Today was lesson day at the farm today. We had a potential adopter come out to watch Zanadu and Sara in her lesson today. I missed the lesson but Sara reported Zanadu did great today, no bucking or kicking out in the canter at all today and the...

Today, I spoke at the event hosted by Equestrian’s Institute called “Buy, Sell, or Lease your Horse”. I spoke briefly about SAFE’s background and history, and then talked about SAFE’s goal of finding lifetime homes for our horses, and how we go about...

Charmeon’s owner has hired a trainer to start her under saddle. She sent us this photo. Looks like she is doing well! Also, I double checked her height as she looks much taller than 15h in the photo. She is 16 hands and 1800 lbs!

Tia seems to have settled down and is no longer agitated as long as she is in her stall, but her left eye is still bothering her quite a bit and very swollen and oozing. She may have banged it during her bout of anxiety, or its possible she is having a uveitis...

Corona is doing very well! Dr. Hannah has spoken to the vet who saw him earlier this week and she feels like the injury will be relatively minor once we get the infection under control. We’ve been contacted by three people who knew Corona back when he lived...

Just a quick update on Tia. This morning she was again very agitated when the barn crew arrived and once again was given Ace to settle her down, which only brought her anxiety level down from about an 8 or a 9 to maybe a 5. Tia’s bloodwork came back and was somewhat...
