I worked with Baxter again last night. I think Jaime’s got him totally fixed now because both times I’ve worked with him he was Mr. Easytocatch. That said, he’s not exactly a snuggly horse… he just has an air about him that he’s waiting for you to be mean...

Update from Sara: I rode Baxter in a lesson today. Like Dexter, he doesn’t know much (and is somewhat nervous about whips & crops). But… he’s willing to try and quite fun to ride (big, comfy trot!). He’s not very fit right now (which is understandable...

Update from Holly’s adopter: I just got back from spending a couple of days at the ranch where Holly is “going to school”. She is doing really good with her lessons and I had an awesome ride on her yesterday. I tried to get some pictures but wasn’t too...

It’s been too long since we posted an Aiden update. We moved Aiden to a foster home in Carnation this summer and he has been romping in 10 acres of pasture with his buddy, a 33 year old gelding named Hawk. I hadn’t seen Aiden in some time but last night I stopped by...

Many thanks to Sheridan Jones who has arranged for Deeds to spend a month in training with Kim Gately! Sheridan felt that Deeds could use a little refresher on his manners. We’re also hoping to get Kim’s opinion on what type of job Deeds might be suitable for, given...

Baxter left a month ago for a 3 month foster-to-adopt trial down in Spanaway with a local 4H leader. He’s looking fabulous and while still green, going well under saddle. He had also gotten a lot less aggressive towards neighboring horses so we were hopeful that it...

Good news on Zanadu — she is now going well at a walk and trot in the big arena. She is much more confident now and very cute under saddle with a nice trot! She is also loving the work and the attention and comes running to the gate when its time to work! She should...

Bad news today from Aiden’s foster home. He somehow managed to cut himself in the pasture just above his coronet band requiring 6 stitches. It’s in a bad area and will require two weeks of stall rest and bandaging changing, so tomorrow we are moving him to NWESC’s new...

Update from Sundance Equestian: The big news this week out at the barn is Sinatra finally has a girth to call his own!! Thanks to a wonderful donation from his friends at SAFE, we were able to buy him a brand new girth. It is a size 38 — and yes, he probably could use...
