Desert Mirage Rescue

Incoming vet bills today... if anyone has a few spare dollars to help with some hay and/or with a gelding vet bill... our small rescue would sure be appreciative. We will post the full bill as soon as we get it, but we're easily looking at a few hundred dollars in gelding fees for the 3 cryptorchids we took in this past year. Alfalfa is currently running $18.75 a bale, Bermuda is running $19.50 a bale. We're feeding 7 bales of hay and 3 bermuda a day right now!! We also are spending $24.50 every 3 days on alfalfa pellets for some of the seniors. To say we could use some community support now more than ever is an understatement.

The day is here!!!

I have a very small, small page. But if you're willing to donate on this wonderful holiday weekend we would love it. Or, mash the heart button to show support.

Small rescues are struggling right now. More and more people are giving up their horses. And more and more burden is being put on small groups trying to keep horses out of the pipeline.

Mass bailers seem to have no issue getting donations. But, the little people like me, we struggle. If you've ever wanted to help a horse in need, why not one you can follow?

This little one deserves a chance. They all deserve a chance. Right now, I could use some donations towards feed. No huge goal. Just a bale or two. Just whatever people can help with. Because helping the little rescues is definitely impactful.

Michelle underwent a craniectomy on 11/19/25. Neurosurgeons removed a small piece of her skull that had a tumor growing on it. The skull is on its way to be tested further. A medical wire mesh and mold was put over the hole in the skull and has been sealed shut.

It will be a 2-4 week recovery.

As everyone knows, Michelle's paycheck covers the rescue horses expenses, and right now that check is being pulled thin. If you have the ability to donate, thank you. If all you can do is share and send good vibes, that is great as well. Michelle is just trying to make sure her horses have everything they need while she is in recovery.

Thank you again, everyone, for your help and support during this time.

It is official... I'm going in for a craniectomy on 11/19. While I'm not at all worried about the procedure or the recovery... I am wanting to make sure I have hay stocked up in the barn for that two week recovery (so that my mom or sister don't have to go get it, unload it, etc.).

If you're open to donating a few bales of hay to help me stock up, here is the easiest way to do it:

Or, reach out and I can give you the contact info for my feed store!

Happy New Year from Tucson!

I've had a few people reach out this morning, asking what the rescue could best use for 2025. Right now, the answer is simple... alfalfa, bermuda, and standardbread alfalfa pellets. All of these rescue and sanctuary horses eat, eat, eat and the one thing we always need is feed.

Want to donate some? There are several ways. I have PayPal and Venmo and I'll drop the links to both below.

As I always tell people, we greatly appreciate anything, as it all ads up. But, we also just love sharing photos of our progress.
