"BANDIT", shown above, needs your help today!!. Although we are on standby for more babies, I couldn't ignore this beautiful boy. Seeing the despair in his eyes, and knowing that we can not only change that, but keep him off the slaughter truck sent me running to the computer. (Ok, so I can barely walk, but y'all know what i mean.) In all seriousness though, the clock is ticking...
I had to make an immediate decision, so once again I based it on faith. Faith that my Chilly Pepper Family will step up and make it possible to save not only him, but the 3 year old pony who was also scheduled to ship to slaughter. However, we can't do it without y'all making it happen. Our budget is tapped out, and at this point, we simply don't have funds to save these kids Please help us save them. It is absolutely "baby time", but every single life matters, and when God puts a certain one in front of us, I have to try and do everything I can to help. So Please, help me, help him. Can you imagine how horrible just the trip to the slaughter plant would be in his condition? And then what would be waiting for him? It isn't right, and since he and the little pony are "in front of us", let's save their lives too. The babies are all hanging in there. Most of them have had scours and been sick at some point, and Goldilocks is still really struggling, as some of the others are. I have another vet bill for about $1500+, and between all the babies, there have been lots of vet visits. We are going through milk at a crazy pace, and so appreciate any and all help with these ongoing expenses. As always, the Chilly Pepper Family Rocks! Thank you!! Below, the SNOW BABIES y'all saved!!

 There are so many emergencies, but THIS IS BEYOND AN EMERGENCY. The babies have been dying left and right, and we need to know right now if folks are going to step up and help us save them. It's hard to know where to start. I was contacted and asked if Chilly Pepper will take on these fragile foals. However, due to the extremely dangerous conditions the folks are catching in, the price is $300. (We pay more than that for horses all the time), but there could be up to 16? or MORE???? coming in by tomorrow. So just for bail I would need $4800. Each baby will take a minimum of $300 in milk powder the first month, and that does not include anything. So milk powder alone will be close to $5,000. and that is just the start. I HAD TO COMMIT to the newborns strictly on FAITH!! But after 11 of the first 12 we were on stand by for died, I cannot in good conscience say no. So I have committed to another 4 that will be here shortly. But if folks want us to have a chance to save the other 10 they have seen stranded in the snow, with their starving families and moms with no milk, we have to raise enough funds and quickly. IF they bring another 10 tomorrow, that is $3000 we have to have, or the babies won't survive. Again, we pay more than that for a horse/baby all the time. It is just so scary when they are coming all at once. So I need folks to step up now and let me know if we should try and save the 10 tomorrow, and I need desperately for folks to help us purchase,vet and take care of the ones we will have tonight. It is so hard to have to keep asking for help, but we simply cannot do this without y'all. Yesterday I was called to help a mare that was tangled in barbed wire. I went with another guy who had also been asked to help. He and his buddy went ahead of me, and I got all the medical supplies. The biggest heartbreak was that she was so starved it was worth fighting a barbed wire fence to try and find food that SIMPLY DOES NOT EXIST OUT THERE. Her injuries were not the worst of it. She lay for too long in the freezing snow and ice, and it was too much for her. So she had to be "dispatched". We have never ever had to deal with a situation like this. So I need to know, do I say YES for tomorrow? At this point I cannot risk anymore funds than I already have tonight. We are getting into hay money, but I can't let two new babies freeze to death when I know that y'all are so amazing and would want to save them. So Please Donate Generously. As always, I do this for free, but the babies need money for feed, care and vetting, not to mention getting them to safety. I leave this in your hands, and am praying we can save the others that are stranded out there.. Cinderella, shown above, was rescued from a very likely snowy grave. She is here now and receiving the care she needs. PLEASE HELP NOW! Below you can clearly see how much snow is around. It is covering many of the barbed wire fences, and that shows not only how deep it is, but one of the reasons these rescues are so dangerous.

The emergency call came in a few hours ago. So now I am packing the truck and trailer and we are heading to WA tomorrow. COPPER'S CHANCE arrived at Mama Mel's Urgent Care Nursery, (our satellite facility in Toppenish, WA) just about the time I received the call. Matt and I were on a supply run, so now that we are finally home, we are loading everything and heading out tomorrow. COPPER'S CHANCE is truly a miracle. Out of the 12 babies that were spotted stuck in the snow with their bands, 9 or more have passed from the brutal conditions. The status of the other 2 babies is unknown this evening, but there will be more coming home to Chilly Pepper, whether it is this trip or next week? COPPER is already a thousand dollar baby. By the time we purchase this beautiful little girl, pay the EMERGENCY VET BILL, and get there to pick her up, we will have over a thousand dollars invested in this little girl. This past year has been filled with brutal heartbreak. Cleaning up after others who neglected and abused animals is often too much. But today we have a chance to help save this baby. She is hypothermic, dehydrated and is very thin. Her poor Mama was giving her baby everything she had, and the mare may not even survive. The rescue was treacherous and dangerous, and every thing possible, is being done to help these wild horses. At least now, both mama & baby have a chance. Copper would most likely not have survived another evening, which is clear by her condition. Her mama had no milk, and needs every bit of what she has to possibly survive. This is just the beginning. We have been shopping for milk and the supplies we need, but we are far from where we need to be to "git 'er done". We know there are more babies dropping all the time, and you can see many, many, heavily pregnant mares standing in the deep snow,. We want to thank EVERYONE who has been donating and making it possible to accomplish what we have up til now. But IT IS GO TIME! These babies are going to need even more care than normal. Mama Mel is setting up in our warm, insulated nursery and will be taking care of COPPER'S CHANCE until I can get there. I should be there tomorrow evening. She is getting warm milk, being offered munchies and has received warm IV fluids, and other meds. Her journey will be a long one, but hopefully she was saved in time. THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR THESE HORSES! YOU HAVE SAVED SO MANY! PLEASE LET'S CONTINUE THIS AMAZING, LIFE SAVING JOURNEY TOGETHER! PLEASE donate now & save another life!

