Welcome to The Shiloh Mustang Makeover Project!
A few weeks ago, Shiloh was informed by Eric Clayton, our Mustang Expert, that one of the young stallions that we have followed in the wild not far from Shiloh, had been rounded up by the BLM. So, Eric contacted the BLM and arranged for the horse to come to Shiloh. We have named him Iceman, as he is a pure White/Cremello with blue eyes. Iceman, who is still a stallion, will be gelded, courtesy of the BLM, as soon as he settles in to his new home. Due to BLM Mustang adoption guidelines, his arrival kicks off a year long project at Shiloh. Eric is the designated project leader, and many of our volunteers will be helping him work with Iceman. After one year, Iceman will be put up for adoption to a new home and future! This will be an amazing learning experience for all of us, so please come on out to Shiloh and meet Iceman in person!
Please see photos of Iceman in the Wild here!

ReplyDeleteHowdy, Iceman! Again, welcome to Shiloh. I know you know me from out in the wild, so I hope my familiar face will make your settling in alot easier. Looking forward to the days ahead with you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty! What a wonderful project! I wish I lived closer to help out with the Iceman.You all be careful and I will be waiting & watching for the updates.Take care, Mary
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you at shiloh
ReplyDeleteWelcome Iceman! You're in the best hands you could possible be in, next to the hands of the wild! Look forward to meeting you!
ReplyDeleteShirly are you sure he is not a perlino? That reddish color in his mane and tell tells me he may be. Please do a google of Perlino horse images.http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&rlz=1T4ADBF_enUS304US304&q=perlino%20horse&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi
ReplyDeleteHe's beautiful! What a great project! Good luck with Iceman!
ReplyDeleteIceman is gorgeous! I understand he has to be gelded but too bad he couldn't be trained and used as and advocate for the mustangs. I could just imagine his glossy coat and stallion presence. I saved a perlino mare two weeks ago from Mike's auction. She is 20, I think a couple of years younger and was so skinny. Her bidding started at $35. Ended up paying $150. She has put on tons of weight now dealing with bruised soles.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful horse, he is surely special.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck to the Iceman. And what a name!
Love it!
