by Bonnie Hammond | Apr 17, 2011 | Annie, Zanadu
Annie and Zanadu were stars this weekend! Annie had a potential adopter come and ride her on Saturday as did Zanadu, who was ridden in a lesson with our trainer. Both rode the horses really well and would make really great matches for them. They both plan to come back…

by Bonnie Hammond | Apr 17, 2011 | Dexter
Dexter has been doing really well at home. Last weekend, he gave Sara’s daughter Angelique her first ride ever on a horse, a lunge lesson with Andrea and was very patient as Angelique was learning to post. Yesterday, Sara rode him in a lesson and worked on starting to…
Sinatra Update — April 17
by Bonnie Hammond | Apr 17, 2011 | Sinatra
Not so good news on Sinatra — Dr. Hannah was able to replicate his lameness after several days of lunging and using nerve blocks localized the issue to both front legs, in the area of the fetlock down. When she blocked out the right, which was the one he was visually…
Romeo Update
by Bonnie Hammond | Apr 17, 2011 | Romeo
Romeo is healing well after his castration and will probably be ready to leave NWESC in a week or two. At this point we are just waiting for him to realize he isn’t a stallion anymore and settle — he is still very fixated on other horses right now.
Nadia Update — 4/17
by Bonnie Hammond | Apr 17, 2011 | Nadia
Next weekend, Nadia will be returning from training. She has been doing really well, and finally learning how to be a proper arena horse and not just having two speeds (“dead run” and “whoa”). She is learning how to give to the bit and has not had any issues with…

Char Update — 4/10/11
by Bonnie Hammond | Apr 10, 2011 | Charmeon
Today my neighbor, Natalie, who happens to be a Grand Prix show jumper/trainer, came over and helped me work with Char for her first ride since she arrived at SAFE a week ago. We took her out and put her in the cross-ties, and she was very, very good for being tied,…
Holly — pending adoption!
by Bonnie Hammond | Apr 9, 2011 | Holly
Holly has had quite a bit of interest in her (no surprise there). Merle’s been understandably picky about where her Holly will go, but we think we may have found a great home for her. Pending adoption!

by Bonnie Hammond | Apr 8, 2011 | Dexter
One of our volunteers, Debi, has a small boarding facility in Clearview and she has a Parelli instructor named Michael Sparling come to her barn and do clinics. She spoke to Michael about Dexter and he agreed to work with Dexter at no charge to SAFE. Here’s a…
Corona Update April 3 2011
by Bonnie Hammond | Apr 3, 2011 | Corona
Corona is doing well, but still not completely healed. He remains very tolerant for his treatments, however. He is also doing something we have seen with a few starved horses, where they come in with a thick winter coat with a top layer of really long, wiry guard…