So to honor our beautiful little Star Fire, we suck up the pain and continue to fight to save more lives.* We were hoping to have a bit more time to prepare for the babies, but we received an urgent call regarding the babies in WA. Many of the locals near Mama Mel's Urgent Care Nursery (our satellite in Toppenish WA), have reported more than one group of horses stranded in the deep snow. There are drifts over 4 feet high in places and the horses have had little to no food for weeks now. *There were AT LEAST 12 babies from newly born, up to a month in age when we got the first call.. Sadly, since the first update 2 days ago, at least 9? babies are dead, and the circling vultures tell the gruesome tail. We were told there were predators waiting in the background, and the mares are struggling to keep the birds from eating their tiny, frozen, dead, babies. Some of the babies that died appear to have Mom's who are in semi decent shape. Most likely the extreme cold took them when they lay down to rest. (We saw alot of that in SD. Babies need to lay down, and when it is that cold and they are weak, they don't have a chance.) We have been apprised that we could get foals at any time and to be ready. No matter what folks take on the long term care of the orphans, MAMA MEL'S URGENT CARE NURSERY is the first place they will go. She is the only one who is on site and can start the urgent care they need. Some of the hidden costs are as follows: Seramune Equine IgG (Colostrum replacer for $105. each). Critical babies are also given Foal Response, which is $12.69 per dose, and the Equine Coli Endotox (E Coli), and each does of that is $27.49. All these can be ordered through Valley Vet, and they are medicines most folks do not even know we need. These are just a few of the hidden costs that most people never see. I need to place an order for 10 each of the meds, and 3 bottles of Colostrum. The total is $719.65, and we need to order it asap so it arrives on time. We also have an order of other meds coming from the vet (hopefully in time), and I do not have the total cost of that yet. There are so many behind the scenes expenses. These babies will need critical care, and we need to purchase more supplies asap. We will need additional meds, more colostrum (which is $100+ a baby), milk replacer, more blankets, heaters etc. so we can even begin to start taking proper care of the babies that are expected. We have one nursery building set up, and it is very likely that we will see a large number of babies at once. So although we have a warm place for them to receive round the clock care, we will still need to finish getting all the needed supplies. I am prepping to head to WA at a moment's notice, and there are others we work with who are also prepping in case they are needed. Mama Mel's Urgent Care Nursery, is the ONLY thing standing between life and death for many of these little ones. We have been told we could possibly be receiving foals anytime (assuming they can survive) Once they are here there is no time to wait for supplies. The price for these foals will also be higher than normal as there is no way for folks to even reach them without renting snow equipment and hiring larger crews to help. There is no guarantee that this group of horses can even be accessed. Worst case scenario, no one will get saved? There is little to no chance the babies will continue to survive standing out in the freezing weather in snow that is often up to chest level on the adult horses. Mom's have very little milk, and there is no way to keep the little ones warm. We may not get orphans tonight, it could be tomorrow, the next day or next week. The bottom line is that we have to be ready the minute we are called. You have saved so many lives this last year. Funds that would have normally been used to finish setting up Mel's have gone instead to save more lives. But I know that was part of God's plans, and now it is "that time again". Baby season is here and they need our help. PLEASE NOTE: Our paypal is Palomino@chillypepper.org. The old account was closed, so we would really appreciate y'all using this one, especially for your monthly donations. You all are amazing. Thank You for being part of Chilly Pepper and for being part of our 2019 journey to keep saving lives.   My heart feels like it's bleeding as I write this. Our beautiful baby, Star Fire, crashed again yesterday morning, and this time it was clear she was finished fighting to stay with us.. When we were at the vet in CA, it was clear that we could "end her fight" based on the cost, her chances etc. _It reminded me of the 907 horses we sorted in South Dakota and how some folks kept telling me to "euthanize", (in my book "kill") the ones that needed extra help, might not be easy and would take a lot of time and effort, _ However, that is not what we do. One look in her eyes and I knew that we had to keep fighting with her. As we were leaving, the vet gave us a 50/50 chance. I made a promise when I started this. If God placed an animal in front of us, no matter what species, I would never fighting, because it was inconvenient, or might need some medical care. I promised to fight along side that critter as long as he or she wanted to fight. (Sadly, I do realize that there are times when my job is simply to provide comfort, love, and round the clock care.) This is one of the reasons we are asking for help today. We still had not covered the entire $2000 bill in CA. Add yesterday's emergency call, and due to some of the kids up in WA being sick, we have had additional costs due to numerous vet visits and those are still an issue. There were some wonderful folks who pledged generously and then for reasons I call "life", were unable to send the funds. So that was a little bit of a shock, and now the budget is much tighter than is comfortable. Between the unexpected costs, we are about $5000 short of where we should be, and that leaves no extra for setting up for the babies. We had to move the babies out of Mama Mel's, because we have simply not had enough funds, or time, to properly set up the nursery. (This is supposed to be our off season.) Although Mama Mel was fabulous in caring for the 11 weanlings, the weather has been brutal, to the point where cattle in the area have been dropping like flies from the weather, and we could not provide enough shelter etc. So we also have a bill for the babies being picked up and transported to where they are being boarded. Once again weather is an issue, but Matt will be heading back up in a couple days. The 2019 BABY SEASON is nearly upon us, and we simply are not ready. We need more shelter, pens and to start purchasing the milk, medicine and supplies that we will need. There is a huge chance that this year is going to be especially brutal. Folks are seeing the horses starving to death, as there has been so much snow. Pregnant moms are starving while carrying their foals. It is a big mess, and NOW IS THE TIME to get ready. Thank you for being there and for making it possible to save so many lives. As always, YOU are the reason we keep doing what we do. So please help us get caught up, and get ready for these precious babies. Please help us "git 'er done"!  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HELPING US SAVE MORE LIVES, YOU CAN GO TO:

