Update on Zanadu: her trainer reports she is coming along — a little slower than expected as she was a little nervous about the mounting part — but is now trotting under saddle following another horse. She had a couple big spooks the first time but settled quickly....

Sampson was weaned today! It was the most low-drama weaning ever, we put him in with Lola and Bubbles and he was so busy running around and playing with them he didn’t even notice Delilah leaving. I think he called once and it was over. Delilah was more than happy to...

Update from Holly’s adopter: I took Holly over to Ellensburg with me on Thursday. I went to High Country Training. They do a lot of Reining and working cow training. I had my friend Portia ride Holly and tell me what we needed to work on. I ended up leaving Holly with...

Zanadu went up to training a week ago. So far she has learned how to lunge, wear a saddle/bridle, and lunge with the saddle and very loose side reins. She was fine with the saddle on Day 1 and 2, Day 3 she had a little bucking fit but got over it pretty quickly. She...

Update from Sara Hall: I have a good news/bad news update with Dexter. The bad news is that we were not as prepared as we should have been for the show and Dexter was super amped up/anxious in the show environment. Ultimately I decided to scratch my...

Lola has been working quite hard at her in-hand halter and showmanship over the last few weeks and we were all disappointed when she could not get to the SAFE show last weekend due to a sudden illness in her foster family and a trailer/schedule mishap that left her...
