Brandii Bask
We’ve gotten another wonderful update from Brandii’s foster home, along with some great photos! Thank you to Sharon for taking such good care of our girl and exposing her to new experiences! Brandii was ponied out at Sawyer Woods on Saturday and did wonderfully. She…
JR under saddle
JR had his first ride today. Unfortunately he seems to suffer from sweet itch and his belly is covered in bites and scabs. He was a good boy, but wasn’t happy about being girthed up and was pretty distracted by the bites. We’ve been slathering his belly in SWAT and…
Mr Pibb — placed!

Getting to know Jessel
Well color me impressed! Jessel had her first health check up with Dr. McCracken and she was a superstar. She was a little shocked by the first vaccine but it only got better with the others. We will be giving her more boosters in a few weeks but at least she won’t…
Getting to know Tess
We are happy to have three sweet new mares in our care: Tess, Bean, and Jessel. They were rescued from a very tough situation of neglect and starvation, and it’s going to take some time and TLC before they are ready for adoption. At the moment, we are letting them…
Training Update: Mesquite
Sometimes you meet a horse and say, wow, now that’s my kind of horse! Mesquite has had my heart from the beginning. Once I rode him, I was done for! He is an amazing horse! He is kind, gentle, intelligent and fun. Plus, he has three smooth gates. Oh, and did I…
Banjo and Finn: Foster Buddies!!
Banjo spent about a month at Safe Harbor Stables before heading out to a foster home with Finn. These two Palomino geldings are like brothers! After a little “play fighting” to establish that Finn was the boss, they have now settled in and are good buddies. This is…
Foster and Health Update: Rocky
I recently spent the morning with Rocky during a routine vet visit from Dr McCracken. His foster parents, Kellie and Peter, have done wonders in gaining his trust with their kind and patient handing. Rocky has come a long way from the timid boy he was when we first…

Karma’s rehab has been going well. She is progressing with her trot work and the transition to having a rider was uneventful. She has been easy to handle in every way. Karma is available for an adopter who is willing to carry on with her rehab plan. We are very…
