I AM SO EXHUASTED.
Moon had her baby last night but we couldn’t go live because mares were foaling in quarantine, babies were being referred to hospital (you haven’t met them yet) and my phone went from 80% to 3% from the amount of calling, scheduling, moving around.
I was on the phone for 70% of her birth.
I really wanted to get this on camera for you guys. I’m sorry. Sometimes this job doesn’t always allow for what I want.
In the midst of all of that I was also negotiating for the 11 bound for Mexico.
I haven’t slept yet so if this makes no sense— I apologize. Ally is sleeping now so I can sleep on the dive up and handle the morning fundraising.
We were able to get 8 of the 11 via overnight fundraising and Cody perhaps hearing the absolute desperation and exhaustion in my voice turned the Mexico truck around.
This won’t happen every time. I know it got him in trouble.
But I really appreciate that large act of kindness.
It’s not as simple as wavering his hand and it’s done. He’s going up to bat against his Dad when he does that stuff and I know it costs him.
So please help me help Cody but making those final 3 safe as quickly as possible.
Then we can focus on the zoo truck leaving this evening.
All horses transferred to hospital doing ok.
And meet “Sprite” — Moon’s long awaited filly. She’s a direct replica of her mother. Born strong and healthy with just a bit of spice!
Supporting animal rescue operations, especially those involving medical emergencies and transport logistics, requires not only dedication but significant community involvement. As someone who’s volunteered with similar rescue missions, I’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming the process can be—from coordinating hospital care for injured animals to fundraising desperately for transport costs. One of the most challenging moments is when new foals are born, as they demand around-the-clock attention and care. The excitement of welcoming a healthy foal, like Sprite, is always tempered by the intense effort to keep both mare and baby safe and healthy. It’s easy to underestimate the crucial role that timely financial support plays. Even small donations can help cover critical veterinary costs or fuel for trucks transporting the animals to hospitals or sanctuaries. Fundraising usually happens amidst chaos—phones ringing nonstop, logistics constantly shifting, and volunteers often working on very little rest. The emotional and physical exhaustion is real, but so is the reward when a truck turns around to save animals from dangerous situations, just like the 11 horses headed to Mexico were saved thanks to last-minute fundraising and a compassionate decision. If you’re inspired to help, the best way is through consistent support—sharing donation links, spreading the word about each urgent case, and participating in community-driven fundraising events. Every bit of kindness counts in giving these rescued horses a chance at a better life. My experience has shown that behind every animal saved, there’s a network of people who care deeply, and your contribution is what makes these rescue stories possible.
