A Busy Saturday Clinic...

Saturday was a great day- lots of people out at the rescue, many of whom participated in our Joe Weitekamp clinic. By the way, if you live in Southern NV and are looking for a really great trainer to start a young horse, help with a Mustang or help with a problem horse, please check out Joe Weitekamp. Here is Joe's Website.

But, before we get to the day's photos, we want to congratulate Vic and his adoption of Spice! Vic, who recently lost his beloved Xanthos and who had been considering adopting Spice for a while, went ahead and made it official. All of us at Shiloh are very happy for Vic and Spice...


Speaking of Adopted Shiloh Horses, Liberado (now renamed Mirage) and Silverado, participated in the clinic. Both horses look fantastic and both did a great job yesterday.

Mirage has really filled out and settled down. Great job Cheryl!

Joe chose New Arrival, Banjo, as a demonstration horse. Banjo did great...

Everyone gathered around the round pen to watch.We had a really nice turn out and it was a wonderful clinic. Everyone learned alot...

Sharil and Eric clowned around a bit- but Eric did an excellent job organizing the day. Thank you Eric!
Later, Joe rode his new Mustang, Wiseguy. Joe has been working with Wiseguy for the upcoming Mustang Makeover. Wiseguy has been under saddle for only 30 days...

Tony came out to watch some of the clinic. Here he meets Wiseguy.
Joe demonstrates Wiseguy's gate opening expertise.

Of course, while the clinic was going on, so was our usual rescue stuff. Jimmy Dean enjoyed a fruit salad, courtesy of Helga.

Ketchum's former Foster Family came by to visit him. They cleaned him up under City Center..
And then posed for this nice shot.

Tony took photos with Leo...

And with Felipe.

While Helga groomed Hutch...

And then she tried to coax shy Hammie Davis to have some fruit...

Lindsey Loham snored through the whole day...


All in all, a very, very nice day!