YOU saved Artie!!!! Artie is with me in Shingletown and hopefully headed to NV soon. Sadly, we are currently in a "Nursery 911". Baby season is fast approaching, and although we have started to set up the nursery in Toppenish, we are devastatingly far behind. We need more shelter, more panels, Foal Lac Powder, Foal Lac Pellets, grain, medical supplies, shavings, hay for the babies, and the list is endless. When that phone rings, it is go time, and we won't have time to do anything but provide critical care. This year has been a nightmare of non-stop emergencies in the middle of another emergency. We need your help right away to get this nursery ready, and we need to fence in more space for the Devil's Garden horses we have to "babysit" in NV. We are praying a local rescue will step up to at least help with the Yakima foals. For now it is Chilly Pepper - Mama Mel's Urgent Care Nursery and the folks we work with to help place the babies. We cannot do this alone. It is way too much, and we are being called for more and more babies in NV. Matt and I will be delivering 12 of the Devil's Garden horses to the east coast. This was Matts gig, but we simply cannot mix newly gelded studs, with very pregnant mares. I don't mind doing the work, but we need to raise funds for fuel, travel etc. These are the wild horses being sold for $1 each - YES, ONE DOLLAR EACH and sold in lots of 34 horses? Hmmmm, sounds like a slaughter truck load to me. So between delivering the kids that are being adopted in Idaho, bringing home the 11 that are still at Mama Mel's, and getting the nursery ready in WA, we will be picking up the 12, then babysitting them until they can be transported back east, and doing our general baby season prep. SO FAR THERE IS ZERO FUNDING FOR my truck and trailer to get back East, expand the fencing, and to hire someone to take care of the ranch while we are gone. We need more panels to put up appropriate fencing for the Devil's Garden kids, so they can hang out at Chilly Pepper until we can safely transport them. We also need funds to feed the 12, and remember, 6 of them are heavily pregnant mares, and really enjoy their feed lol. Artie is safe. He definitely has a long way to go though. His lil hoofers are horrible, and he needs to be gelded immediately. He is an 11 year old stallion who was much loved, spoiled rotten and knows basically nothing except that he wants his own way. He kicks and bites if asked to do something he doesn't like or understand, but underneath it all, I believe he has heart of gold. I, of course, am madly in love with him :) Sweetheart and Star Fire are hanging in there. Star Fire is still barely here, but we are hopeful that day by day she will improve and she will be able to have a wonderful life. Her spine is still all jacked up, so we are going day by day with lots of prayers. Back in Golconda, two more horses left for their new homes. I am so grateful to have folks who can do whatever it is that needs done! We truly need your help to prep for baby season. The numbers have the potential to be astronomical, and we need a safe place, the right supplies and to be ready for these little ones. We have seen as many as 30 orphans from one catcher in a single day. Please help us "git 'er done"!  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HELPING US SAVE MORE LIVES, YOU CAN GO TO:

Another call - another life to save. Artie needs our help and he needs it now. Artie is a Thoroughbred - Percheron cross. Sounds like he could be a big boy. Artie has to be off the property immediately, and Animal Control is waiting in the wings. His owner cannot take him with her. She loves him dearly, but he needs special help right now. I believe he is approximately 11 years old? He is still a stallion and has been brutally traumatized, leaving him in a state where no one has been able to handle him. Dogs killed his pasture mates and there has been more trauma from nearby folks. He can not be haltered at this time, and Animal Control has indicated it is "now or never" from what I understand. He needs his hoofers trimmed badly, and none of the local farriers are willing to work with him anymore. As they are unable to halter him, he can not be handled or taken to a vet for sedation. Being a stallion that age, and not being afraid or respectful like a wild horse would be, he has the potential to be extremely dangerous if he is not handled carefully. He loves his mama, but sadly through no fault of her own, she cannot provide what he needs. This rescue will be expensive when you add up fuel, lodging, and everything else that goes along with this kind of rescue. As usual, we are willing to step up and do everything we can to save his life. It is going to be roughly 1600 miles driving in the middle of all of our other deliveries, and that is going to cost quite a bit not to mention special vetting, sedation, getting his hoofers trimmed, and whatever else we will need to be able to safely handle him for his much needed care. This beautiful boy needs our help. We were contacted specifically due to our experience and the fact that others have tried to do what needs to be done and have not been successful. So the question once again is...... CAN WE SAVE ARTIE? Matt and I are standing by and ready to roll. Apparently we are not quite tired enough, lol. But in all seriousness, WE ARE HIS LAST CHANCE.

