The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:
UPDATE – So Far we have raised $825 towards the matching $2500. We ONLY NEED another $1175 to procure the matching funds. I have until Sunday a.m. at 9 to commit to these precious lives. (Not the ones above – I still do not have any photos of the new Mamas whose lives are at risk.)

Millions of donkeys slaughtered for the trade in hides for China Thursday, 26 June 2025 By The Brussels Times with Belga Millions of donkeys slaughtered for the trade in hides for China © Wikimedia Commons.
Almost 6 million donkeys are slaughtered each year for their hides, which are used in traditional Chinese medicine, and the figure could rise to 7 million by 2027, according to the NGO Donkey Sanctuary. The British NGO is calling for a ‘moratorium’ on this trade, which is decimating the species in Africa in particular. Donkey hides are exported to China to make a traditional remedy known as ejiao, used to improve blood circulation, slow down ageing, and stimulate libido and fertility. Once reserved for emperors, this product is now popular with the Chinese middle class and represents a market worth more than $5 billion (about €4.5 billion). To fuel this trade, some 5.9 million donkeys are slaughtered globally each year, and this figure could reach 6.8 million by 2027. Angel Donor stated that if we can raise enough funds for the matching $2500 donation she is willing to do, once this is finished and the Pregnant Mamas and their babies are safe, SHE WILL DO ANOTHER MATCH so we can have enough funds to fix the truck and start the barn repairs.
On a MUCH HAPPIER note, our Angel Donor said if we can get the 1st funds matched, she will do another $2500 matching funds to help get the truck and trailer repaired and possible the barns fixed as well. So once step at a time, and I am praying we get the 1st Match!
| Truck still needs 2 MAJOR repairs. So as of now it is sitting in the driveway. The parts for the first repair are ordered, and the estimate is $1940. This is absolutely critical as it is the Charge Air Cooler that needs replaced. Without this repair, the turbo will overheat and destroy the engine.
6. The 2nd Repair is the most expensive, but I have a bit of time to get that done.
7. The stock trailer decided to not raise or lower, and I need to take it in as soon as the 1st truck repair is finished. We will have to find a way to get it up on the truck, most likely with a tractor.
| I simply HAVE to have a running truck and trailer to operate this rescue. All of our equipment is old, but we have cared for it diligently. Sometimes equipment just needs some love, and mine is screaming for help!!
I won’t lose my Faith, and even though there is alot going on right now, I know we can “git ‘er done”. |

Due to a typo, we are short $1090 to finish matching funds and the new $500 matching funds for the extra $1000 needed to purchase these kids.
We are short $590 for the matching funds, which means we are basically short $1180 for the fund raiser. This means we can only get 1/2 a load of hay. We definitely need a whole load.
| THE BAD NEWS – When I was contacted about these 3 boys, there was a typo in the amount of the bail. The total was $2950, NOT the $1950 we fundraised for. |
| The $5000 was $2000 for the horses, $1000 for vetting and gelding these 3 and $2000 for a load of hay. |
So we still need the $590 for the 1st matching funds.
We have ANOTHER Angel who stepped up and is offering to match $500 to raise the additional $1000 I had to pay to save these kids. When you add up bail, paperwork and transporting with these hideous fuel prices, it is still not an unreasonable amount to spend to save 3 horses.
So the total needed altogether for 1 load of hay, bail and transport for these 3 studs, vetting and getting them gelded is $1090. Thank you to everyone who has stepped up to save these precious lives. This has been one for the books with the additional stress, and I am so grateful they will not face being butchered alive.
| For those of you are skeptical, like I am, I actually did see the invoice for these horses and the total was supposed to be $2950. |
