The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: ANOTHER CALL I received a call today for this beautiful "SENIOR PONY" He is in his 20's, and has a few health issues. He needs his lil hoofers done, special feed and has to have some teeth pulled right away. He has had some damage to his coffin bone, (it's lightly rotated, but the vet said with proper care he should have another 10 years or so.) He will be a permanent part of our Chilly Pepper Family and a star in our Sunshine and Smiles Program. Will you help Grandpa Sonny? As you can see he is a long way from ready to quit. Several folks thought he should be euthanized, but luckily he had an advocate who saw him for who he was and said no. He will need to be assessed further by Doc, and have his dental work done asap. We know, from the Vet who checked him out two days ago, that he needs at least 2 teeth pulled along with some additional dental care. We need funds for his transportation, (approximately $650), funds for his initial vetting, hoof trims, meds and to get his teeth done. We also need to purchase special low carb feed and hay for him. WILL YOU PLEASE HELP US GET GRANDPA SONNY HOME TO CHILLY PEPPER? Thank you so much for being part of our Chilly Pepper Family. Blessings for a beautiful holiday season and remember your glass can always be "half full".

The following is from All About Equine Rescue: Meet Miss Lillie Mae! She is an adorable 8-10 year old jenny who came to AAE after auction and through Auction Horses Rescue. She completed quarantine (standard protocol for new intakes), and now, she is now being doted on daily. We don’t know much about her past, but her hoof care has been neglected for a long time, and she's had intermittent lameness. So, we had Dr. Stolba out for radiographs early to evaluate. She's very clubby and appears to have contracted tendons. Thanksfully, it's not a laminitis/founder issue. She is a bit resistant to hoof handling and farrier care, and because of the tendon issues, we're taking it slow (baby steps). Fortunately, she had her first trim (and deworming), and she's looking so much better already. Lillie Mae is scheduled for her dental, vaccines, and microchip next week. Lillie Mae is very sweet, and we are eager to get to know her better. She has the cutest ears, the cutest face, and the cutest bray! Admit it, she's simply cute, cute, cute! Lillie Mae enjoyed some peanut butter for National Peanut Butter Day today! She was one of the few from the entire herd who actually liked it! Lillie Mae is not ready for adoption just yet, but in the meantime, she needs a sponsor (or a team of sponsors) to help support her care costs. Learn more and sign up here. Your donations, volunteering, adopting, and social media shares & likes really do make a difference and make all of this work possible! Thanks for your gracious and continued support of AAE! Mud Stinks! Can you help keep the horses out of the mud by giving them the gift of a stall mat? We're in the middle of rainy season, ...

The following is from All About Equine Rescue: Short Notice, but it looks like there's a Break in the Rain, Today! We have about 600' to go. New panels arrived yesterday, and they were all laid out along the entire stretch. They're ready to go. This stretch is all pipe panels. We'll stand the panels, clamp them, and attach to t-posts. If needed, we'll add t-posts, too. It's super important we get this done, ASAP. Is anyone available TODAY (Sunday 1/21/24) in Pilot Hill! We have a break in the rain, and we could sure use some help? We shouldn't need as many people as last week....we got 1300' done!!

The following is from All About Equine Rescue: All About Equine Animal Rescue, Inc. A RAGS TO RICHES STORY: WHISKEY It's only been a couple of weeks since we told Whiskey's story, but we are so proud of the progress this guy is making, we need to give him another update!! Whiskey is truly going to be a rags to riches story; as a matter of fact, he already is. (Don't miss his video, below). Whiskey came to AAE through a nearby law enforcement situation. He is an estimated early-teen Arabian gelding. He was a stallion when he arrived, and he was a difficult one at that. He'd been neglected, beaten/abused, and despite his former family's attempts to rehome him, no one wanted Whiskey. He was tied with a rope around his neck, and he walked in circles for years. They said no one was able to halter him, and he was mean. When we picked him up, he accepted a halter fairly easily, though being at the end of a rope made it much easier. He was hesitant, but given a little time, he loaded into the trailer willingly. He knew he was going somewhere better. The easy was short lived. Once at AAE, he turned into a bit of a "donkey". He snarled his nostrils and lips, he pinned his ears, and he charged with intent at anyone approaching him or his food. Likewise, walking a horse anywhere nearby triggered him. He was a bit of a beast. It was understandable, but far from appropriate behavior. It's not often we say dangerous, but he was, and he was truly one strike away from euthanasia. Euthanasia isn't something we take lightly. We've never euthanized a horse for dangerous behavior, and this was only the second time it was seriously ...

The following is from Chilly Pepper - Miracle Mustang: Happy 2024 THANK YOU for helping save so many lives. Our Chilly Pepper Family is amazing, and I love and appreciate ALL OF YOU! Jasmine, the sad, skinny, mare that was headed for slaughter, (obviously intentionally), is now safe and sound in her new home. Her description turned everyone away except the kill buyers and Chilly Pepper. She has shown NONE of those things she was accused of. The woman who picked her up for me and did her assessment knows how to treat an animal. She fell in love with her and has adopted her._ I'm thanking God I listened to that little voice and we gave her a chance. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. This winter is tough. We lost a shelter last night, and thankfully no one was under it. It's been snowing every day, and it doesn't look like it will end soon. Well now we have lost 4 shelters in a 12 hour period. Trav could see them crumple while he was working on some of the others. Too much wet, heavy, snow. A couple were from last year or before, so those losses are understandable. However, this is definitely inconvenient at best. Several feet of snow also makes it a bit more interesting on crutches. I know God has a plan, so I am doing one day at a time and getting out the year end, donation receipts. The horses seem to be enjoying the snow, and when you see ice and snow on their coats, it means they are warm and cozy inside. If they were losing body heat, the snow and ice would be melting and they would be shivering. God sure knew what he was doing. Thank you so much for being part of our Chilly Pepper ...

The following is from All About Equine Rescue: Happy New Year! It's that exciting time of year for new beginnings, reflections, and resolutions. At All About Equine Animal Rescue (AAE), we're eagerly turning the page to a new chapter, one filled with renewed dedication to our mission of providing second chances for a healthy and loving life to horses and animals who have fallen victim to unfortunate circumstances.   In December, we showcased some of our most current equine stories. These were stories of hope, resilience, determination, and new beginnings. With your continued support, AAE can continue to grow and expand upon this important work.   One way to help is to consider making a legacy gift to AAE in your estate plan. Estate gifts have been instrumental in AAE’s growth, including the purchase and development of AAE’s new rescue facilities, increasing our sustainability, and enabling us to help more horses in the long term. Creating a will or irrevocable living trust (trust) and leaving a portion of your estate to a nonprofit organization such as AAE creates a legacy for those causes you are passionate about. It can also provide substantial tax savings. AAE has partnered with FreeWill to provide a free, easy-to-use online platform where you can create a will or trust in a short amount of time. Create a Legacy Gift Several of our December stories told of horses who came to AAE because of an owner’s death, declining health, or incapacity, and they had nowhere else to go. As a responsible animal owner, it’s important to include animal trust provisions as part of your estate plan. This ensures that your animal family members have a safe place to go in the event of an unexpected death or health issue. Without such planning, animals, especially horses, often face uncertain futures. It is also important to communicate in advance with a potential guardian, ...