YOU DID IT!! We rescued ALL 32 babies thanks to your love and support. Matt and I picked up 24 babies and brought them back to Chilly Pepper in Golconda. A friend of ours helped out by placing 8 in California, and babies are heading out to many different places. As always, we have incurred all the costs, so THANK YOU FOR SAVING THESE LIVES! UPDATE - STAR FIRE & SWEETHEART. Both these babies are in extremely critical condition. Poor Star Fire tried her best to crash this morning. She was not getting up and her body temperature was dangerously low. Thankfully, we were able to help her bounce back. But that is what these babies do. They are like roller coasters, and it is literally hour by hour at this point. So please say your prayers and if you can, help us provide the special care and feed that they need. Little things like running the heat lamps, tank heaters etc. can add a strain on the budget. We had the vet here two days ago getting the Pauite babies ready to travel. They really like to eat, and we are going through about $3800 a month for hay alone, taking care of the horses here. So we really appreciate any help any one wants to give to keep these little bellies full. Getting the Coggins (blood tests required for Health Certificates so horses can be adopted and travel) and helping Black Bandit go home to his Mama and the Angels also cost close to $1400. We have a lot of folks willing to help take on some of these babies, and of course 99% are Out of State, _but it is going to cost quite a bit to transport them. However, thankfully they will then be off of our books, as we still have 11 waiting for pickup in WA State. They had colds so could not travel prior to this._ As always, there seems to be heartbreak beyond bearing. One of our beautiful little colts had some extremely painful and serious injuries. We were prepared to try everything to save him, but it was not meant to be. The second he looked at me I fell in love with him. I honestly don't know how to deal with all this hurt, but there isn't time to stop. We still need to get the nursery set up in preparedness for the babies that will be coming in soon. I am also working on the end of year donation receipts. THANK YOU AGAIN for ALL YOU DO! YOU are the reason this rescue does so much. Matt and I could not do it without you. If y'all want to help us take care of these kids until they are placed, along with the other kids, we so appreciate it. We are praying for the day we don't need to constantly fund raise for these precious souls, and they are safe from the evils of slaughter, but until then, we will do our best to "git 'er done".

I was given until 6 am tomorrow morning to commit to a package deal OF ALL THE BABIES left from the “Stolen Horse Roundup” that happened last week . We have a chance to save ALL 32 babies. I have to commit to purchasing the entire bunch by morning, but will have until Monday to come up with the funds. We are in WA in the middle of another rescue, but are willing to step up, as always. We cannot begin to do this on our own. We need to raise close to $20,000. We need to purchase them, have enough funds to ensure we can feed and care for them until they are adopted, as well as transport them. It is a big responsibility to take on this many kids. So I have to know we can afford to feed them, If we don’t raise enough to save them all, we will pray that we have a chance to save some of them, and will save as many as we can afford to. For everyone who’s heart has been crushed by this illegal roundup, here is YOUR CHANCE TO ACTUALLY HELP, Step up and make a REAL DIFFERENCE.

OR ARE WE TOO LATE? 3 LIVES AT STAKE. We have been working behind the scenes to rescue these 3 babies for some time. I received a phone call about some kids who needed help asap. As always, it was a life and death situation and many of the moms were already deceased. Today, only a few hours ago, we finally were able to pick up the THREE MUSKETEERS. These are some of the most precious babies I have ever seen, and we are currently on our way to WSU to see if we can save their lives Although we LOVE our local vet, one of the folks who is helping with this rescue has family/friends at WSU and requested we take the kids there this time, as there is a good chance that Honey Bear may need hospitalization.. Honey Bear has a horrific injury to her leg, and although we started to take care of it on our own as is necessary so many times, this is extremely life threatening as it appears that the bone may be infected. She has had this injury for months and never received any care or antibiotics, and it may cost her her life. PLEASE help the Three Musketeers, Honey Bear, Star Fire and Sweetheart. They have been through heck, and Honey Bear, who has the most severe injury, was often seen laying beside her dead mother. It was a heartbreaking situation, kind of like South Dakota, but what is important now is that we concentrate all our energy on saving these babies. Star Fire was also starved for months and we are not sure if too much damage has been done or not. THEY NEED YOUR HELP NOW! We are about 2 hours from WSU. (Washington State Equine Hospital). I am praying for enough of a budget to save these girls. Thank you!  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HELPING US SAVE MORE LIVES, YOU CAN GO TO:

PLEASE HELP SAVE THESE BABIES........ There are 16 babies at the Fallon Feed Lot who ship THIS Thursday if they are not rescued prior to 8 pm. We are so over full, but how do we watch them ship to their death? We need funds to purchase them, and I do not know how much that will cost at this point, but we HAVE TO HAVE FUNDS TO FEED AND CARE FOR THEM if we are going to go get any or all of them. It is not just about "saving them", it is about being able to properly care for them and feed them. At this point it is a very difficult decision. However, the phone has not stopped, my message box is over flowing and this is in our own back yard. So it is up to our Chilly Pepper Family if we can save any or all of them. As always, we will step up to save as many as we can, based on our ability to actually rescue and care for them. IF, by some miracle, they are all safe at the time of the deadline, we would rescue others. As usual, we are having a crisis in the middle of a crisis. Matt is standing by for the paperwork to bring the mini's home. So please help us save these babies and give them a very Merry Christmas! THE MINI'S ARE ALMOST HERE! Cuteness overload below!!

