Catchers are running like crazy before the bad weather hits. Do I tell them, YES or No? It's up to you! THE NUMBERS RIGHT NOW ARE AT 27 - 23 BABIES, 1 Pregnant wild mare, the other abused wild TB mare, and still working on the pony. 5 of those are still at the Shipper's, which pretty much guarantees by the time they are "ready to go", there will be more. So far, there has NEVER been a pickup that didn't have more babies. I appreciate every penny that has been donated. Sadly, if I am going to be able to save ALL these precious lives, the horses simply need more help. It is kind of terrifying to think about so many mouths to feed etc. However, our wonderful adoption coordinator has found homes for 6 of the babies and I have both mares adopted out as well. I still have 9 babies in Golconda, and winter is coming. I am willing do the work, but I need your help for the funding. I want to send out a big thank you to Matt. He came up from Texas to fix my water lines and decided to come and help me on this rescue before heading to CA. He has been a big blessing and it was nice to not be here on my own this time. For the folks who feel like reading, I wanted to share a day in the life of a rescue with y’all. It is pretty much the reality of what it is like to do this work. This morning I woke up, ran to town for supplies, spent a couple hours with an amazing adopter, picked up more orphaned foals, fed, watered and vetted the ones with injuries and finally sat down. As I write this, the reality sets in. I have a beautiful camp site where I have my “temporary corrals” set up. My veggies are simmering in butter over the fire, and it is so beautiful out. The air is soft and clear, and as the music plays, my heart swells thinking of how beautiful everything is. I try to enjoy as much as I can each, and every day and appreciate what is in front of me. Reality is the knife that comes deep in my heart. The beauty tonight is pierced by the horrors that brought me here. Although I have made this the absolute best “home away from home” I possibly can, the night is pierced by the screams of babies torn away from their Mamas and their families. Their anguished, wailing cries, hanging heads and beat up bodies show the horrors of what just happened. The absolutely, bewildered look in the eyes of these broken babies rips out your heart. At this very moment, their moms, brothers, sisters, and dads are crushed in a slaughter truck, able to make no sense of what happened. Days ago, they were running free, and tonight they are kicked and bitten as too many of them are crammed together in the truck of death. I am so grateful to have a place to set up and take care of these broken souls, and as most of you know I spend weeks living in “camp” in my horse trailer so I can save these babies, pregnant mares, old stallions and anyone else God throws into the mix. But listening to these babies scream for their mama’s all night long, is ripping my heart out. As the tears stream down my face, the pain is so physical it nearly makes me ill. This was NOT my dream, to be buried in the sewer that is the slaughter world. But God puts it in front of me, so this IS my world. It isn’t bad enough that only yesterday as I drove here, I was up to 16 weanlings, not including the pregnant mare, the other crazed, injured and abused wild mare, and the bratty pony. TODAY, I picked up 6 instead of 4, and there are ANOTHER 5 at the Shipper’s. So today’s number is 23, NOT 16, and that is just the babies. Every day it seems to grow…… When I think about trying to explain the need for help, it is simply overwhelming. I so say “no” all the time, but when I am the only thing standing between death and these babies, I have to give it my all. Honestly, I am beyond tired. I want to cry I am so tired. Emotionally, physically I am exhausted. But I cannot have that negative energy with these babies. They need to feel safe and like they are loved. So I sit here wondering how much more I can take. I know God won’t give us more than we can handle, but sometimes I wonder how tough He thinks I really am. _This is my evening. Trying to make the best of the situation put in front of me. Wondering how soon everyone would quit reading the sad news that I spout as I try to save these precious lives. So many 911’s and emergencies. THIS IS MY LIFE ON THE FRONT LINE!_ Listening to the heartbreaking screams of the babies. Knowing their families are rattling around in a slaughter bound trailer, terrified, and missing their babies. Yet I have to struggle on, because if I quit, all of these lives will be lost, and not in a humane fashion. Once again saving ALL of these souls depends on you, my Chilly Pepper Family. YOU are the Angels that make it happen. The chance of it only being 27 is nearly impossible, but one can hope. Thank you for saving so many lives!
