A Cold and Clear Monday...

Wow, it sure got cold the past two days! Yesterday afternoon it even snowed on the mountains surrounding Shiloh and in the pass. Monday was clear and beautiful but it felt icey cold...


Adopted Brisa had some fun in the turn out...

Riding Lessons and Basic Horsemanship Classes at Shiloh

Now that I have moved out to ranch, I have much more free time which has been wonderful. So, I am now teaching some of the Basic Horsemanship Classes as well as offering more riding lessons. I am now able to begin implementing some ideas that I have had for years for the rescue- we are going to new and improved in 2012!

The Basic Horsemanship Class is a wonderful tool for new Shiloh volunteers or for anyone who wants to work around horses but doesn't know exactly what to do. Learn how to safely halter and lead a horse, how to groom correctly and how to work safely around horses. A great refresher for rusty horse lovers! Classes are $15.00 per person and last approx 45 minutes. Classes can be scheduled on weekdays as well as weekends- morning or afternoon classes available. Click here for more information.

Want to actually get up and into the saddle? Why not take a lesson on a Shiloh Horse? I am offering riding lesson for all ages and levels. Just need a few lessons to gain confidence or to just get back into the swing of things? Maybe you are looking to eventually get a horse of your own and want to gain some knowledge before making the commitment? If you are interested, please email me (Jill) at shilohhorse@aol.com or call or text me at 702-480-8906 to set up a lesson. Lessons cost $35.00 and are one hour in length (includes learning to properly tack up your horse). Lessons are offered weekdays and weekends, mornings or afternoons available. Click here for more information.


I am also working on a new upcoming guided trail riding program using Shiloh Horses. We will be offering one hour trail rides out from the ranch- coming this spring and summer! More info to come!

See you at Shiloh!

Photos from the day...

A windy and cloudy day today. It is supposed to rain all weekend...

Here are just some photos I took this morning before the wind began, enjoy!

Back Online...

I finally have internet service in my new home so I should be back blogging and posting on a regular basis again...

Some good news as Laguna was happily adopted to a new home in CA and Mustang Iceman has a pending adoption...


I will be posting under saddle videos of Breeze and Nike in the next few days.

Don't forget Shiloh's big upcoming Rummage Sale, we are possibly planning it for Saturday, May 19th around the Summerlyn area. More info to come as we get closer- but meanwhile here is a link to the Rummage Sale page for more information...

A windy Tuesday morning...

Looks like we are in for another windy day at the ranch...

We were up early to feed and do some chores before Sally and I had to head into town for a few hours. All the animals are quiet this morning, there aren't any emergencies and everyone is enjoying their breakfast.

Bonnie, our new Shiloh rider, was out early too working with Iceman and Breeze. Both horses are doing well and getting lots of trail experience. I am working on taking under saddle videos of both horses. Breeze has gotten over her problem with contact and now goes happily in a Hackamore...

Enjoy some photos from this morning...
