This is a rough one. We need so much help with these precious souls. Y’all met the “matching funds”and they were used for bail, transport, existing vet bills in NV, & paying the guys to haul, break down, and put up the new shelter.
These horses are in rough condition. The little baby named Barkley, appears to be going blind. He has issues with both eyes, and a badly infected leg. Stormy appears to possibly have a broken jaw? We had Doc out for an emergency vet visit to make sure we were not torturing her waiting for a regular appointment. He is going to sedate her, check out her mouth and then do x-rays to see what actual damage there is, and to possibly schedule surgery. Scarlett has a horrible injury on her leg and another injury that is infected on her side. Most of the time I don’t even see the horses, and I never have any real idea about injuries etc.
We need to pay off the panels, which is another $2,000, the vet bill in WA which is about $3500, order more hay, grain, special feed for the babies and more clay.
Raising money is difficult in this economy. I know folks get tired of it, I know I AM extremely tired of doing fundraisers. I think some people forget that I don’t get paid, am working with a broken leg, and am simply doing my best to keep saving the horses. But for EACH AND EVERY ONE THAT YOU (WE) SAVE, IT IS A TRUE EMERGENCY AND IT IS BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH! It’s so hard to say yes sometimes because I have to be able to care for them and pay the folks who help out while I am broken.
I also received a call about a big, starving, older draft horse. I cannot begin to think about saying yes if we can’t cover the day to day and costs for the horses we have rescued. Winter is coming, and I know we have to be prepared. IF folks want to help and we get enough to cover at least most of the expenses, I would definitely try and help the draft horse. Until then, I simply can’t say yes to him today.
I so appreciate ALL MY CHILLY PEPPER FAMILY, but lately I wonder if it is time to slow down and step away. With the economy this unstable, I wonder if folks will still want to keep saving as many as we can. Again, I am willing to do the work, but have to be able to care for any that we save that end up being permanent residents.
