A porpoise AND a goal!
After eating many hays, I have had time to think about the rescue that I will be making. I’m not so good with words, so maybe rescue is the wrong word. I can really only actually give hays and tasty, tasty grain to the two horses who live with me — and Jay and Chance…
Mr Pibb Before & After
The Honeycutt Nation
There is a new SAFE horse named Dixie, do you know this horse? She is very pretty but she is also very thin and sad. If I were near Dixie, I would not steal her hays because she needs to eat lots of hays and tasty grain and not be so sad. A horse should be a thing…
Dixie Intake Photos
Dixie arrived at SAFE on Sunday Oct 9, 2011. She has a Body Condition Score of about 2–2.5. She has lots of old kick wounds and is covered in bot fly eggs. Dixie shows signs of a recent abscess or puncture wound to her left front foot but seems sound today. She’s…
Bud & Brandy Update
Bud & Brandy (aka: B&B) have been in their current foster home in Federal Way since late July. They spend their days just hanging out and occasionally chatting over their fence line with the young (27 years old) gelding next to them. While they don’t do much…
Deeds — 10/8/11
We haven’t updated Deeds’ page in a while. He spent his summer at a foster home up in Stanwood, where he was a companion to an older mare. We have now moved him down to a foster home in Redmond, where he has a nice dry paddock and shelter and a buddy, a warmblood…
Savannah Update
Savannah arrived at SAFE on Sunday, September 25, and if we haven’t created a page for her yet, it’s because she is already pending adoption with someone who knows her from her previous rescue experience. We are enjoying her at SAFE as she is a lovely mare who is very…
Not a stallion any more!
Moonshine arrived at SAFE as a stallion so our first order of business was changing him into a gelding! Moonshine was castrated on October 1st as part of our castration clinic hosted by NWESC.

Stella: Training Update
Just for a little fun, I decided to work Stella in a Dressage saddle this week. She did very well and was comfortable to sit the trot and canter in the English tack. She is learning to keep a nice rhythm and cadence in her gaits. When she gets troubled, it takes…
Photo shoot with Dottie Belle!
Volunteer Jessica Farren recently visited Miss Dottie Belle at the Pacific Moon Equestrian Center. She took absolutely gorgeous photos! The fall colors are a stunning backdrop for this beautiful mare. Dottie has thrived under Karen Moore’s care. We are so blessed…
Marta Update
Ms. Marta continues being her fancy “prancy” self. Every morning, she puts on a show, arching her neck, snorting and trotting with her fabulous self-carriage. She likes to remind us that her sire was the famous Probat and that many of her family members are National…
Shay Update
Shay has struggled with periodic bouts of lameness over the years. Recently, it went on long enough that we called out Dr. Fleck, from the Rainland Farm Equine Clinic, for an evaluation. He reviewed earlier x‑rays of Shay’s rotated coffin bone and thought she just…
Health Update: Banjo
While at Cedarbrook, Banjo is getting a special treatment on the Theraplate. This type of therapy helps increase circulation and promotes healing of hooves. Lisa, Cedarbrook’s office manager, reported: “Banjo had his first Theraplate session today and he did well.…
Lola is going Fabulously!
It is so exciting to be riding Lola again! This spunky little mare is doing great and she’s an absolute riot to ride. She is ready for her forever home and to be with someone who is looking for fun. We have been working on light aid transitions and some walk-canter…
