Char Update — 4/10/11
Today my neighbor, Natalie, who happens to be a Grand Prix show jumper/trainer, came over and helped me work with Char for her first ride since she arrived at SAFE a week ago. We took her out and put her in the cross-ties, and she was very, very good for being tied,…
Holly — pending adoption!
Holly has had quite a bit of interest in her (no surprise there). Merle’s been understandably picky about where her Holly will go, but we think we may have found a great home for her. Pending adoption!

Our brave Sophie!
Apparently nobody told Sophie that horses are usually afraid of tarps! Our brave little girl walked over the tarp before Terry could even finish spreading it out on the ground! And it only took about 30 seconds to convince her it was haute couture. She’s amazing.
Lola Off Work due to Lameness
2015 has not been a great year for Lola so far. She’s been lame on and off in front since the beginning of January, and although we’ve tried several shoeing changes and she’s been examined by our veterinarians multiple times, we still haven’t been able to pinpoint the…
