We are her only hope. PLEASE HELP ME SAVE MYSTIC! She will need blanket(s), and lots of special groceries. She will also need the normal vetting, hauling etc. She can come live with Grandma in the "Mash Pen" IF WE CAN SAVE HER! She will need LONG TERM care, and definitely some blood work and vetting.

 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. (Or here already - if you ask Annie, lol).

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!

The clock is ticking, and I need to commit. So now we have the CHRISTMAS CREW - PLUS 2- plus 2 2 Mares and their 2 unborn babies.

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!

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!

TRAWBERRY, the pregnant roan mare has been saved, along with 8 of the babies. THANK YOU to each and every one of you who helped save them! THERE ARE STILL 4 MORE BABIES PLUS THE 2 that I JUST GOT CALLED ON (while I was typing this). I need to commit to the babies, and we now have this sad little pony and the injured mare on the "URGENT - CLOCK HAS RUN OUT" list. WILL YOU HELP SAVE THE REST OF THEM? I am hoping and praying this is NOT the time I have to leave horses behind. I know I cannot save the world, and I say "no" constantly, but this rescue is drawing out and I need to know if we can come up with enough funds to save ALL OF THEM! This poor mare has been given a bum rap. She was mishandled, horribly abused and now is simply terrified if too much pressure is put on her. Her baby was just stripped away and now she is being thrown away. She was also injured. She does not deserve to die! So many times people only want the baby, and somehow there is an excuse to throw away Mama. Let's show her that HER LIFE MATTERS! These are some of the kids you have saved already during this ongoing rescue! Thank you so much for each and every one of their lives.

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

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

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

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

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

TODAY - 911 CALLS from TRAPPER & THE SHIPPER. UPWARDS OF 8? BABIES and THAT IS JUST TODAY! FUNDS NEEDED ASAP TO SAVE THESE!  More babies and a rare chance to save a beautiful stallion. They need YOU to save their lives. I received a call from the shipper and one of the catchers today. Sadly, our coffers are close to empty. I still need about $5000 to cover the latest group's shipping, vetting and to pay the wonderful folks who are taking care of the critters and our special needs kids in NV, while I am up here rescuing. I realize the groups are running together, (believe me, I want to go home...) But as usual, in the middle of the last 20+ rescued, as I wait for paperwork I get another call for more. MORE BABIES need us NOW! I have to give the catcher and trapper an answer by tomorrow to see if we can take on the new ones in front of us. We need to save the stallion too. LET'S SAVE THEM ALL!! I realize the pandemic has wiped out so much income and caused so much hardship, and I so appreciate every penny that has been donated. However, I can only rescue as many critters as I have funds for. I need to raise the funds to finish this last group (we still have 12 available for adoption) and then have enough to safely and responsibly save this next group. I will keep going as long as I can, but right now I cannot responsibly say yes to more horses without your help and commitment! WILL YOU HELP ME SAVE THEM? Just this morning they were with their families. Tonight, alone but together, they scream for their Mama's and their band. Please help us give them the gift of life. I asked, and there is no where else for them to go, and we all know what that means. Some sad/glad news, we had to say goodbye to Ranger today. Ranger was a supposed 20 year old that y'all saved years ago. In reality he was 30 ish at the time and he has spent the last years in absolute heaven on earth with a wonderful family and their 3 kids. He has been a special needs and on mash and this morning I had to say goodbye. He had the most beautiful ending to his life, but it still hurts and it broke my heart. THIS is a big part of what y'all do. You not only save lives, but you give these animals the most precious gift possible, by allowing them to be loved and spoiled the last years of their lives.

