This afternoon, under partly sunny skies, 34 people participated in the first “SAFE Day at the Safe” and watched King Felix and the Seattle Mariners take on and beat the Cleveland Indians 3–0. Watching Hernandez throw a one-hit shutout was as much a treat as...

So what’s so remarkable about this photo of Owen? It actually represents some pretty amazing progress that our newest gelding has made over the past several weeks. Owen is now allowing himself to be caught easily in his paddock when it’s time for a ground work...

Terry has started working with Stella at liberty in the arena, giving her the chance to stretch her legs and learn a thing or two about approaching people. Fortunately she loves scritches, and that makes this introduction period a lot easier!
