Equine Rescues

The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: Hi This beautiful mare needs our help now. She is what is known as a "direct ship" if we do not save her. This means she will ship to slaughter if Chilly Pepper does not save her! Will you help us save her? I need to commit asap! She has been used for "roping practice". If you look at her legs you can see the injuries from being "tripped". There are folks who practice "heeling" with wild horses, and others who do what's called "tripping". They practice on the plain horses, and the rodeos use fancy horses for the competitions. NOT all rodeos do this, but there are certain groups who are known for it. I was told, "She is wild as heck, in foal (we believe), and they have been roping her. She doesn't want to be a people horse at all." This mare is terrified and has suffered a great deal of pain. Even when they practice "regular roping", it means she is chased, terrified and has a loop thrown over her head while she is running in fear, and then she is jerked to a stop. When horses are "tripped", the WHOLE EVENT is to rope a running, terrified horse by it's legs and trip it so it crashes to the ground.. She may never recover from the emotional abuse, but definitely does not deserve to be slaughtered on top of all the abuse she has already suffered. These are the best photos I have, and she is definitely a "long term project", IF she doesn't have injuries that would make it impossible for her to have a comfortable life. It's hard to tell in the photos, but she is severely underweight and her hips are sunken in. Her unborn ...

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue: This is National Estate Planning Awareness Week, and as a volunteer-driven organization dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating equines, we understand the power of future planning to protect the horses, other animals, and people we love. Start planning now to prevent situations like the one we found Cody in. Cody came to AAE after his owner passed away without a plan for his future care. AAE receives many calls requesting assistance with horses because their owners passed without a plan in place to provide for their care. These horses are at-risk as they have no one to care for them, no planned resources for their care, and nowhere to go. Creating a will or revocable living trust to document your plan can prevent situations like this. Estate planning doesn’t have to be stressful or complicated. It starts with meaningful conversations with your loved ones about the future. Here are a few guiding questions to get you started: ·     Who would we want to care for our children (or pets)? ·     Who would we want to help manage our finances? Who would be our financial power of attorney? ·     Does our medical power of attorney know our health concerns and wishes? ·     Are the chosen family members or friends aware of these roles and willing to take them of? ·     How can we ensure those we choose understand our wishes and have the financial resources to care for our children or pets the way we would? ·     Can we create a legacy that ensures care for neglect, abused, and abandoned horses? Because of the support we received from generous, horse-loving individuals, we were able to help Cody become the vibrant, youthful horse he once was, and he found his forever home. This free, ...

The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: Hi Doc is coming out today, and it will be close to $1000 to get the horses vetted and ready to cross state lines. The temperatures are dropping like crazy. It is supposed to be about 20 degrees tonight, and all of the horses are eating double from what they ate a week ago. We need hay, and we need it quickly. We have some pending adoptions, which means we need to get Coggins, Health Certificates and Brand inspections so they can leave the state. This will get the adopted kids off the feed bill, but they cannot leave until we have them vetted. Please help us raise the $3500 for vetting, coggins, and hay. With the weather ALREADY in the 20's, it looks like it is going to be a rough year. We have been running on Faith and Fumes, as always, and I so appreciate any and all help with the much needed hay. As of now I have 2 big bales left, and that will last the rest of this week. The horses say THANK YOU! We still have a huge vet bill at Goldendale Veterinary. We didn't quite cover the costs for setting Stormy free from her pain, and I just trapped the last wild cat "Crazy" and had him neutered. Appreciate any help with the vet bills as well. PLEASE HELP AND SHARE THIS FAR & WIDE! THANK YOU to everyone who has already donated. THANK YOU, MY CHILLY PEPPER FAMILY, FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE! YOU ROCK!!!

The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: Hi, Meet the latet kids. They are super sweet, and so happy to be safe and sound at Chilly Pepper. THANK YOU! Some heartbreaking news. Our beautiful Stormy, the filly with the horribly damaged jaw, was too badly injured to save. Doc had to let her go and end her suffering. We tried to give her a bit of time so we could have as much info as possible, but the bone growth just kept increasing. Both vets agreed that there was zero alternative but to end her pain. I couldn't bear to dump her in land fill, so I went out on Faith and we had her buried on a ranch, with the others who have gone before her. I realize it is expensive, but I have been doing this too long and I simply do not have it in me to dump one of my precious babies in the garbage. I know she wasn't there, but I wanted to be respectful. I hope y'all support that and will help us with our big vet bills. Both vet bills are really high. Misty was extremely sick and needed an emergency visit. She needed all sorts of meds and tests, but thankfully she is doing much better now. However, the farm calls are expensive. Just the last geldings, Coggins and meds were $1500 plus in NV. Stormy's appt, euthanasia and burial was also very expensive. I could feel her suffering, and she deserved so much better. I hate it when I get them too late, to help. I so appreciate all of my beautiful Chilly Pepper Family. I'm sorry this is so late, but my silly computer is working "sometimes" at random intervals, and honestly I am simply exhausted. My leg is very ...

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue: Each year during our annual Boots & Bling event, we emphasize a vital need for support at All About Equine through our Fund-A-Need (FAN) effort.  This year, as a result of increased hay costs, general inflation, and the ongoing demand to support more horses-in-need, our FAN is focused again on supporting our general operations.  Last night, hundreds of fellow supporters celebrated All About Equine's 11th Annual Boots and Bling and 15 years of helping horses-in-need. During the event, we shared a video featuring some of the incredible work made possible by your support over the past year. At AAE, we've seen firsthand the heartbreaking reality of horses that have been neglected, abandoned, or abused. We're not just here to reflect on their stories; we're here to rewrite them. Every horse that comes into our care represents a second chance, a new beginning; your support makes this lifesaving work possible. With your donation to our FAN, you'll be making miracles by supporting costs for essential medical care, food, shelter, and more for future horses who have nowhere else to turn. Though you couldn't be with us in person, we'd still love for you to be part of this FAN team! Your generosity will make a significant impact for horses-in-need. Every gift, no matter the size, helps create a brighter future for horses who need us most. Together, we’ve already accomplished so much, but the need is still great. Please give with your heart, and know you are making a difference. Thank you for considering this opportunity to support AAE! You are a vital part of this community. Donate to Fund-A-Need PS. There are still a few items available in the Virtual Silent Auction! If you'd like to bid, the second round of the ...

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue: Tomorrow night we will join together for a cause that's close to all of our hearts - helping horses who need us most. Horses like Clyde. Clyde is an intake from a nearby law enforcement agency. He and another horse were left on a property to fend for themselves. He had a cancerous eye tumor, and once he was in stable condition, his eye was removed (before coming to AAE). Clyde is a big, gentle soul, most of the time, and we've already seen him improve in the short time he's been with us. Boots & Bling isn't just about good food, great company, and lively bidding - it's about making a difference for horses-in-need. Here's how you can help change lives:

• Attend Boots & Bling: If you haven't already, you can still purchase a ticket and join us! There are a limited number of tickets available, so act quickly!
• Silent Auction: The Silent Auction is virtual, so people far and wide can participate, all in the spirit of helping horses-in-need! It's a HUGE auction with something for everyone. If you haven't registered for the auction, there are instructions, below, plus some bidding tips. If you don't win, consider making a donation to AAE!
• Fund-A-Need: Whether you're with us in person or in spirit, you'll have a chance to directly support horses. Stay tuned for more information.
