Silas
Silas

Silas came to us in a most unusual manner. We received a call late at night from a woman who had a horse in her yard. We went out to catch him and luckily had a spot nearby where he could stay overnight. The next day we brought him back to Mylestone. It took awhile but we found his owner - a mile and a half away.

He had been kept alone, and been escaping through a loose fence. Local neighbors had been buying food to feed him. He was in good shape overall, just lame from being loose for a while. It was discovered that his owner was dealing with a tragic situation and where he'd been kept wouldn’t take him back. So this 17 hand Thoroughbred gelding came to our farm, fortunate in timing, for one week earlier we did not have room.

Silas has settled in nicely and did his best to be playmates with the geldings in the front paddock. They still have a bit to work out as to who's who, but this is the norm anytime a new horse joins an established herd. We know he'd be very happy if you would sponsor Silas. It would be the perfect welcome. You could also donate towards the costs of Silas' care.

A bit more about him - Silas is 13 years old. He is an ex-race horse, though we don't know how many years he raced. He is a handsome chestnut gelding, has very nice conformation, and a wonderful personality. He is lightly ridable.Contact us if you might be interested in providing the perfect forever home for Silas.
