Audrey Reynolds and Killy Fornelli were interviewed by Dave Scott for KUSI TV on Good Morning San Diego, 8/16/08. Currently there is no link to this story. The story was filmed at Mt. Miguel Equestrian Center, and featured Daddy, El Nuki, and Bayo, live. They are now TV stars!!
| GAMBLER was rescued at auction by an individual who could not afford to give him the care he needed. SHI adopted him, but sadly he had foundered repeatedly, and was in tremendous pain. Barely able to walk, we made the difficult decision to euthanise him. RIP sweet Gambler. | Gambler |
GWEN was rescued off a local ranch where she was discovered in October 07, during the fires in San Diego. She was emaciated, in with 2 other horses, eating all her food. SHI President gave the 3 horses daily care and food for 3 months. It was discovered in December that Gwen was in fact pregnant. Not until January 08 that we were able to “buy” the horses in order to save them and get them off that ranch. | Gwen Gwen was adopted by Christine Griffin in Ramona. Gwen gave birth to a healthy black colt named Quinn. GentledMustangs.com |
MISTY was rescued along with Gwen. This paint mare was taken in by SHI, and ridden regularly to prepare her for adoption. We are happy to announce that Misty has been reunited with a family who had owned her since she was a foal. 5 years ago they entrusted her to a family member, when they had to leave the state for a while, and when they returned the mare had been sold. They had been looking for Misty for 5 years. |

| BAYO is a 23 year old gelding that had been abandoned in a field full of cows in Ontario. He had to eat silage and was not doing well. He was very underweight and badly in need of hoof care. Animal Control took 10 days to locate the owner. Bayo was on this cow lot the whole time with no real food. Finally when the owner was contacted, it was evident that he was not able to give this horse the care he needed. SHI rescued Bayo in May 2008. Bayo has had extensive dental work, and his feet trimmed. He is thriving, eating everything in sight. He will be available for adoption as a pasture pet later this year. Donate towards Bayo’s ongoing care or sponsor him for $100 per month. |

| FEEDLOT RESCUES |
| SUGAR was rescued off a S. California feedlot, six months pregnant, and 5 years of age. She was adopted directly off the feedlot and recently gave birth to a healthy filly. | Sugar |
The rescue of DAZ off the S. California feedlot was co-coordinated by SHI. Daz was adopted by Tania Bennet at Mustang Spirit Rescue . In May, Daz finally gave birth to a beautiful colt. http://www.mustang-spirit.org | Daz |
| LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE also came off the S. California feedlot. She was immediately adopted by Gayle Kaye. Sunshine was very weak and unprepared for foaling. Gayle and her daughter prepared her with good nutrition and exercise. Sunshine gave birth to a healthy foal in May. | ![]() Little Miss Sunshine Little Miss Sunshine's Foal |
HARMONY was rescued off the S. California feedlot. Heavily pregnant, and close to foaling, Harmony was transported to her new adoptive home in Auburn. She had a 2 night stopover in Modesto, which made us all very nervous. Harmony arrived at her new home on a Tuesday and she gave birth to this beautiful foal named Spirit, 3 days later. | Harmony |
| ROSY was rescued off the S. California feedlot. She was adopted by the Shiloh Foundation in Auburn., Ca. Rosy gave birth to a beautiful colt named Nugget. | Rosy |
CHANCE a 3 year old mustang gelding was rescued directly off the feedlot and went to a home near Mammoth Lakes. The new owner could not keep him so he was taken in by High Sierra Wild Horse Sanctuary. He just completed training at Monty Robert's, and is ready for saddle training. He will make a great project horse. Quiet and gentle to work with. He is now in a foster home in Temecula. | Chance Please donate for his ongoing care until an adoptive home is found. |
| DADDYSPRIDEANDJOY is a thoroughbred, raced once in 2003. His trainer decided this horse did not have a future in racing. We have no idea where this horse spent the last few years. He was rescued off the feedlot in May 2008, and in need of some good feeding. After QT in a foster home, he will be put into a full training program, to prepare him for adoption. It is evident that Daddy has been mistreated and is untrusting. You may donate towards Daddy’s ongoing care or become a sponsor for $100 per month. |

| EL NUKI is a thoroughbred that was rescued off the feedlot the same day as Daddy in May 2008. El Nuki was retired from racing 2005 following an injury. He underwent stem cell therapy and 2 years lay up. He never returned to racing. El Nuki is great grandson of "Lord at War". Nuki was started 16 times, with 3 wins, earning $131,000. At 9 years of age, Nuki will be put into full time training, and rehomed in the coming months. Donate towards El Nuki’s ongoing care or sponsor him for $100 per month. |

| MIKE'S AUCTION RESCUES |
| SHI board member Deborah, attended Mike’s auction in May ’08, not intending to rescue any horses. A short time later I received a call requesting funds to save two horses. A 9 year old thoroughbred mare that was later identified as “YOURWAY HIGHWAY” and she had recently given birth to a foal. There was no foal at foot. $350 saved this mare from ending up in a bad place. The next day Deb learned from the previous owner that she had almost died giving birth to the foal that did not survive. She had been dumped at auction as she was of no use to him anymore. Thank you to Priscilla Clark of Tranquility Farms for taking this sweet mare in. Your Way is the great granddaughter to Secretariat. To make a donation towards her ongoing care please visit: http://www.tranquilityfarmtbs.org | Yourway Highway | |
| MONA LISA’S CANVAS, a beautiful paint mare, was also rescued at auction that night. She had a crooked leg caused by severe degenerative joint disease. Canvas had just had a foal weaned from her side, and still had milk. I can’t believe she was bred while in obvious pain due to her leg. She was taken to Norco Equine Hospital where we consulted with two veterinarians. It was a unanimous decision, that euthanasia would be the kindest for Canvas to end her pain. She was a lovely sweet mare, and she knew love as Deb and I stayed with her to the end. RIP sweet Canvas. |
