Looking back on her page, I had written this when she first arrived at Shiloh: 8/10/08 A man came to the ranch today with "this horse, and told the volunteers at Shiloh that he got this horse from a "tweaker" in Pahrump, and had to get rid of this horse." He also stated that "if we do not take the horse, he will dump it in the desert or shoot it. Either way, he was not going to be driving the horse back to Pahrump."
Olympia had a good horse life iduring her years at Shiloh- she lived in our pastures and was always surrounded by friends. The last few months she lived in our Super Gummie pen as her age was catching up and she was finding it more difficult to keep her weight on. She was happy right up to this morning, well loved and cared for.
Not long after her arrival... 
Later in her Shiloh journey... Rest in peace, Olympia. We love you.

So sorry for everyone involved. She was beautiful. RIP, Olympia.
I'm so grateful you were there to give such quality to her life.
She looked beautiful. So sorry.
I am sorry that you lost Olympia, but the man who brought her to you, as vile as he sounded with his threats, did the right thing by her. She had the chance to enjoy several wonderful years and learn that people can be kind and loving. That says it all, in my book.
Olympia's early and later pictures show that she was well-loved and cared for in her last years. Thank you for your kindness to her and to all your animals.
