Weds, back at Shiloh

DON'T FORGET:TCM is showing 24 hours of Tony Curtis movies today!
As most of you know, Tony is Shiloh's biggest supporter. There would not be a Shiloh without Tony's generosity.

So, if you have the time, catch one of TC's great movies! Enjoy!

A hot Wednesday out at Shiloh. It is so nice being home and seeing all the horses again.

Susie Q, a Shiloh horse who was adopted three years ago, returned to Shiloh due to her old age. She will live out her live with us now. She was very well cared for and loved in her adoptive home, but her advanced age was causing her problems and her owner was concerned for her.
Shadow's cute face!
Reason, a Thoroughbred mare, is doing great. She is fun to ride and sound. She is looking for her new home.

Fred, the huge draft Mule (below), is having a hard time lately. It's harder and harder for him to get back up after lying down. He is in his 30's and we are getting a bit worried about him. He's such a neat old guy. One side of his hindquarters is atrophied and much weaker. We think it is probably from nerve damage from his mountain packing days.

He's up with some help...
He walks away...
Notice the difference in Fred's hindquarters. One side is atrophied, the other normal. Starwood gets some love...

The tree area in the Big Vacation Village pasture. This is one of my favorite areas on the ranch, it's so nice back in the trees...

Fred is one of my favorites out there. I hate to see him going downhill. He is such a love. He will put that big ol head of his against your chest when you pet him. Hope to see him soon.