(Shown above are some currently at Chilly Pepper) A quick update and plea to help us finally get the mini's safely home to Chilly Pepper. As of today, all 17 are scheduled for their Coggins tests this coming Thursday. The paperwork should be back 3 days after and we will be bringing them home in time for Christmas! YOU SAVED ALL OF THE 15 BABIES THIS LAST WEEK! THANK YOU FROM EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM! We were down to the wire, but we made it. Thankfully, several of the folks we work with on a regular basis stepped up to each take 5. As we have 7 babies and 18 adults here right now, this was a huge blessing. Of course we incurred THE EXPENSES of getting them, vetting them etc.. Matt drove 2300+ miles, and most of it was on ice to get them all picked up, vetted and taken to their temporary homes for adoption. I am happy to say that many of them already have committed adopters. It's hard to keep asking for help. You have already saved so many lives. But the simple fact is, without your help, we cannot save these horses. I have been planning the latest update, where I could simply thank all of you for the amazing love and support and the fact that we were in fact successful in saving ALL of the babies. Sadly, there are more lives to save, and we do need help to do it. We have been praying for a break in the emergencies, but we have been waiting so long to get these mini's to safety that we simply cannot turn our backs. So please help us if you can. We ended up sending the money to the fire victims as opposed to physically taking hay. After checking with the folks in charge, due to the poor weather and lack of dry storage we were given two people to contact and they were ecstatic to have the help. So thank you again for making that happen. So we are hoping and praying that y'all will come through again and help us save the new kids. We have had some wonderful donations, and we are so grateful as we would normally not have anywhere near this number of horses at this time of year. They are not being "hoarded", they simply need more time to heal and when they are ready we will get them adopted. Thank you and God Bless! BELOW ARE THE BABIES YOU JUST HELP US WITH! THANK YOU FROM EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM! Have a "MINI CHRISTMAS"!!  15 + ORPHANS WAITING TO BE PICKED UP! THEY NEED YOUR HELP NOW! Plus, an Update to BELL'AS LEGACY11/25/2018  Another 911 call. Literally just got off the phone a minute ago. We have 15 MORE Yakama foals who need help RIGHT NOW. I so wish it would snow about 20 feet so all the catchers would stop catching horses. But wishes won't save lives, so once again we are asking YOU to help us save these innocent babies. Their families have already shipped to slaughter, so time is of the essence. Let's make it a Merry Christmas for these babies! They have already lost their families, and they deserve every happiness there is. If you have that special someone who has everything, why not donate to save one of these foals and do it in their name? Give them the best Christmas ever, give them the gift of saving a life! As always, we will need to get to WA, purchase and pick up the foals, get them vetted, their health certs and then transport them to where they are going. With so much heartbreak out there, we know that folks have been donating like crazy to the fire victims. But we still have to ask for the babies. Will you save them? We simply cannot do it without funding. These babies need your help! As far as I know there are 15 for sure?, and maybe 16. We will save as many as we can, but we have to base that on the funds we can raise for this effort. We simply cannot save babies that we cannot care for and find homes for. So PLEASE, help these foals today! ALL OF THEIR LIVES MATTER! An update on BELLA'S LEGACY - GOT HAY. Thanks to your beautiful hearts, we were able to raise ($3219.62 via paypal, $30 check, $430 via gofundme) for a total of $3669.62 for purchasing hay and getting it to CA. We will be delivering half of the hay to the Camp Fire victims in the next week or so, (but will have to work around these new babies and the weather). We are still working on getting the most bang for your buck and getting the most hay possible to the critters that survived the fire. The horses that are still here with us at Chilly Pepper, also send their thanks and appreciation for their hay. The photo's shown are some of the lives y'all have already saved. The new babies are a bit bigger, and often not as quickly adopted out. But they are anxiously awaiting their new homes. LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN! THANK YOU as always for making sure these babies have a chance. God bless! Photo of a full trap..........   PLEASE join us, in our “BELLA’S LEGACY - Got Hay”? fund raiser for the displaced horses and critters from the Camp Fire in CA & CPMM. The fire is about an hour from our place in CA, and is hitting close to home. There is so much heartbreak and sadness it is truly unimaginable, and the number of lost lives goes up every day. We were asked to offer assistance, but due to one of our babies having substantial injuries, and also having so many special needs kids right now, we are hoping to offer assistance by helping provide some much needed hay. We were told that as the animals come out of the mountains in the coming weeks we might be needed to help with critical care at that time. But right now, feed and hay is desperately needed, and that is something we hope to help with. So any donations made in the next 5 days, starting today, 11-15-18 and ending 11-20-18, at midnight, will be used equally for the horses at Chilly Pepper and the horses and critters that are being cared for from the Camp Fire. We will post the total amount raised and we will use half of the funds to purchase and deliver the “gold” to California. As of this morning, we are sitting on 41 horses at Chilly Pepper. Y’all have come through and made it possible to save so many lives this year. We simply cannot express our appreciation and gratitude for your love and support. We have been playing catch up on paperwork, tax stuff etc. and been swamped with all of our special needs kids and taking care of 41+ horses. Hopefully I will catch up and be able to get all your personal “thank you’s” out. We so appreciate all you do! On an extremely sad note, we had to set Bella free from her pain. As always, it is devastating to get a horse “too late” to save it. She was only 4 and knew nothing but pain, starvation and abuse prior to y’all making it possible to rescue her. We had those horrible lil hoofers fixed, but she was in so much pain, clear through her body, that even with large doses of pain meds the fight became too much. The more weight she gained, the harder it was. I stayed with her as always, and through the tears streaming down my face, I could see her relax for the first time, as the pain gradually subsided. So to honor our beautiful Bella, let’s help those horses who are hungry, in pain, scared and suffering from the Camp Fire. Please support “BELLA’S LEGACY – GOT HAY?” THANK YOU FOR SAVING THE KIDS SHOWN BELOW! They are precious and every single one of their lives matter!

