Shiloh's Hay Fund

Next hay delivery approx November 15, 2011.

Volunteer Needed for Possible Pick Up

We have some donations (buckets, used tack, one hay feeder, etc) that need to be picked up and brought out to Shiloh. We are looking for a volunteer to possibly pick them up for us.

The donated equiptment is located at All Storage in Las Vegas on Sahara, between Buffalo and Durango. The donations need to be picked up BY THIS SUNDAY AT NOON.

If you think that you might be able to pick them up, please email Jill at shilohhorse@aol.com and we will give you the contact information of the person who has them, that way you can arrange the pick up directly with her.

Thank you!

Back at Shiloh and our New Hay Fund...

Shiloh's biggest expense by far is Hay, and with Hay prices on the rise, we have created a new Hay Fund. To save money, we feed the large bales which cost approx $260-$280 per ton. With 120 horses currently in the rescue, we feed two large bales per day, which is equal to one ton per day. Subtracting the expenses of boarded and privately owned horses, which are NEVER paid for using donated money, the rescue horses hay costs approx $200.00 per day. Now people can become Hay Sponsors and can directly help us with this expense. While any amount to this Fund is appreciated I have broken it down into suggested increments:

One full day's hay donation (two large bales) is $200.00
Three quarters is $150.00
One half of a day's hay (one large bale) is $100.00
One quarter is $50.00


Looking for a gift for a birthday, Holiday or other big event for a horse crazy loved one? A donation to the Hay Fund is a perfect way to a difference to the rescue! Just click on the banner or link above to find out more information and to make a donation.

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!

Over in Gummie Saloon, new member Melvyn has hooked up with Heavenly and they were seen sharing Feed Fairy food...

Then it was time for the thing we were all dreading- moving the Easy Street horses out and moving the Boarders in. Now, the majority of the Easy Street horses are very elderly with arthritic legs and other health issues- not that you would know it becauset as soon as we went in- they all seemed to sense something was up and they all took off like a herd of wild Mustangs! Manes and tails flying, hooves thundering, quick turns, bucks, squeals, dust flying- it was a merry chase. There goes Ketchum now!

Old Wampum and Indio had a great time and outlasted and outplayed the rest of herd!

But, in the end, we got them all and off they went into Okay Corral and Big Pasture. Of course, that caused a whole new wild scene as they got used to their new homes and herd mates. With so many people helping out and so many horses moving around, in true Shiloh fashion, we had a few great escapes from the pastures. Finally, everyone settled down to their hay, no worse for wear...
