Emergency backup care: I'm a single parent of 8 four-legged kids

I have two ponies, two horses, and three barn cats. The Shetland ponies (2 and 18 y/o) are in-training. They are in a separate paddock. I muck it out regularly but that's an optional duty. One horse (20+ y/o) is bomb proof, but she needs special care for an eye condition including an eye mask during the day and medications. The other horse is a recent rescue who is still adjusting. All horses are fed and provided fresh water and hay every morning (~6am) and evening (~5pm). The cats get water and food every morning and food is put away in the evening to prevent scavengers. I have a senior dog(13), but he is a service dog and may only need care under special circumstances. I don't have family nearby and I'm the sole caretaker. I'm looking for a backup contact if I am unable to care for these kiddos.
