An Early Monday

Sally and I are working in town with Tony all of this week, so we are getting out to the rescue by 5:30am and leaving by 9am. It was so nice and peaceful out there that early, a nice cool breeze was blowing and all of the horses were just waking up...

Okay Corral starting their breakfast...

Moses and more of the Okay Corral herd...

Old guy Poker eats his senior feed...

Fame is now in the Medical Area. We are treating her stapled sore, it's looking good but we put this fly sheet on to keep the flies off. We have such bad flies this summer, I think the unusually wet weather we had created a fly population boom! Our poor Fly Predators just can't keep up!

BB, on his own and eating like a big horse...

Little Daisy during the Breakfast Club...

This is Sadler, he returned to Shiloh this past weekend. His old racing days caught up with him, he was showing lameness in his hip and he just couldn't hold up to the jumping that he was doing. Although he wasn't staying sound enough for over fences work, he was otherwise doing really well in his adoptive home and he looks wonderful. Big thanks to Esther and Talisman Farms for taking such great care of him! After some time off at Shiloh in one of our pastures, we will re-evaluate him for possible adoption to a pleasure riding home. I couldn't get a better photo of him because he wouldn't take his head out of the feed manger! :o)

Cowboy is now a Wanderer. He still isn't quite sure if he is supposed to be loose or not and is sticking close to the Mare Motel. He will eventually realize he has forty acres to wander and a Wandering herd to join...

The Hickey Family was also at Shiloh early. Here is Kody with Charm...

Speaking of the Wandering herd- here they are!
