Great news as Hickory was able to return home to Shiloh this morning. His blood work is still a bit off, and he is on an immune boosting medication, but, so far, he is safe and sound back at the rescue! We are still keeping a close eye on him.
A busy Monday as both Laguna and Silverado were put on adoption pendings. These are two nice Thoroughbreds and they deserve great homes of their own. Rescue is not always the best home for all horses and we like horses to move on into homes where they are loved and cared for with all the attention and spoiling they deserve.
Elisa worked hard to day riding and working with horses. Elisa has joined the Shiloh team as another rider to help us evaluate and get horses ready for new homes.
Inspirada was able to be moved back into the Bungalows, which had flooded for the millionth time this past weekend. We finally got smart and moved the water pipes to a better location. Of course, we should have done this along time ago, but then we would have missed all of the "fun" of shuffling horses around when it floods!
We changed Journey's splint, so far so good. There does not appear to be any infection and she handles the splint well, although she HATES for us to work on it!
Echo Echo is now very swollen from his castration, so we had to increase his movement. This is not easy as he has laminitic feet, but he did a little trotting today which will help. He is a good boy and likes any attention.

Glad you engineered a more permanent fix for the water issues- what a bother that must have been! Glad Hickory is hanging in there, and poor Echo is surviving the "change" in his "manhood." Sweet Journey- glad her leg is not becoming infected, and she is tolerating her care... but what about little Inspirada? I keep running to the computer each day, thinking there will be new baby news! Does her baby just not want to come out? What happens then- do you "induce labor" for horses? She's just sooooooo big- poor thing looks as big around as she is tall... Hope all is well at Shiloh...