YOU DID IT! We SAVED 11 lives in the last two days with your love and support. We have enough to vet these kids, but now the above lives are at stake. I am sure you already know the next line. ANOTHER PHONE CALL - I have til tomorrow to raise the funds for 7 MORE HORSES! We ended up with 2 emaciated mares, one so bad that she went down right after stepping into the trailer. She is an older mare, and we named her "Gramama" as she has a raggedy little foal at her side. She is an excellent mama, and has given every single ounce of strength she has to her little boy "Buster Brown". The other mare named "Cassie", has been horribly abused and is skin and bones at best. She has injuries all over her body from being used as a "tripping horse" and for roping practice. I could not leave these two mares behind, so the total yesterday was 10, and we picked up a gorgeous guy "Blacktop" the day before. (My first view of him he was running down the road, happily boot scooting all over the black top.) Unbelievably, as I was cooking dinner in the horse trailer, Mel walked in and handed me the phone. It was another one of the catchers, and he was telling me about the babies. He asked me if color matters to me, and I told him no. We pay the same and we handle every horse the same, no matter what they look like. Then he asked if we wanted the mares. So let's save them too, because we can. So IF WE CAN RAISE ENOUGH TO PURCHASE AND VET 7 MORE KIDS, they will be arriving tomorrow just in time to get their bloodwork drawn. Then we can come back when the paperwork is clear and pick them up. We have a chance to save the moms, so I cannot in good faith, not at least give everyone the opportunity to save their lives. At this point the trailers will both be full, so thankfully, we will be able to focus on getting these horses home and placed. Below are some of the ones we (YOU) just saved, that are currently at Mama Mel's Urgent Care Nursery. Thank you as always, and please know that although we appreciate each and every dollar, we NEVER want anyone to feel pressure or do more than is right or comfortable for them. But we can never get enough prayers. Thank you for saving the kids below!!  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HELPING US SAVE MORE LIVES, YOU CAN GO TO:

We had some heartbreak last week as I was called for 5 weanlings. I knew we would have a deadline, but was given no idea how short it would be. Sadly, I didn't have enough time to find a place where we could keep them or even begin to put out a fundraiser, before it was too late. I sent the text as soon as I found a place, but received one back saying "I already got rid of them". I do not know for sure what that means, but we were pretty close to, if not the "last resort". These "deadlines" are serious as far as being able to commit so we can have a chance to save them. My understanding is that the babies have to be 400# to be loaded onto the truck. I believe most shippers do not want babies that small on board, due to injuries and babies being trampled or squished during transport, but I can honestly not say what happened to those 5 babies. We are in Yakima working on Mama Mel's Urgent Care Nursery, as it is imperative that it is ready for winter babies. My phone rang and my heart sank. It was one of the catchers, and he told me he has orphaned babies (ages unspecified) in his trap right now. I NEED TO KNOW WITHIN A FEW HOURS IF THERE IS A CHANCE WE CAN PULL THIS OFF. WE NEED FUNDS FOR PURCHASE, VETTING AND TRANSPORT. We do not have a number, it could be 5 or many more. I was told there are 100 horses where they are trapping and they thought they might get a third. They could get more or less and so there is no way to know how many babies we could end up with. If there are a lot, how do you decide who lives and dies? That is why we need to make sure we have the funds ready to go when it is time. Thankfully some of the folks we work with on a regular basis have been building their out reach, so these kids will not have to come back to Chilly Pepper. PLEASE let's NOT miss another deadline. I had no idea the time was so short when we got the last call. But I do know I have to have the answer by tomorrow so we can say yes and save these babies. I know it is a regular thing for us to ask for urgent help. We certainly did not choose to be on the front lines. However, God has put us here for a reason and y'all are part of this amazing journey. The number of lives YOU have made it possible to save is absolutely astonishing. But as most of you know, the horses are in crisis, so instead of having the winter off to "re-group" like we are supposed to (haha), the emergencies just keep coming. So I hope y'all understand that we have to ask, because without funding these babies could die. We are still trying to raise enough funds to pick up the miniatures and make sure they are all properly vetted with Health certs etc. Vetting is scheduled for the 22nd if we have the funds. On a good note, we are making great progress on the "Nursery", considering how many horses we are involved in rescuing at this time. AGAIN, THANK YOU AS ALWAYS for the love and support. As soon as we get a spare minute I will be back on our "thank you's".   The above are some of the lives you just saved. As you can see, some are barely alive and others are looking ok. ANOTHER PHONE CALL - The mini's we have been on standby for, since a couple of months ago, will be ready for us in the coming weeks. However, we need funds as always to get these kids to safety and vetted etc. Do you want to save these little cuties? See photos below. In the meantime, Matt picked up a 20+ mare yesterday. It seems like they are coming out of the woodwork. She is beautiful, but definitely a grandma, and needs TLC and her lil hoofers done. The other days was a really rough day. In the midst of all that is going on, we lost one of our most recently rescued donkeys. So now as we get ready to head to WA to pick up the babies, we are filled with so many emotions. Two days ago we lost our beautiful "Long Ears". He had been adopted and was about to be loaded for his new home, when Matt told me he "was not feeling it - as far as driving that day". We have both learned to listen to that little voice because over and over God has kept us safe when we listen. Hours later I would be calling the vet to come out. Long Ears had went down and . did not get up. At first he was not concerned. He was in good spirits and just lay there reaching out and grabbing bites of hay. We spent most of the day with him, giving him a chance to rest and trying to help him when he wanted to get up. I spoke with the vet and even before she arrived, Long Ears let me know without a doubt that he was done. Thankfully it was a quick change, and he did not lay suffering for hours. The vet said he was a very old man, and due to the starvation he went through, who knows what damage was done internally. Long Ears came in skin and bones, with basically no muscle in his back end. From the second Matt picked him up to the last few minutes we spent with him, this wonderful and amazing donkey was surrounded by love. He was happy and very vocal when it was time for dinner, and just LOVED to be loved on. Although once again, my heart was in pieces, I was thanking God for not letting that little girl lose her new donkey. Sadly for me, but luckily for the little girl waiting for her forever donkey, I had one other little mini donk that we were planning on using for the Sunshine & Smiles program. So unbeknownst to that little girl, we sent him instead. Today, they are together and it is a match made in heaven. So now we are getting ready to pick up the babies in Yakima. Matt delivered 3 of the kids to their new homes yesterday and our friend in Idaho took 3 of the babies from the last rescue, to help us place them. The good news is that out of 9 horses y'all just saved, 5 have been adopted, and 3 are staying here for some much needed TLC! As always, we have been running non-stop and want to THANK Y'ALL from the bottom of our hearts for helping save these beautiful souls. Obviously several of them would have not even had a chance at survival if y'all had not stepped up! We appreciate the love and support and are confident that we can once again "git 'er done", and save the 10 minis that we are once again on stand by for.

