Help Cowboy & 55 Wild Horses & Orphaned Foals
The following post is from Chilly Pepper Equine Rescue.
We want to thank those who helped us keep the 65 wild horses alive and well. The good news is that 10 were placed, so now we are down to 55 plus the babies. We are also taking care of other orphans while we find homes for these amazing horses.
The little baby on the left is COWBOY, and his mama is LACY. Cowboy is in serious trouble and definitely a special needs little boy. His knee is not only deformed but has some tiny fractures, and we have him and his mama here at Chilly Pepper – Miracle Mustang for some specialized care. He needs huge prayers!!! (Just got this update – looks like we might have a plan for Cowboy’s legs. It will be a lil bit spendy, but will give him a chance to have a life.)
We were on a mission to get y’all pix of the horses that need saving. We managed to get pix of Rojo and Waylon’s bands, but then had to stop and round everyone up so we could get hands on Cowboy and treat him. His mama had rejected him at birth, but Jan Hall (who has been feeding them since February), managed to finally get the mare to reattach emotionally.
The rest of the horses need their forever homes. In the meantime, we are needing to raise more monies to purchase fencing so we can lease land for them until they are adopted. It will be portable fencing so we should not have to raise money again for the same thing. The property in question is beautiful, big and has lots of water. In this area, water is worth more than gold.
So we will need to transport the horses, put up the fencing after it is purchased, and then continue to find homes for them. If you are interested in adoption, there is inexpensive gentling/halter training available.

We appreciate your help as this is the hardest part. Folks will jump up quickly during the “emergency”, but then rescues are left to support these horses and that can be a 30 year commitment. We also have several other special needs horses.
If you have room for a “pasture pet”, or one of the “special needs” horses, please contact us at 530 474 5197.
Thank you and God bless!
