Hee!  Richard was doing some replacing of clapboards that the beaver (AKA 
Fiddle) had chewed on the barn.  He was using a circular saw to cut them...an 
old one that makes a real racket!  Fiddle was dancing around her stall as 
usual, but Shiloh didn't even twitch an ear!  No joke, I really think you 
COULD set off a bomb under this horse and she wouldn't move! We've already 
had kids climbing over, under around that through her...even one little girl 
who is very skittish around horses stayed by her side and patted and patted 
her.  The horse never moved.  I'm going to have to get used to this!  BTW, 
Fiddle seems to have mellowed some in the short time that this mare has been 
here...guess she's not lonely anymore, and Shiloh must be a calming 
influence!  Secondary gains!  Oh, yes!!!!
