Chilly Pepper -Hay Shortage Crisis, A happy Sea Tac, A Small Vet Bill, and time to stock up on hay.
The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: QUICK UPDATE - More fires - A bigger hay emergency Chilly Pepper is looking for help to stock up on hay. Every single fire is adding to higher hay prices and a well known critical shortage for the winter. If you would like to help us make sure we can keep the critters well fed this winter, any help towards hay is much appreciated. We only owe Doc Zimmerman about $500-600 to pay off the latest bill, so any help with that is also appreciated. 775-623-0981 SeaTac is loving life and has such a huge personality. Thank you so much for helping us with him. The horses and animals at Wynema Ranch all have a safe place to go to. Shari wanted them to come to Chilly Pepper, but there are some issues behinds the scenes so I am not sure how many we will be getting. Michael is taking care of them and the vet is coming out to make sure what needs done is being done. As the healing starts, all I can do is make sure all our animals will have enough feed for winter and that the three horses I already picked up to help Shari are given a little extra TLC. Prayers for Eddie are much appreciated. Thank you for helping me stock up on winter hay. These fires are decimating hay supplies and pasture like crazy. Add the drought conditions and it is simply terrifying to think there could be no more hay to buy. Right now we have hay available to purchase, so it is absolutely necessary to secure it. Our horses all appreciate you, and so do I. Hugs and thank you, Palomino & All the Critters You can donate to Goldendale Veterinary - 509-773-0369 ...

Remembering Our Sweet Dakota
The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue: DAKOTA 2023-2026 It is with a broken heart that I share that we lost our sweet boy, Dakota, this past Friday. Many of you knew and loved Dakota through the photos and stories we've shared; others through your time volunteering with the horses at AAE. He had such a special presence, the happiest, most goofy, and incredibly sweet little guy who loved people, greeted you in the barn, followed you everywhere, waited at the gate, tagged along to the barn, and was almost always alongside or standing over his best pal, Louise. You never had to look far, and there he was. Dakota got very sick this last month, but he was responding really well to treatment. He was improving every day, and for his last few days, he was truly himself again, happy, goofy, loving and enjoying life. There was every reason to be hopeful. Suddenly, Friday morning, something had changed. He was extremely painful and uncomfortable, and the heartbreaking decision was made to let him go as peacefully as possible. This special guy wasn't even 3 years old. He had already overcome so much in his short life, from abandonment on the streets, getting hit by a car, and having a major hip surgery. He took it all in stride, recovered well, and became such a bright light at the rescue. You couldn't help but smile and feel his love when he leaned into say hello. We thought we had so many years ahead of us. Needless to say, he weaseled his way deep into my heart, and I am absolutely crushed. If you see Lou and I at the barn, I can't talk yet about losing him. I know any questions come from love and concern, and I hope ...
Chilly Pepper -RIP my beautiful Shari. First load of hay, a water tank and dog food tomorrow.
The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: QUICK UPDATE - RIP MY BEAUTIFUL FRIEND SHARI Hi, I am feeling so broken. My friends Eddie & Shari Floyd were in the Bug Fire. I called to help evacuate, but the fire went the other way. There was a fire tornado and it turned back over the mountain. The neighbor woke them up to evacuate. They were to the road (there driveway is a mile long) but went back for her dog. The car caught fire, they had to get out and try to run. They were both disabled and they caught on fire. It knocked them down and Eddie tried to cover Shari and they layed together holding each other and praying while the fire burned over them. Shari died yesterday from her body being burned over 40% and Eddie has over 30% of his body burned. The house didn't burn and the dog died anyway. It looks like we may be taking a crippled donkey, a pig, possibly some chickens, dogs and maybe a cat, and providing a home for one of her workers who just got out of the hospital with Colon cancer, has no family, nowhere to go and lost everything in the fire. I will either help place or bring home 2 other horses, 2 mustangs and 2 seniors with special needs. At this point it is just trying to get through each day. I am broken in a way I have not previously been. Tomorrow I deliver some hay, a water tank, dog food and some clothes for Michael. I am working with Shari's son, Animal Control and the property owner as well as some other folks to get all the animals safe in a smooth transition. Please pray. I am sorry this is such ...
Chilly Pepper – Fire Update, Hay update and SEATAC is home. Thank you!!
The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: QUICK UPDATE Thank you for the hay donations for Shari & Eddie. We have enough to cover a trailer load for them. As we are not certain how long the horses will remain there, this particular fundraiser has ended. HOWEVER, LOL, We are now working on hay for Chilly Pepper. There was an existing shortage months ago before the horrific fires and the drought. We NEED to have a stock pile to make sure our horses have feed. It is going to be so bad for the horses. All their feed has burned, hay fields have burned and folks cannot afford them. SEATAC is home, safe and sound. Thank you for stepping up for him. A load of hay is now about $6200. If anyone would like to help our kids with their hay supply, it is much appreciated. Y'all are so amazing and I know we can get through these tough times. Eddie and Shari are still in the hospital. Please, please say a prayer for them.
