"Shiloh"

Suzy and Shiloh

We first met Shiloh when he was called "Freckles" at the Virginia Range Wildlife Protection Assn. holding pens. We used him at a one day Mentors' Workshop in Virginia City. Later Freckles was moved to Lifesavers' fall 2000 Wild Horse Boot Camp where he was spotted and adopted by Suzy Noel who renamed him Shiloh.

Shiloh is an active but very good natured horse. He and Suzy hit it off pretty well. Aside from the limited handling he got at the short programs Suzy gentled Shiloh on her own.

Suzy writes:

Shiloh is my first horse and I am his first (and only) human. He picked me out during Life Savers Boot Camp. It took me a few weeks for him to allow me to touch him, but I did and then things moved right along.

He gave me his feet pretty easily and took his saddle fine. We have had a few minor incidents when we began riding, but that was due to my lack of experience. I worked very slowly with him, a tiny baby step at a time. He still is nervous around other poeple, but he is getting better. In December I moved to Lake View Terrace and in February, Shiloh moved down to my backyard. There are 10 horses here, and he thinks he is the main attraction.

Shiloh is extremely smart and very playful. He still is more or less a baby, but he learns something new everyday. I am hoping that we can do trick riding together. I couldn't have asked for a better horse, and I couldn't have asked for better help than Willis Lamm.

He thinks he is a rock star, he is very mischevious, and I know he knows he is cute.
