Chilly Pepper – Horse down in the trailer. These horses need emergency surgery and medical asap
The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:
Quick Update
Yesterday was a bit terrifying as we watched the weak, emaciated, blind belgian struggling to get up after falling in the trailer. As you can see, he could barely get up, crashed on to the ground and was unable to rise for a long time. He literally quit and would have died if we did not have our emergency supplies. (Now I need to replenish our kit, as we used up all our stuff.)
Thankfully we carry emergency meds and supplies, and after a few hours of continuous care he was able to stand and eventually load into my trailer.
| It was a very slow and scary ride home. However, he did not fall again, and after more critical care last night, he did make it through the night and is doing a bit better. He is still not even close to being out of the woods yet. We were in contact with Doc and Dustin Time Rescue who actually pulled him. (Doc is sick and was unable to see him, but walked me through any questions that came up.) |
| Destiny’s eye is much worse. I am going to have to relieve some of the pressure until Doc can do her surgery. Her hoof actually scares me the most as it is split all the way up to her coronet band, and is oozing some type of infection. |
ALL these kids are in horrific shape and Benny is starving as well. He is literally skin and bones under all that hair. We still have not covered his costs to get to Fallon, nor the expenses to bring these kids home from there. I do not get paid for any of this, but I do need to pay my ranch hand. I am thanking God that my little voice said to bring Manny. None of us gals could have done what he did and the whole day was crazy. Loading a blind horse, especially one that has been falling down is very dangerous, but he handled it like a champ.
| I was told Destiny was horrible to load and would try to jump panels. Luckily, she and I had bonded, and I simply put a rope around her neck, made a halter and told her I was asking her, not telling her to load. I told her I couldn’t help her unless we got her home. I do know they don’t understand all our words, but they darn sure understand energy and she trusted me. She walked calmly up and put her foot in the trailer. I handed her rope to Manny and he walked her in the rest of the way. |
| We are going to need lots of help to fix her hoof, have her eye surgery, and get these precious kids everything they need. I was not expecting anything like what I found. Everything was so much worse. I am so grateful to Manny for being there, doing whatever I asked immediately and just being plain awesome. No one else I know is capable (physically for sure) of doing what was needed yesterday. Us old gals are simply too broken. |
Thank you as always for being there for Chilly Pepper and all the critters you helped save!

Chilly Pepper – Benny is on our trailer. Yayyy We still need help with this last-minute Miracle
The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:
| Benny is loaded on OUR trailer. I had to say YES even before he was fundraised for, or we would have lost him. I didn’t really have the funds per say, but figured it out short term, knowing we could make this happen. |
We only need $1360 to cover the bail and expenses so I can go meet the hauler and finally pick them up tomorrow.
| Even though we hadn’t fundraised what we needed, I acted on pure FAITH, as I know God always has this and I can always count on my amazing Chilly Pepper Family. I also know you would want me to do everything possible to save his life.
Thank you for everything, and please help if you can and share far and wide. I know we can “git ‘er done”. |
| Thank you as always for being there for Chilly Pepper and all the critters you helped save! |

Chilly Pepper – ONE MORE SPOT ON THE TRAILER – CAN WE FILL IT?????. URGENT 911
The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:
Got a 911 to fill the last spot on the trailer. My heart broke knowing we have already paid for the space, and another horse would ship to slaughter when all we needed was One More Miracle!!
We are Chilly Pepper – MIRACLE MUSTANG, and y’all have always come through. This just happened.
PLEASE HELP ME FILL THAT SPOT. Benny does not want to die. Let’s give him a Mustang Miracle.
I had to commit on faith. Please help me save him. I guess God had a reason for that trailer to not be loaded when it was supposed to. His plan is perfect, and I know in my heart we are supposed to save this guy as well.
He needs your help, and so do I.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I know we can do this!!

