Shiloh's Great Hay Feeder Build
Last month, Todd started a new big project at the ranch- he began to design and build homemade pasture hay feeders.
We have fed the large hay bales for years to help save money. We have always lost lots of hay to windy days, which made the guys' work more difficult as well as wasting money.
So, Todd came up with an awesome idea to build large bale hay feeders for each pasture using old, broken and discarded steel corral panels from our bone yard. It was a lot of work but they turned out incredible and the pasture horses love the new set up! Now we can add a big bale to each of the six feeders every five days. This saves so much time and work for everyone as well as extending our hay loads another month. Using the feeders we have figured out we will save almost 30 days of hay per load! That is a lot of money!
See the wind blown hay against the fence? This blew out of the pastures all the way up to the fenceline by the houses...
Todd welded old broken panels together...
Everyone pitched in on this big project...
Todd used old plastic from barrels, rubber mats and wood to line the bottom half of each feeder. This acts like a big feed bin to catch the hay as the horses eat and keeps it out of the wind...
The guys helped with each feeder...
Todd built a framework of panels...
Then each one was installed in the pastures. The legs were pushed into the ground to keep them from moving around...
The pasture horses love the idea!
The feeders are the new favorite hangout spots!
Once the pecking order was established, everyone settled down to eat...
See how the bottom part catches the loose hay? Genius!
A finished feeder before being installed.
Bringing it to Okay Corral.
The horses are very curious...
A big hay bale is dropped in...
This feeder is placed between Okay Corral and Big Pasture, allowing horses from both pastures to feed.

Slider Under Saddle
Filmed on 4/18/13, Slider is looking for his new home. 100% sound and healthy, likes to act his age (5 Years) and play sometimes, so needs a confident rider, but is well mannered in the arena and out on trail. A really nice young gelding!

Photos from the past week
Remember to LIKE Shiloh Horse Rescue's Facebook page- we share many more photos and updates on our FB page so don't miss out!
Some good news as Lexington was recently adopted to a new home in Colorado and Waco, one of our senior geldings, is moving to be with a foster family this coming week. Happy trails, Lex and Waco!
Sad news as our wandering POA pony, Cowboy, passed away suddenly on Thursday afternoon. He was wandering the ranch as usual when he suffered either a heart attack or stroke. He passed very quickly for which we are grateful. Cowboy, who lived at shiloh for 8 years, is buried in our Memorial Garden. Rest in peace, little Cowboy.
Here are some photos from the past week.
Sanctuary Horse, Hawkeye, enjoyed the attention of a Basic Horsemanship Class.
Arturo rode Lucero for the first time! Lucy is now 4 years old and it looks like she will be staying pony sized. A super cute young girl who is looking for her new home and future.
Good job, Lucero and Arturo!
Senior horse, Frisco, spent some time under City Center being shedded out by a new volunteer. That's alot of hair!
Waco being evaluated by Arturo.
Thank you to Todd who fixed our sign by the gate- he replaced the old dry erase board with a chalk board. Looks great!
Sweet Sanctuary Horse, Avalon out in the Big Pasture.

A journey ends and the weekend
Beautiful warm weather at the ranch. All the winter blankets are now off and the horses are beginning to shed out their thick winter coats.
Sad news as Sanctuary Horse, Meadow, passed away this morning. She was in her thirties and had lived a good horse life in our pastures after being rescued from slaughter in 2007. Rest in peace, Meadow...
Adoptable horse, Slider, looking cute in the turn out...
Muncie, one of the horses found dumped in the desert two months ago, is gradually gaining weight. Once he is healthy he will be evaluated for adoption to his new home. A very sweet young gelding who is going make someone an excellent horse.
Jiggs, who was adopted many years ago, returned to Shiloh yesterday. His loving owner is moving out of the country and didn't want Jiggs to have to go through the stress. He is now approx 29 years old and looks wonderful. Welcome back, Jiggs!
Trucker tried on a saddle blanket...
Wandering Mustang, Cortez, silhouetted in the Barn aisle...
Gina and Fortune in their riding lesson. They did awesome!
Some of Guardian Angel senior horses in Assisted Living enjoying their GA feed on Sunday morning.
