Another Beautiful Few Days at Shiloh...

The weather has been just perfect out at the ranch although it is very cold at night and in the early mornings.

Some wonderful news as Laguna and Brisa were both adopted to new homes. Laguna headed off to her new home and Brisa will remain boarded at Shiloh...
Sharil and Felipe get their horses ready for a ride...
Wandering POA, Cowboy, looking cute as always...
Breeze wandered over to say hello...
The Shiloh wanderers held their daily meeting under CityCenter...
While Trucker and Brisa enjoyed the turn out...
There goes Trucker! Even though his best friend, Brisa, was adopted today, they will still remain roomates. Brisa and Trucker are a great pair and are happy together...
Brisa and her new happy owner, Rachael. Brisa is a one and one half years old very sweet Thoroughbred filly who has a nice bright future ahead of her...
Speaking of bright futures- little Sunday is now almost three and a half and is progressing in his training. Here, with the help of Eric, his owners Dave and Deonna get him used to carrying a rider. Sunday looks like he is going to stay pony sized- he is so cute!

Thanks Dave!
Ed came up with a great idea. Whenever we have a downed horse (like one of our old guys) we have to pull them into our horse trailer in order to get them to the vet where they can be treated. With our huge elderly population, unfortunately, this is something that we need to do at least once a month or so. So, we figured out we need some sort of sled that we can roll the horses onto to make it easier to move them and get them up the trailer ramp. Ed figured out that he can customize an old heavy plastic truck bed. He trimmed it and out holes on it for handles. It's a great idea and will really come in handy in emergencies.
I decided to try it out- it worked great! We have dubbed it the Ed Sled...
