Southern Reins Center for Equine Therapy
Shiloh joined the Southern Reins team on a cool, crisp day in November of 2019 - and from the moment he stepped off the trailer, we knew he was going to be a great addition to our program. Shiloh came to us as a loan from his owner, and he had previously been a trail mount for public tours of Shelby Farms Park. This adorable 14-hand chestnut Quarter Horse was the horse we had been looking for for quite a while, as we had been searching for a smaller horse with a sturdy build. Shiloh has the most expressive eyes that share his kind heart and gentle nature, and though he may be a bit older, those eyes shine bright because he loves what he does.
Over the past year and a half, Shiloh has been one of our most trusted and consistent therapy horses. He has a kind disposition that puts his participants at ease, and our staff and volunteers love him for his easy going nature and versatility. Shiloh is used in our adaptive horseback riding program, Occupational Therapy incorporating Hippotherapy program, Making Strides Recreation Therapy Program, Unbridled Horsemanship, and our PATH Intl. Equine Services for Heroes program.
As an older gentleman, he requires special care to make sure he puts his best hoof forward every day so that he can serve people with disabilities and hardship to celebrate their ABILITY. Shiloh is on a strict no-hay diet due to age-related dental issues and requires daily Equioxx to help with inflammation from arthritis. To keep Shiloh feeling his best, he would benefit greatly from Platinum Performance Metabolic Support. If chosen as a Platinum Performance Equine Welfare Award recipient, Shiloh will benefit greatly in maintaining healthy metabolic function so he can help his participants SHINE as bright as his copper penny coat.
Thank you Platinum Performance for considering the incomparable Shiloh!
