Monday's Happenings

FIRST OFF CALYPSO AND ARSON UPDATE: Well, CALYPSO is still showing colic signs and the vets are becoming more concerned that it is caused by a stone in her intestines. (For those of you who don't quite know what that is, check this out.) Sadly, if it is the case, we will have to make the hard decision to euthanise her. We are hoping that with the aggressive treatment she is receiving at the clinic that it will help her and allow her to turn the corner. Let's all think about her for the next 24 hours. ARSON: He is still swollen, but it has subsided a little bit with the aggressive antibiotics he is one. His eye is less swollen and he is a little bit perkier. They are both staying in the clinic.


It was a busy day today. Shiloh received a wonderful donation of almost 300 bags of shavings! They were kindly donated by horsewoman, Sherry, who couldn't use them at her facility. This is an incredible donation, this is over a year's worth of shavings! We are so excited- but the hard part is, Sally and I had to load them in the horse trailer! We loaded (along with Sherry's help) 150 this morning, another 150 more tomorrow. Both Sally and my arms feel like Spaghetti! :o) We have recruited Elisa and Tonya to help us in the morning.


The Shiloh trailer, and the Big Boss Truck, were stuffed!

Back at Shiloh, Rebel enjoyed a nice sun nap. The ranch is finally drying out a bit and many horses spend time laying in the warmer sun.

Elisa and Tonya worked horses. Here they are with Mercali and Tommy Haflinger.

Elisa has started Mercali under saddle, he is doing wonderfully.

Tommy!
Daisy wandered over to Jill's Pasture to visit with Tanis, Zuiderzee, and Sage. Daisy was marching all over the ranch!

Look who's coming to dinner! It's Kevin Bacon...

Sonny and Cher took a nice sun nap in their straw outside of their houses. Sausage Patti was spending all of her day in Assisted Living ...

Look at sweet Jingle Bell! Is she just the cutest old girl? She is getting so frisky now! She loves her barn stall, when we take her out of the turn out, we just let her go, and she trots all the way back home...

I think she is looking better already...

We have three new arrivals coming later tonight from the Reno area. They are all seniors and I will have photos and more about them on tomorrow's blog....
