The Shiloh Cleanup and Some Help from the Girl Scouts...

I am behind in my blogging as Jedermann and I am currently in San Diego getting ready for our next horse show...


Last Saturday was Shiloh junk pile clean up day- something we all dreaded having to do. But with everyone pitching in, it was done quickly and looks way better.


Shiloh was also visited by a Girl Scout troop who brought lots of donations...


First of all, the Girl Scouts had to meet and hug little Florecita on the Cherry Pie grass...



The girls brought a whole trailer full of water and feed tubs, rubber mats, blankets, grooming equipment, tack, halters, etc. All of these donations were gathered at our vet, Desert Pines, and the girls gathered them up and brought them all out to the rescue. HUGE THANKS to the girls and the clients of DP who donated to Shiloh!

Even Aztec was excited and figured this must be what Christmas is like...


Afterward, the troop went to work grooming the horses in the Gummie Saloon. Everyone enjoyed that...
Even wandering Burro, Taquito got into the grooming action...


Meanwhile, over at the junk yard...


Everyone dug in and got to work. Here the guys drag out stuff that was buried by the wind...

The clean up task was daunting...


But, Sally got everyone organized.


Working hard!


Old metal was piled up to be hauled away, wood was piled up to be burned and everything was straightened up...We found lots of usable stuff that had been buried and unable to be reached...

The end result! Later, the guys added a fence line here to protect the junk pile from the wandering herds...


Thank you to everyone who helped out!
