The Pahrump Auction

Great news as Shiloh Volunteer, Cheri and her sister Cindy saved one of the Pahrump, NV Animal Control Horses at today's auction!

Cheri and Cindy were helped out with long time friend of Shiloh, Lisa, who lives in Pahrump. Lisa saved the older gelding for a mere $20.00, while the Shiloh Girls saved the older stallion for $40.00. The third mare went for over $1300.00, so she was safe.

Thanks to Cheri, Cindy, Lisa, evryone who emailed Shiloh about this auction, and everyone who offered to help us help these horses- the two older horses are safe from slaughter!

The girls brought the stallion home to Shiloh this afternoon, where he is settling in.

Sally and Jill were out of town, but that did not stop caring people from stepping up and helping these needy horses get to a place of safety.

Great Job everyone!

Tomorrow we will post about Sally and Jill's trip to the CA horse show to see Shiloh Horse, Pacific, compete. This was a 3 star Three day Event, with some riders competing to qualify for this Summer''s Olympic Games.

What a wonderful deed you did today, Cheri, Cindy, and Lisa! Congratulations on saving those poor horses! Don't you just wonder what the rescued horses are thinking upon their arrival at Shiloh... something like "Is this Heaven?" Kind of a 'Field of Dreams' moment, for those of us old enough to remember the movie... Jill and Sally, hope the show is going swimmingly- can't imagine the kind of talent you are seeing, horse and rider alike!!!

Oh how wonderful!!! I am glad that others came together and saved those boys!!! What a wonderful end to a sad story. Too bad the Pahrump News doesn't do a follow on those horses to show there are places that will take animals that are no longer considered "useful".

Yeah!!!! I'm so happy to hear that :)
Makes my whole day, and the horses too I'm betting.
God Bless you all...
