11/30/08 Great news as sweet little Twinklt is adopted by Nancy and Carol of North Carolina! She is adopted along with another Shiloh Horse, Blue Moon, and they will be moving on to their new homes by Spring. Until then, they will be boarded at Shiloh. A great home with beautiful green grass for these two lucky young horses.
Twinkle is super friendly and very cute! She is looking for a loving home!
We have placed little Twinkle up for adoption- although she will have to remain at Shiloh until she is weaned from her mother at approx 6 months. It's never too early to start bonding!
Born 4/19/07 at Shiloh Horse Rescue!
A new little foal was born early this morning out at the ranch!
The black mare from the Fallon Feedlot, Beauty, rescued a few weeks ago, gave birth to a little black filly. She has a huge white star on her head, and we have named her "Twinkle"! Little Twinkle is small and thin, as most of the feedlot foals are due to their mother's lack of prior care, but she is up and eating and appears to be healthy.
Sadly, late last night, another Feedlot mare, Hazel, gave birth to TWINS, both were stillborn. It appears that they may have only been 9-10 months old (premature).
The feedlot mares were given absolutely NO PRENATAL CARE before their rescue, so their pregnancies are extremely high risk. Sadly, the little twins did not make it, in spite of attempts to revive them. The little foals were buried together at Shiloh.
The happiness of Twinkle's birth is mixed with the sadness of the passing of the Twins. The circle of life...
