Wishes was a 15 year old Thoroughbred mare who was surrendered to SAFE in late December 2008 by her owners, in conjunction with an Animal Control neglect case in Snohomish County. She arrived in extremely poor condition, with a BCS of about a 1.5, covered with rain...

Sunny was a 28 year old Arab gelding who was surrendered to SAFE in the spring of 2008 in pretty sad shape — skinny, dirty and covered in rain rot. He made a good recovery, and enjoyed a lovely summer. But as the weather grew colder, Sunny’s enlarged and arthritic...

Lily, one of the foals from the Carnation seizure, was rescued along with her dam, Willow in late February 2008, and seemed to be thriving. But in mid May 2008, we noticed that Lily wasn’t acting her normal fiesty self, and discovered she was running a temperature of...

Pie and Isabella were surrendered to SAFE by their owner, terribly thin and neglected. Pie was approximately 30 years old, a sweet and friendly gentleman who thrived with good care and good food. He was much loved by his foster caretakers for his outgoing personality...

Tia is doing well, she seems stocked up on her right hind but she doesn’t favor it or move lame on it. I put her in the arena for a bit last night with Slam and Vanna and she rolled and ran and bucked with the two of them. She is very vocal and has quite a...

Tia had a recheck today on her eyes and they look much better. The ulcer in her right eye is now healed and there is no more discharge out of either eye. The eye specialist does not feel that she is in any discomfort in the blind eye and no further action is needed,...

Caiti and I worked on her rain rot and gave her a thorough grooming complete with a pretty braided tail over the weekend. She tied in the stall very well and was practically falling asleep on us as we groomed her and showed us her funny face as we scratched all her...

Tia’s fecal came back and she was LOADED with worms. 503 Strongyle ova per gram! Even the vet was surprised. I wormed her today with just a half-dose of Ivermectin and am hoping that she doesn’t get sick from the die-off. In a week she will get dosed again with a full...

Here are some photos. I think some of these pictures really capture her spirit. She is obviously thrilled to be in the company of other horses and seems very happy to be where she is now. Hopefully she is on her way to feeling better...