PLEASE HELP NOW SO WE CAN SAVE THEM!10/3/2018  More babies are coming in. IN ADDITION to the 4 that we just saved, there are SIX MORE, including Lil Cash (shown above) who is only a month or two old. Due to the loss of life last winter, many of the mares are foaling out of the normal foal season. So we will need LOTS of Foal Lac and milk pellets etc. The new nursery is NOT set up, and there are only a few panels and no shelter as the other rescue took everything when they shut down the "orphanage". The normal trapping season is beyond over, but much like last year they just continue to round up these beautiful souls, non-stop. The new nursery was not supposed to be open, but babies do not come at our convenience, and this is an emergency situation. (There are times when I wish we were not always on the front line having to deal with immediate life saving issues. Thankfully y'all are amazing!) Right now the winds are blowing 40 miles an hour and we need to get up there, save the rest of the babies and start setting up the nursery NOW!! These babies have been through more horror than any horse should see in it's entire life, and some of them are only a month or two old. We had hoped to be able to slowly raise funds and get it set up before trapping started again next spring. However, as always, that is obviously not happening. This is so overwhelming. It sounds whiny, but I just had surgery 2 weeks ago and Matt is not even home yet with the 9 y'all just saved. So we are a tiny bit exhausted but once again, I need to ask folks to step up! (ok - crying over.) I have been told "you can just say no". Well, I cannot look at a baby who is not only innocent, but terrified, hungry and most often in very poor shape and say let it die because it is inconvenient , especially knowing that their moms are literally on the truck on the way to a horrific and painful death. CAN YOU SAY NO to a tiny innocent orphan? I hope not. We can purchase, insulate and prepare a smaller nursery building similar to the ones we use in NV for our nursery and critical care units for about $3000. That would enable us to set it up exactly how it should be. The weather is changing fast and it is critical that we have the proper facilities so we can provide the care they truly deserve. I couldn't believe it when I got called for 2 more today. We have had the vet out twice and it was roughly $445 BOTH TIMES. Now we have to call her to come out again, and it will be about $350 for the 2 new kids. But we have to do things the right way, so I am hoping and praying we can raise enough funds to pay the vet for the last 2 times, the upcoming visit and be able to get a shelter up in the next week. (So for these 10 foals, the vet bill is roughly $1200 - $1300, and this does NOT include the cost of saving them, bringing them home or taking care of them.) SO WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR HELP FROM THE FRONT LINES ONCE AGAIN. You are the difference for these innocent souls, and we thank each and every one of you who donate, send prayers, share the information and are part of our Chilly Pepper Family. Once again we will do the work if we have the funding.  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HELPING US SAVE MORE LIVES, YOU CAN GO TO:

ONE MORE LIFE TO SAVE - A YOUNG STALLION WHO IS BLIND IN ONE EYE. HE NEEDS YOUR HELP TONIGHT!, and then our trailer will be full. We (YOU) SAVED ALL 4 of the Yakima foals. One of them already has a potential adopter and thankfully the other 3 will be heading to one of our favorite "partners", whom we work with every year and who is not only an angel, but an excellent "foal mama". So ALL these are safe and will shortly be off of our feed bill as well. (We will be helping out with a small care package, but Dannielle will be saving the rescue a great deal of time and money and find the WA babies their perfect forever home.) We were able to commit to save 3 horses, 2 donkey stallions, a mini and 1 heavily pregnant donkey mama. (The other 2 we were originally trying to save were lucky and found other homes. However, we have ONE MORE we NEED TO SAVE ASAP! He is a stallion, who is blind in one eye and needs to stay out of the slaughter pipeline. We always try to pull a few stallions no matter where we are as they often have so little chance to be saved. We have most of the kids paid for, but sadly my truck is in the shop to the tune of about $1500. (We have already put over 30,000?? miles on her this year, and she is running strong but needed some new seals and a couple of repairs to avoid a major one). We just paid $443 to the vet in WA to get the health certificates and Coggins test so the 4 can go to their new homes, and we need a bit more funding to pull off saving the stallion and to keep the rescues, new saves and deliveries on the road. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAVING ALL THESE LIVES. LET'S MAKE SURE WE CAN ADD THIS YOUNG, PARTIALLY BLIND STALLION TO THE HAPPY LIST! BELOW: THANK YOU FOR SAVING US!!! OUR LIVES MATTER!