Chilly Pepper – Destiny needs more help asap. Can we also save a few babies????
The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:
It’s GO TIME AGAIN!!!
Meet “Mouse”. He is now at Chilly Pepper. He has a plethora of issues, and is beyond exhausted, weak and has some type of problem when eating. His feet are horrific and now we start his rehab.
We are still short funds for Destiny. Y’all covered most of the funds needed to secure “Mouse” and the hauling. Time is critical for Destiny. She will be loaded up on Friday and we need to make sure it is not on the slaughter truck.
| I was deeply saddened today. I was told there is “paid room” to save a few more lives, and there are lots of babies, mostly weanling or yearlings needing saved. They are big enough to load, and Destiny’s hauling fee would include enough space to bring them home. However, I cannot begin to think about adding more babies to the trailer when we still need to cover Destiny’s bail and hauling. |
| We had already committed to Mouse, and now that he is safe we need to make sure Destiny comes home and gets her surgery. I am praying for a miracle and that we do not waste the paid for space and can save at least one or more babies. |

Chilly Pepper – .ANOTHER CALL for a badly injured mare. (Pictures graphic) 24 hour deadline to say YES!
The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:
It’s GO TIME AGAIN!!!
Well we barely started the 1st rescue and I received a heartfelt plea to help Destiny. A couple of the pictures are graphic, but this is her reality, and I can only imagine she is in excruciating pain.
We still need about $2900 to cover the “Big Baby”, (we have raised a little over $500). That covers his bail and to get him transported to Chilly Pepper, (as well as covering his Coggins and health certificate etc.)
|
We need to raise about $4000 to get her safe and home to Chilly Pepper, and then she will need immediate surgery.
We normally rescue a lot closer to home, but occasionally we get a special call that I just can’t say no to. I am hoping y’all are with me. I am stepping out on faith and trusting we can save both of them. I actually was going to save her first, but was told it was too late. Today I got a message that she still had a chance and had not actually been shipped. So here we are. WILL YOU HELP US SAVE THESE PRECIOUS LIVES?
The critical care is our specialty, and these two need it. THANK YOU FOR STEPPING UP, DONATING AND SHARING

Chilly Pepper – BIG, BIG BABY – 911!! – Just a baby. Thrown away and headed to slaughter.
The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:
| It’s GO TIME!! 1st call of 2026. Look at those sad eyes. They tell a tale of neglect and a broken beginning. |
I received an urgent 911 call for this beautiful , sad, very BIG baby. He has already been thrown away like worthless garbage at only 2 years old. He has obviously been neglected and not properly fed. His hooves are broken and split to the point of being dangerous. He is severely knock kneed and his joints could already be damaged. Imagine being loaded and sent to slaughter because you are imperfect. Guess I would have been dumped a long time ago. :(
| Me heart broke when I saw him and looked into those eyes. I have to say YES!! He would be a wonderful addition to our Sunshine and Smiles Program, even if he can never be worked or ridden. He does NOT deserve to die. |
Will you PLEASE help me save him? He needs good groceries, farrier help, TLC and lots of supplements.
A perfect way to start the new year – Let’s save another life!!
I appreciate all your help. Each and every single dollar (donation) make all this happen. You guys make this possible, and the horses so appreciate being fed, having clean water and just to be able to live their lives as freely as possible. Thank you from all of us at Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang.
Thank you as always for being there for Chilly Pepper and all the critters you helped save!
Thank you again from all the Kids.

Chilly Pepper – Happy 2026! It’s the Year of the Horse! Quick Update – It’s Hay Time Again!
The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:
Quick update:
The water repair bill is paid in full. What a relief. Thank you, my amazing Chilly Pepper Family.
Sorry It’s been a while since I updated. I lost two very dear friends/family right before Christmas. It set me back for a bit, and I am so grateful to have had 2 such amazing women in my life. One of them was Leslie Adam’s, who was Lacy’s manager and dear friend. She also worked tirelessly to find support for Chilly Pepper, and she took a big chunk of my heart. They both did.
| It has been pretty calm here. Trying to get the quad repaired as I need to check about 20+ acres worth of fencing every day. It will be less expensive to fix the quad than pay someone else to check the fences. I am so grateful to have Manny (my part time ranch-hand). Your donations make that possible, and I am praying I get to keep him for a while. |
My bone is still broken around my prosthetic, so I need to be able to keep him on for at least a few hours a day to feed, water, etc.
| The cold weather has really kept the horses eating a bit more than normal. How wonderful to know that no one is shivering or cold, and they have enough to keep their bellies full in the frigid temps. They are running and playing and it is beautiful to see. Moonshine is still struggling, and we are watching her closely. She will be seeing Doc again this week to see what the best plan of action is for her. |
We will need some hay, salt blocks and more grain pretty soon.
| Hope all is well with you and your families. Again, I cannot begin to thank y’all for making this rescue so successful. Y’all are the heart and soul and I am so grateful for all of you. God has blessed Chilly Pepper and me so much. Let’s make 2026 a year to remember! |

