The Weekend

A busy weekend at Shiloh...
Mojo stopped during his trip from the Blind Girls' Pen into the Duplex. See how he goes between areas? But, he does it so nonchalantly now that he just stops halfway through to see if there are any dropped scraps of feed. Only at Shiloh...
Wanderer Trigger...

Robin spent some time grooming our older Burro, Fiesta...

While Wanderer Cowboy dozed in the sun...
Rachael and her adopted horse Brisa and Donna and her adopted horse Frost...
Robin moved on to grooming Wanderer Baja...

Jedermann enjoyed a roll in the round pen. Monday morning, Jedermann is heading down to San Diego for the upcoming show season. Since I had my back surgery and can't ride this year, Jedermann will be competed by my sister Sarah VandenBerg of Briarwood Riding School. I will miss Jeder so much, he really helped me get through this difficult past year and a half. But, I am planning to head down to San Diego each month and I will be Jedermann's personal groom at his upcoming shows. Sarah and Jeder will do awesome together and I will be posting their progress throughout the season...
Diego had some help filling the pasture water tubs...

Adopted Horse UPDATE: SHORTY

A great update on adopted horse, Shorty!

Shorty and his owner, Nancy, live in Texas and are doing great together. Nancy adopted Shorty four years ago after Shorty was rescued off of the Fallon feedlot. They have begun learning some tricks and it looks like Shorty, now named Ranger, enjoys doing them!

Looking good!

Looks like Ranger agrees!

Finally Some Time to Post!

I am sorry I haven't had the time to blog and post photos lately. Sally and I are trying so hard to get our Ranch Houses finalized. We are now waiting the for the electric company to come out turn the power on. Sounds easy, but trust us, it isn't. All we need is the power and we can move in! We have been spending all of our days at our homes and we don't get home until after dark and we are emotionally and physically drained at the end of each day.

Our lives will be so much simpler once we live at Shiloh. Once I move, all I will have to do is head into my house to post the daily adventures. So, just bear with us for another week more!

Here are some photos I snapped today, Enjoy! :o)
