Equine Rescues

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue: Behind every horse story is a group of individuals who chose to show up and help make it possible. Our volunteers are at the heart of that work, bringing compassion, consistency, and care to everything they do. As the saying goes, “Volunteers are love in motion.” In this spotlight, we’re celebrating three of those people whose time, heart, and dedication are making a real difference. Meet Lisa M.! AAE Volunteer for 8 years! What do you do as an AAE Volunteer? I have been volunteering on the Saturday morning Barn shift, helping out with orientation, tours, and bar duties at Boots and Bling. My husband, Charlie, and I have helped out with a few special project days when the property was first being developed. What do you love about AAE and/or volunteering at AAE? There are many things I love about AAE, I treasure all the friends I have made and the happiness I feel when a rescue goes to their forever home. I also love my Saturday peeps!! Who is your favorite AAE horse and why? My favorite is Wylie. I also loved all of Sophia’s sweet kisses. Wylie is such a goof, and his green slobber is the best . He reminds me of Barney. Meet Angela F.! AAE Volunteer for 9 years! What do you do as an AAE Volunteer? I'm part of the Saturday morning crew; I feed, give meds, do plenty of mucking, and sometimes groom, too. I often help with treatments and wound care, and occasionally do small repairs on damaged fences and hoses. For my day job, I'm an architect, so I've also worked on the permit drawings for each new structure, most recently the new barn. What do you love about AAE and/or ...

The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: ANOTHER UPDATE - GREAT NEWS!! - We now only need $2480 for the 2nd part of this fundraiser to do the first repairs on the truck. Thanks to y'all coming up with enough funds for the initial $2500 match, the Donkeys are coming and our beautiful Angel is keeping her word and matching the next $2500 that is donated. Our donor said if y'all can get the Mama's home, she is willing to MATCH UP TO ANOTHER $2500 so I can get the initial truck repair done. We still need to fix the nursery barn roof and one of the hay barns from the storm damage. Our vet bill is most likely going to be about $2000. All 6 Colts are gelded!!! Woohoo!! Sadly, we incurred some unexpected costs with Grandma Gracie. As always, unexpected medical related expenses pop up when you least expect them. We had some excitement/drama as one of the colts, the beautiful Cochise, ended up with some complications from his gelding. He is expected to heal completely, although it was quite scary. Our beautiful Grandma Gracie is now running free in Heaven. Although this hit me even harder than I ever thought possible, I am so grateful to All of you, and to God for giving her the time she had with us. She spent her last weeks wandering free in the front acres in the yard with the donkeys, Feather and the miniatures. They all were a big pain in the butt as they followed us everywhere and did their best to HELP with each and every project. She ACTUALLY TROTTED around with Feather 3 different times. She was so proud and oh so fast, (not really fast - but she certainly thought so), and definitely oh so ...

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.) For anyone who believes donkeys don't ship, read below: 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 ...

The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: ANOTHER 911 for 5 Mama Donkeys. I HAVE NOT SEEN THE NEW DONKEYS. These pictures ABOVE are ones you previously saved. We have until Sunday evening to make this happen! We need to raise about $5000 to get these TEN lives saved. I have not seen the mamas, but were told they will most likely be foaling in the next month or two. This INCLUDES DELIVERY which is huge as fuel prices are insane right now and climbing higher almost every day. It is also wonderful as the truck is still not able to haul until repairs are done. We do have another Angel stepping up who says she will match up to $2500!!! Let's save these Mama's!! As far as the issues below, the one hay barn has been fixed, and we ended up with a much bigger load of hay than I was thinking. You are looking at about $4000 worth of hay, and I was budgeting for about half that. I am also thanking God that our hay guy is amazing!!! Doc laid down 6 colts for gelding yesterday. Boy were they a rowdy bunch. Colts 2, Gate - 0, one panel - 0 However, minus the bent gate and panel, everything went great. The kids are doing well and no injuries. However, that will be another nice chunk of a vet bill, lol. So as usual, never a dull moment. For folks that don't know, Google Donkeys killed for hides and you will see the horror in the numbers. Someone is trying to test my Faith. I know God has this, and I have faith in my Chilly Pepper Family to help us get this done. However, we have been slammed with emergencies all at once and I sincerely ...

The following is from All About Equine Animal Rescue: Some updates are too exciting not to share a little early. In the very near future, four of our horses will be heading out to begin their next chapters in two wonderful homes. As we prepare to say send them off to their forevers, we’re reminded again that these transitions don’t happen overnight, and they don’t happen alone. It takes time, care, and a community willing to stand behind every step of the process. There’s something special about seeing horses not just find homes, but find the right homes, together. Soon, two pairs of horses will head home, and we couldn’t be more excited for what lies ahead. BELLES + SKEETER Belles and Skeeter very kind and easy-going mid-teens mare who came to us underweight. She’s been steadily gaining strength and confidence with care. Skeeter, a stray who went unclaimed, started out a bit unsure of the world, but day by day, his confidence has grown, and his sweet, playful personality has really come through. Now, these two are heading home together. They are ready to keep building on the progress they’ve made with their new family. MILLIE + TORI Millie came to AAE with six other horses from a neglect case. She was thin, sore, and struggling, with hooves that needed extensive rehabilitation. Her recovery hasn’t been easy, but with time, patience, and a lot of care, she’s more comfortable, more relaxed, and starting to enjoy life again. Tori, who came from the same group, has come a long way, as well. With good nutrition, she's gained weight, and her hooves also needed extensive hoof rehab. She also recovered from a pasture injury. This duo has been part of the same story from the beginning, and now, they’ll get to ...

The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: We have 12 hours and 31 minutes to raise the $1625 to save these horses. I have to know by tomorrow at 9 a.m. if we can say Yes or they load up. We need $ for bail, transport, vetting and for gelding. We also need another load of hay. I have an amazing Angel who said "YES, SAVE THEM", AND is offering TO MATCH EACH AND EVERY DOLLAR UP TO $2500. We need to make those funds by Saturday. That will pay to save them, get them home, gelded and order a load of hay!! Please help now and share far and wide!! THANK YOU from all the critters! Please help and share far and wide.