Chilly Pepper – Tomorrow is Water Day!!!! Will you help us make it a reality?
The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:
Friday is Fun(d) Day – Because we will have our water fixed and that is alot more fun than hauling water.
We still need around $1400 to cover the work that needs to be done to fix the water issues. From needing $2600 to now needing the rough balance of $1400 is amazing. Thank you and I have Faith we can get the rest so the horses can have the water they so desperately need.
I have some sad news. Audrey, as her photo shows, gained her much needed weight and was looking fabulous. However, between the ongoing infection that Doc realized had travelled to her bone, and her horrible arthritis, she became unable to move without excruciating pain. Even the pain meds were not helping enough. We knew the “supposedly bonded” horses were both most likely Hospice cases when we were asked to take them, although we were hoping her surgery would be enough to give Audrey a lot more time. Audrey was the happiest, most loving horse, and absolutely thrived being “Mom” to the babies. Sadly, the more weight she gained, the more her pain became apparent. Add the brutal cold and her arthritis was simply too painful. She weighed (taped) over 1,400 pounds. I was shocked as although I knew she was a big horse, I can only imagine how much it hurt to carry that much weight.
We are trying to keep Moonshine as comfortable as possible, and Doc is watching closely. We still do not know what her best options will be, but for now we are trying to give Mama and her unborn baby as much time as possible. I will keep you posted and please say a prayer for Mama and Baby.
| I appreciate all your help. Each and every single dollar (donation) make all this happen. You guys make this possible, and the horses so appreciate being fed, having clean water and just to be able to live their lives as freely as possible. Thank you from all of us at Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang. |

Chilly Pepper – We do still have a Water 911…..
The following is from Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang:
The water situation is a bit dire. The total estimated costs to get the water fixed is $2400 +/-. This is not something that can be postponed or put off. The part that was already changed was $590, and they want to be paid for that today.
| I need to keep my ranch hand here until I am recovered from my injuries, (at the very least). He is unbelievable and does so much of the work for free. However, he does need to be paid something so I can keep him here. At this time, I medically cannot do what I need to do, so having him here is imperative to keep these animals cared for. |
In spite of the water emergency, everything else is going well, PTL! and the horses are healing from their personal horrors that some have previously experienced. THANK YOU, MY BEAUTIFUL CHILLY PEPPER FAMILY. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!
| If anyone would like to help us get the water fixed and keep my ranch hand, it would be much appreciated. |
| THANK YOU to our amazing donor(s) who paid off BOTH vet bills, and sent money to finish paying off the last load of hay and to order some Colostrum. Without your amazing support, this rescue would have to close, as so many are doing lately. |
My count was way off. We have 27 horses, many of whom are PR – Permanent Residents. This is due to being injured, special needs or part of our Sunshine & Smiles program. We are working on getting the unhandled kids halter trained, and ready for adoption, but it takes time and money. The following kids are who y’all take care of. With so many it reminds me why I need to keep fundraising for their feed, special needs, medical care, hay and supplements. (AFA – available for adoption.)
| The horses here are: Honeybandit (PR), Midnight Onxy, PR (30 yr blind ISPMB mustang) Anicka, PR (blind ISPMB mustang), Wendy, PR (terrified mustang that was brutally beaten and tripped.) Grandpa Phantom, PR (wild, very old mustang), Misty, PR? (aka bullethead) came in shot in the head but doing wonderfully.) DaBubbles PR (mini survived Mt. Lion attack), Ratchet, PR (mini hinny). Little Man, (huge BLM colt with OCD, whom would have been euthanized). PR?? |
Samsung, AFA (16? yr old, failed bucking draft cross). Feather AFA (4 yr old previously starved /abused mustang filly). Tarzan AFA (11 yr old unhandled mustang). Miracle AFA (4 yr old? Blind in1 eye – unhandled mustang).Morengo AFA (Gorgeous 5 yr mustang – currently in training)
Apollo AFA (3 yr old unhandled mustang), Dakota, PR (5ish Cryptorchid stallion – unhandled & going blind), Tyler PR mini. Rowdy PR – donkey. Lilah AFA? badly abused donkey. Reba AFA? (4 ish unhandled donkey). Jax PR (abused gelding grandpa who had the stab wound). Taco AFA (1-2 yr old as yet unhandled colt). Cherry AFA (>1 yr- ? beautiful filly who had horrific ankle injury – healed & ready to start). Audrey PR (Very old mare with ongoing medical issues due to complications from the plate in her leg.)