As Matt was driving me home from surgery, we received an emergency call from the Shipper in WA. 4 babies need your help! As we are the ONLY rescue he works with, it is up to us to save their lives. They literally have NO WHERE ELSE to go. They are possibly 5 or 6 months old, and it only takes 400 pounds to get them on the slaughter truck (or at least that is what I have been told). So instead of staying home taking care of me for the next 5 days or so, Matt will be dropping me off tomorrow, picking up his truck from the shop and heading to WA to save these babies, (IF we can raise funds to bail, vet and bring them home to safety). We so appreciate the donations y'all have sent to save the horses we were already working on, and thanks to your generosity we were able to secure the safety of 4 of them. Thankfully the palomino and the heavily bred mare were saved by someone else, so we were able to save a gelding ready to ship, the badly beat up horse, one of the donkeys and the branded mustang mare. We are hoping to save more, but it will depend on funding. But that rescue is on hold, as this is truly a "now" emergency and we have to make sure we do what we can to keep these guys safe. These babies desperately need your help to save them, and that requires funding, as WE ARE THE ONLY THING BETWEEN THEM AND THE DEADLY TRUCK. Once again, we will be running on faith, as I know that God put them in front of us and it certainly was not to let them die. So please help us once again, and let's bring these kids to safety. Thank you as always, for your love and support for these horses. BELOW: Three of the kids safe and waiting to be picked up. Luckily the Palomino and the heavily bred mare were saved by others.

At the bottom of the page you will see a bit of what we are facing with their rehab. HOWEVER, once again we received a call asking for help. The above kids are some of the ones we were asked to save. (We won't know for sure which ones we will be able to save until we have the funds to secure them. But if one is already safe, we will save another one) As Matt is going to be a third of the way there when he delivers the next group of horses to their new homes, this would be the time to save some more lives. We wanted to give everyone a chance to save these beautiful souls from the slaughterhouse floor and to help save more lives. We are more than willing to "git 'er done" as long as we can raise enough funds to make it happen. There is a heavily bred mare, a beautiful branded mustang mare, donkeys, injured kids etc. They all need our help and as always, time is of the essence. I am heading for surgery on Monday, but it should be an outpatient type of thing, (just replacing my generator), and Matt is ready and willing to go get these kids when he delivers the other 6 to their new homes. As always, it all depends on you. We will keep doing the work if we have the funds to do so. Out of the last 9, 6 are heading to their forever homes. As you can see by the pictures below, there are 3 who need intensive care and they will remain at Chilly Pepper for the time being. BOTH of the mare's front hooves are in horrific shape, and she will need major care. Our beautiful Princess Sahreena was emaciated and she will need lots of love and care. She also came in with some pretty gnarly injuries, but they are healing well. Please help us save the "new kids". We are looking at about $6000 plus to hopefully save 9? more lives, including transportation, rescue and vetting to get them home. Again, this is not our "normal rescue", but since Matt is already headed that way, we got the call, and the timing is perfect to combine the two, we are definitely willing to go the extra mile if you want to save these kids and keep them off the slaughter truck.

WE CAN SAVE THEM WITH YOUR HELP! But once again it is up to you. (I apologize for the quality of the photos, but they are all I have.) Matt is still in Texas, as complications have arisen with 7 horses y'all just saved. All of the mares have clear Coggins (the blood test required for transport). However, only 2 of the mares received their Health certificates, so now we have to put the others in quarantine until we can get a Health certificate to bring them safely home. It will cost up to $1500 to quarantine up to 30 days. Hopefully it won't take that long to get them healthy enough to get the necessary paperwork. However, once we establish this "quarantine" we will be able to use it in the future at a fraction of the cost. To complicate matters further, when Matt was heading back to "wait" for the vet to come out again, there were issues with the truck and off to the shop it went. That is the issue with having 16 year old vehicles and working them as hard as we do. Luckily, the truck is being repaired and will be ready to go today. We work really hard to keep them road worthy but they are old and never stop working. Sadly, we are stuck at this point. We cannot bring the horses home who do not have the proper paperwork. Luckily we have a safe place to quarantine them, but we obviously did not figure for the additional expenses involved. So once again we are asking our Chilly Pepper Family to not only SAVE ANOTHER MOM AND BABY!, but to help us get the funds to cover these unexpected costs, so we can quarantine these mama's and their babies and get them home to safety as soon as we can.

These 3 mares and foals are loading within the next half hour if we can't raise funds. We are going on Faith, as Always, and have an extraordinary Angel who is helping save these. But we can't save all of them without your help!!! This is an unusual situation for us, but for some reason God put these in front of us and made it clear we need to save them. PLEASE HELP! Matt will have to drive to Texas and pick them up, and he is willing. So, please help asap if you can, and if you get this a bit later, please help because we are going on Faith! The bail is approximately $2600 with bail, health and coggins certificates. Then we need to get them home. Thank you!!  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HELPING US SAVE MORE LIVES, YOU CAN GO TO:
