Chilly Pepper – Trailer Kids Update, and request for much needed help for hay and a unique improvement to keep the babies safe!
The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: Update: The 4 littles are safe and sound at Dustin Time Rescue in Pocatello. It broke my heart to let them go so soon, but it made sense as they are trying to schedule my next surgery. The 3 bigger kids adoption came through, and they are also safe and sound in their new homes. So right now I only have Dakota and Tyler up here, and I believe there are 15? in Nevada. We need to buy $1000 load of hay in Nevada immediately. There are 15? to feed, and the horses love their groceries. I have a very special request for help this week. Luckily, it is a one time expenditure, We need $2097.94 to replace the emergency funds that were used for the electrician. The nursery buildings are now wired DIRECTLY & CORRECTLY, after having 2 extension cord fires. We have been on a waiting list and it was finally our turn. PTL! Between the hay, vet bill, restocking of supplies and the electrical work & my extra help, we need approximately $5000+. We can't afford or risk not having what we need if babies/horses show up unexpectedly. I will still need to hire extra help for a bit longer, (and that might be a bit of an understatement lol). It sure show how people coming together makes an amazing difference. I'm heading back to Seattle for a Doc appt next Thursday. Hopefully they will be scheduling my hip replacement on my "good leg". I think we have SAVED roughly 19 or so new horses, since I 1st broke my Tibia. Rescue doesn't stop for little things like broken legs, etc. Sadly it's my life, so I can't, or we wouldn't be where we are. It just takes a bit ...

Chilly Pepper – Update on the 7 “Trailer Kids”
The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: Thank You for helping us help these kids. These are NOT our normal babies. They are from a private herd dispersal. I am grateful they came straight to us as opposed to hitting a sales yard 1st. There are actually 4 milk babies, and 3 older kids. Two of them spent their first night at the vet hospital. (Our matching funds will cover their first night and the meds.) Princess Penelope, the one with the funny milk face was colicky and acting like she was dying. In all reality, the banamine and the trailer ride fixed her up quite well. She was quite perky by the time Doc saw her. Neither of them have any teeth yet, so they are very young. Both of them had fluids , plasma and antibiotics. I have already gone through 50 pounds of milk powder, and they are all drinking, and seem to be doing quite well. We are dealing with some diarrhea, but that is normal. A wonderful donor stepped up and said she will match up to a $1000 in donations. I cannot begin to thank her, as well as everyone else who is helping with these kids. This $2000 will go to the vet to cover the 1st night and the meds etc. This will include donations made as of yesterday morning at 10 a.m. I believe we are close to halfway there. If you want to donate directly for milk, please call Basin Feed at 509-773-4648. Here is our Amazon Wish list https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/FEV9E2B7MPEA?ref_=wl_share THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FROM THE "TRAILER KIDS" I also appreciate prayers that I don't get kicked lol.

A Big and Heartfelt Thank You!
The following is from All About Equine Rescue: All About Equine Animal Rescue, Inc. Thank You for Supporting AAE on Big Day of Giving! Save the Date for Boots & Bling Updated Adoptable Horses Volunteer Corner, Volunteer Needs AAE Friends, Supporters, & Service Providers Thank you, thank you, thank you! Together, you gave $30,146 during Big Day of Giving to help horses-in-need! It was a BIG day indeed! Thanks to you, we met our match, and we surpassed our overall BDOG goal! Once again, our amazing AAE community showed up for the horses and gave with their heart. Thank you to the Sacramento Region Community Foundation for hosting this monumental Big Day of Giving to raise funds and awareness for so many wonderful organizations. Together, we are making better lives for for horses like Stormy, but also our community. Stormy's owner passed away unexpectedly, and his family did not have the knowledge or resources to care for him. His and his mom lived quietly in a pasture. She found a home quickly; he sat waiting in alone in a pasture. Stormy was a 5-1/2 year old Quarter Horse stallion, and not only a stallion, but a cryptorchid (only one descended testicle). The family had a difficult time trying to rehome him, so they contacted us for help. Another horse-lover met Stormy shortly thereafter, and she offered to sponsor his needs so we could take him in. Besides needing castration, he was thin, his hooves were long, and he needed dental work. He didn't know much about a halter and lead, either. Thankfully, he was well-mannered and good-natured, and we were able to get right to work. He progressed well at AAE. His basic care was updated, and he was gelded. He didn't have to wait long before he found ...

Your support helps horses-in-need like our recent large intake supporting law enforcement in a neglect case! Did you hear? Back in early March, AAE was contacted by a Nor Cal law enforcement agency requesting assistance with a neglect case that involved 24 Arabian horses. We were told law enforcement stepped in when they learned of starving horses who had been abandoned on a large, remote, high desert property. Law enforcement started providing food and water for the animals from late 2023 until mid-February, but not before three were lost. By mid-February, they seized 21. Twenty-one horses soon became 22 when a colt was born shortly after seizure. By the time AAE got involved, the horses had been under care of law enforcement for a few months. The horses' body conditions had improved some, but they were still rough and in need of basic care. Together, with another rescue, we supported this effort, and in the end, AAE took in 15 ...
