9/23/08 Deliverance has found a new home with Alex of Las Vegas!

FREE TO GOOD HOME!
Adoption Questionaire

Deliverance is available to an experienced home. With some time and patience she could make somone a nice horse or serve as a companion horse. Sound and healthy.

Arrived at Shiloh 3/26/07

These mares were rescued using funds donated by the Fans of Barbaro (FOBs). The FOBs raised over $13,000 in just days to save 25 heavily pregnant mares off of the Fallon Feedlot in Northern Nevada. Shiloh teamed up with other rescues and horse lovers across the country to take in these mares so that they could have their foals in safety. This rescue puts Shiloh's total at 13 pregnant mares from this feedlot rescue.


UPDATE: 5/10/07 A happy update as Fortune is back at Shiloh recovering. She is looking and feeling alot better, even doing some scampering in the turn out!

UPDATE: 5/8/07 Little Fortune will be returning home to Shiloh tomorrow morning (Weds)! She does have Meningitis (found after a spinal tap), but is responding to treatment. She will remain on antibiodics (oral) and will remain under observation. More will be posted when she gets home to Shiloh!

UPDATE: 5/5/07 It is looking like Fortune does have Menangitis, her spinal tap showed it. She is being treated and we are hoping she will recover- but her prognosis is guarded. We are hoping to be able to bring Fortune back home to Shiloh next week and treat her there.

UPDATE: 5/4/07 Fortune is still having tests done on her. Her head and neck have been x-rayed, the film is being sent to UC Davis to be read again. She seems to have possible head trauma and injury to a nerve in her face that controls balance, etc. She walks in circles and bumps into walls. However, there is no sign of an injury. Or it could be a possible Menangitis (spelling!) that is causing her nuerologic signs.

Her prognosis may be poor- if she survives she may be mentally handicapped. If so, she will live out her life at Shiloh Ranch surrounded by loving and caring people.

We will update her condition again!

Fortune, a week old foal born to feedlot mare, Deliverance, was rushed to the vet clinic today. She had begun acting very strangely this morning and we didn't wait, we loaded them up and drove to the clinic. Both Fortune and Deliverance will be staying at the clinic as the vets test her to see what is wrong. She is very ill and we are very worried about her.

Another example of a feedlot mare, who was given no prenatal care (before she came to Shiloh) during her pregnancy. So sad for both mare and foal...

We will keep Fortune's story updated...

Fortune was born at Shiloh on 4/25/07, her mother is Deliverance, one of the feedlot mares who were rescued from slaughter while heavily pregnant. Fortune looks like she is a Draft mix, she has very big bone and is a bigger baby. She is very cute and healthy!