Since my last update, including this little angel, y'all saved 12 babies lives!!!!!** AS ALWAYS, the calls KEEP COMING! The new number is 12, YES - ANOTHER 12, and I am currently on standby for babies from 2 other catchers. So most likely by the time vetting would come, I will be even more buried. DO I tell him yes? Their Mom's and Dad's literally just loaded onto a slaughter truck, and I need to be able to say YES to all of them!! This will put Vetting, coggins and paperwork in the multiple thousands. DO WE, our CHILLY PEPPER FAMILY - SAVE THEM??? I cannot do this without raising funds to pay for them, feed them, etc. etc. I honestly would rather crawl into a hole and not talk to anyone or see anyone. I lost my beautiful "Little Miracle Girl". It hurts so much and it is like she literally climbed into my soul. She certainly crawled physically into me.. More heartbreak - I simply do not have words that will do this beautiful girl justice. She survived predators, ie bears, cougars, coyotes and a harsh environment with little feed and water. Her whole life must have been excruciating, except for the last 4 days she was with me. Thankfully she had pain meds and oh so much love. All she wanted was to be in my lap. She literally would try to crawl into me and was ALWAYS nuzzling my knee. It was as if she knew that we shared the same excruciating type of pain, although hers had to be worse. She was a completely wild filly on Sunday and could kick like a pro. We bonded the second our eyes met. It sounds funny, but if you look at her in the pictures it is like we were together forever. Sadly, when the vet took x-rays BOTH of her joints had huge broken pieces of bone floating around. It had to be beyond excruciating. Add that to her pneumonia and swollen joints (which ended up being septic), her life could hardly have been more painful. I was so not expecting this. Her pneumonia was a thousand times better, and she wanted life so badly. It was an excruciating decision, but the ONLY RIGHT DECISION FOR HER. All I can do is crawl out of my hole and save the next 12 in her honor. My beautiful girl took so much of my heart with her. THANK YOU EVERYONE who gave her a chance. She had the heart of a lion and if we didn't have the bone chips we could have at least fought longer. At least if you look at her photo's it is obvious how loved she felt and at peace, knowing she was being helped. I treasure every second I had with her, but now I have to fight for the new ones to honor her spirit.  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HELPING US SAVE MORE LIVES, YOU CAN GO TO:

A SHARP KNIFE - OR A CHANCE AT LIFE? ANOTHER EMERGENCY CALL, - MORE BABIES? WHICH ONES DO WE SAVE?8/16/2020 Where to even start. Above - MY LITTLE MIRACLE GIRL Another 911 call this morning. Would I give this little girl a chance?? When she was brought in off the range, the choices were a sharp knife or give her a chance with me. We have seen worse legs that healed, legs that looked better but did not heal, but never have I seen such a healthy little girl with such a fighting attitude. I had to say yes. Yesterday I was looking at 8 babies, heading out to pick up 3 more and wondering how on earth I could say yes to all of them. Once again it was on faith. Faith that someone will skip a coffee and send that money. I know Covid has changed our world and funds are tight, but we funds are nowhere near where we need to be. Vetting the 13 that are in front of me is going to be hideously expensive. We have several babies with injuries, most of them I can treat, but at least one of them will need surgery and of course this little one will need some veterinary intervention and I will treat her under my vet. MY LITTLE MIRACLE GIRL needs a miracle, and I have every intention of fighting with her as long as she wants. LOOK at how beautiful she is. That big toned butt, her shiny coat. This little girl wants to thrive to survive. As always, I am on the front lines and it is one emergency after another. It is exhausting and my silly shoulder is not working so that adds an extra special element of fun to the whole rescue. I wonder sometimes if that is why God sends me the worst cases, because I can relate??? Anyway, as usual the success of the rescue is in your hands. THANK YOU for doing so much to save so many lives. Please say a prayer for "My Little Miracle Girl". She needs so many. Reba is struggling so we are changing up her feed and running more blood work. I have also had another sort of rescue put in front of me. There is a starving Mama kitty and 4? out of 5 babies left? So I am also working on trapping them. Apparently the local dogs have been killing the cats left and right and "taking care of the issue". So prayers that I can trap them and we can get them fixed and homed. THANK YOU EVERYONE who is part of this ongoing journey to save God's creatures. There are simply no words to express my appreciation. Y'all Rock!
