Friday

Still no Inspirada baby- she cannot go much longer though! This is the "fun" of waiting for a foal, there is no rushing it, we just have to wait, be patient, and let Nature take it's course...

Angus, a Shiloh Horse who was adopted out over a year ago, returned to Shiloh today. His adoptive family went through some changes over the past few months and they wanted to make sure they did right by Angus, so we welcomed him back to the rescue. He is SUCH a cute little horse and he looks wonderful thanks to his adoptive family and their care. He was originally rescued from the slaughter auction in UT. He was named "Angus" because his big white face reminded us all of a cute cow! Once he is re-evaluated, he will be looking for a new loving home.

Today was Hay Day, we had three (yes, three) semi truck loads delivered. We literally go through tons of hay a day. It is BY FAR our biggest expense for the rescue, especially now that hay is reaching $250 per ton!

With all the horses who have been adopted lately, we were able to move horses around today. We moved some of our Thoroughbreds out of pasture where they were being rehabbed and put them in the Duplex pens and The Corner. They will begin their evaluations for adoption. Big thanks to Cheri and Sharil who helped move the horses around.

Stetson, Laramie, and Kelso were moved from The Fear Factor pen to the Big Pasture where Stetson and Kelso enjoyed a nice gallop in their new home (see video below).


We are taking videos now of the rescue so that everyone can see what Shiloh looks like. We are planning on having panoramic videos of all our areas, such as the pastures, corrals, etc. We are currently posting them on youtube and this blog, but we are also making a page on our website. Check some of them out!

Great videos of the rescue! I saw my sweetheart, NASDAQ- he was certainly lying down on the job, wasn't he? He found some lovely shade and wasn't budging! All he needed was a La-Z-Boy and a remote control and he would remind me of... Just kidding!
