The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: Wow, Sadly, the horses were in much worse shape than I thought. Audrey needed emergency surgery today!!! and that is what happened this morning. I was concerned, as we were still around $2000 short even before the surgery. I had to go on pure Faith, and said YES to the surgery. Several hours later, the phone rang. One of our donors had seen we were short the $2000+ for the rescue and said she WILL MATCH EVERY PENNY up to $1000. Any funds donated after (2:24) on Thursday afternoon will be matched up to $1000. Woohooo! Prayers answered. So with her amazing matching funds, we can at least reach the funds needed to ...

The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: Hi, Audrey and Trojan still need your help. Which one do we save? We are short a little over half the funds needed. We have raised $1936 towards the $5000 needed. Thank you everyone who has stepped up so far. These lives are precious! These funds include transport, vetting, coggins, special feed, meds, etc. so we can offer these kids the care they desperately need. Saving the horse is the easy part. It is pretty obvious we could be looking at some serious vet bills. The hauler is scheduled for tomorrow. Will You help make this happen? Any amount will help. I am at a loss as to what else to do. I ...

The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: Hi, It's crunch time. I said I would take these 2 critical care cases. However, we have raised approximately $350 towards the $5000 we are expecting to need when you consider hauling, vetting, special care and possibly surgery. We need more clay as well. If we can't raise enough to take care of these two kids and give them a chance at a decent life, then I cannot have them picked up. Y'all raised most of the money we needed for Miracle, and he is chilling at Chilly Pepper. However, we need funds for these precious souls. THEY RODE THESE HORSES AT A KID'S CAMP IN THIS CONDITION. Animal control is involved, but ...

The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: Hi, Wow, you can't even make this stuff up. I received an urgent call for "Miracle". Miracle is described as a cryptorchid, one-eyed, unhandled 7-13 year old stallion who WILL BE SHOT IN THE HEAD by the previous owner this coming Saturday or Sunday if he is not picked up and off the property. He looks like he could possibly need surgery on his eye, and that surgery and the cryptorchid surgery can be extremely expensive. For those who might be wondering, when a stallion is a "cryptorchid", it means one of his testicles did not drop and is floating around or stuck somewhere in his abdomen. Right now, all I am concerned ...
