A Hot Friday

It was hot out there today! Not sure what the exact temp was, but I heard it was supposed to get up to 115 degrees on Monday! Yikes!


All the chores got done. We worked on getting automatic floats onto the water buckets. It so hot that it is an endless job to keep the buckets filled. Almost all of the areas are on automatics now. The problem is that the hoses break down in the heat and eventually leak, or the horses "play" with the floats...


Rocky Road got a bath by Linda. He leaves on Monday for his new home and future!

Sharil put in an application for a $500.00 Grant from the MGM Voice Foundation and we got it! Here is Sharil presenting the check to us. :o) Thank you Sharil for thinking of the Shiloh Horses and thank you MGM!

Salsa took a dust nap in the middle of the barnyard area.

Bombay is looking great. She is such a nice mare who will make someone a wonderful riding horse. Thanks to Tanya who groomed her for her photos...

Elisa worked Broadway...

Pepperoni got a bath, so did her friend Susie Q.

A meeting of minds under City Center. Sally and Tanya are discussing Roy, who has been acting a bit weird over the past few days. We decided to play it safe and had him trailered into the vet clinic for a check. He has an impaction and is showing minor colic signs. He is being treated with oil and water. It's just so hot out here and sometimes the horses just do not drink enough water to keep things running smoothly. It's a hazard of desert living with horses. We always have to watch everyone closely at this time of year, especially our seniors...
