JILL AND TONY CURTIS STORY

An award-winning equestrian, Jill Vandenberg Curtis grew up loving horses. Upon discovering that over 100,000 horses a year - many of them in the best health - are being slaughtered for human consumption overseas, she broke down in tears. When she and her husband, legendary actor Tony Curtis, left Hollywood behind for quieter life in the Nevada desert, Jill sought a fulfilling passion that would make a difference. That cause is to halt the senseless slaughter of thousands of American horses for human consumption overseas. With a clear mission, the Shiloh Horse Rescue and Sanctuary was born (Shiloh means a place of peace in Hebrew).
