Shiloh Horse Rescue: The Past Few Days!

As it always seems to be lately, I have fallen behind in blogging! I do try to post everyday but somedays I just can't find the time. Sorry!

A new Shiloh sign on our main gate- all visitors, volunteers and boarders- please keep the gates securely closed. The chain needs to be wrapped around the gate and clipped securely. Margarita and Tamale (two of our wandering Burros) have figured out how to open the gate and they now love to go over to the ranch across the street to eat their feed! If everyone can just double check the gate that would be great and a big help to our neighborly relations!

Okay, now this is cool! For those of you who haven't already seen this on Shiloh's Facebook, fifteen years ago an artist painted a wonderful mural of Tony on the 101 Freeway in Hollywood. It was recently moved off of the freeway by the original artist and repainted on a safer location on Hollywood Blvd. Tony LOVED the freeway mural and whenever we were in Los Angeles, we always had to drive by it. When it was moved a few months ago, I was contacted by the artist who asked me if I wanted the original freeway mural. Of course, I said yes! After thinking about where I could place it at the ranch, I decided on the side of my new ranch house. So he came out this past weekend and installed it for me. I am so excited, this mural meant so much to Tony and now it is always going to be with me. I know he would like that... (Please ignore the bare "scorpion habitat" of my new house- I haven't moved in yet or done any landscaping!)

Up close with one of Tony's quotes. Notice the stamp, which used to read Hollywood, now says Mountain Pass- the Ranch's location...

I posed with Tanis for perspective, it is really big and so cool!

Meanwhile, back on the rescue side of the ranch...

We let Pokie Dot out to wander for a while. We have found that sometimes the shy horses do well with some time of freedom. Once they realize that all is good and no one is going to hurt them, and that we are actually ignoring them a bit- they usually begin to seek out attention from us. Pokie already will come up for a carrot, something she did not want to do in her corral...

Moztec and Baja by the cube trailer...

Spur in the Dogvilla. VISITORS AND VOLUNTEERS- PLEASE make sure to keep the Dogvilla sliding glass dog shut- they have a heater in there which keeps their room really cozy in the cold weather. If you go in there please shut the door!

Jimmy Dean in his straw with a blanket for added warmth...

Sally's Skeeter is tough enough to wear pink everyday! She made a neck gator out of a sock- it works great and helps to keep him warm in the bitterly cold mornings at the ranch...

Florecita and her mom are now officially living in the Cherry Pie area where they have access to two barn stalls. Here is Florecita checking out her new surroundings...
