 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!
