A couple videos of Rusty from his adopter to celebrate “Blankets Off Day”:
Working with Jill
After working with Jill at SAFE, Dylan says she’s super smart and if she were taller he would adopt her himself! They are still working on picking up her back feet, but they are making good progress. It’s really remarkable how much this little filly has changed in the…

Working with Tilt
Here at SAFE, Dylan has mostly been working on leading and helping Tilt be less touchy about the end of the lead rope and the flag. He says she’s doing really well and she really seems to look to him for support. Today, for the first time ever, they left the paddock…

Alumni Update: Sierra

Bath Day for Cramer
Cramer was a very good boy for his first bath at SAFE. He has come a long way from the timid giant that arrived just a short time ago. He is coming along nicely in the halter work, and we have been able to complete his first dental, vaccines and worming treatments.…
Barb Needs a Knowledgeable Partner
Barb has a very strong sense of justice, so if you fail to release her immediately when she does the right thing, or add pressure that’s not meaningful, she’ll resent your poor timing. When you time up correctly and have good consistency of your feel and movements,…
