Jan 26 Baxter is not gaining as much weight as we would hope to see by now (7 1/2 weeks post-rescue). He’s eating fairly well — pretty much all the hay he can eat until he wastes it — but he wastes a lot of his grain dumping it on the ground and refusing to eat it. I...

Bucky was moved down to Auburn to be Summer’s new companion. Sadly, Summer’s buddy Mac was put down yesterday after several colic episodes. Summer’s wonderful foster home was worried about Summer being alone and was very willing to bring in another foster horse to...

I rode Annie today and she continues to do really well. She is fairly solid W/T/C and we are starting to learn leg yeilding, first at the walk and then at the trot and she is picking it up so well. This has got to be one of the most intelligent horses I have ever met!...

Dexter got his booster vaccinations today and the final verdict on his age — he is definitely a coming 5 year old, not a coming 3 year old. I don’t think the vet looked very closely last time because we had already been told he was 3. But he has canines which put him...

Bo was a thin bay gelding with a sweet but sad face, bought by SAFE at the Enumclaw Auction in April 2007. SAFE paid $150 for Bo, bidding only against the kill buyer to win his bid. Bo was in his mid-twenties, underweight, with a poor coat and overgrown, cracked...

Fala (Dronefal) was a beautiful gray Thoroughbred mare with a severe right hind injury and wracked body. Nonetheless, she was mostly bright and curious, in that Thoroughbred way. She arrived in SAFE’s hands through a series of mishaps. A friend of SAFE’s with track...
