Bucky B Lucky update — April 17
We had an emergency call with Dr. Hannah last week when Corona managed to crib a board so much that it broke, and then somehow Lucky managed to gouge himself on the pointed end of the board. He’s fine, but wasn’t too happy about it being touched for a few days to be…
Annie & Zan — April 17
Annie and Zanadu were stars this weekend! Annie had a potential adopter come and ride her on Saturday as did Zanadu, who was ridden in a lesson with our trainer. Both rode the horses really well and would make really great matches for them. They both plan to come back…
Dexter — April 17, 2011
Dexter has been doing really well at home. Last weekend, he gave Sara’s daughter Angelique her first ride ever on a horse, a lunge lesson with Andrea and was very patient as Angelique was learning to post. Yesterday, Sara rode him in a lesson and worked on starting to…
Sinatra Update — April 17
Not so good news on Sinatra — Dr. Hannah was able to replicate his lameness after several days of lunging and using nerve blocks localized the issue to both front legs, in the area of the fetlock down. When she blocked out the right, which was the one he was visually…
Romeo Update
Romeo is healing well after his castration and will probably be ready to leave NWESC in a week or two. At this point we are just waiting for him to realize he isn’t a stallion anymore and settle — he is still very fixated on other horses right now.
Nadia Update — 4/17
Next weekend, Nadia will be returning from training. She has been doing really well, and finally learning how to be a proper arena horse and not just having two speeds (“dead run” and “whoa”). She is learning how to give to the bit and has not had any issues with…

Dory’s adopter, Betsy, has moved to New Hampshire for her work. She has left Dory in dressage training while she has been gone, and this spring, Dory will be joining her in NH. We did her site check this March at her training barn. She is doing very well in her…

Michael Sparling and Ben
When Michael Sparling came to town for his most recent clinic at SHS, we asked him to work with Ben for a short session to help us assess him for training. Michael worked with Ben on the ground before getting into the saddle. Ben demonstrated both the anxiety under…
Update on Cameo
We are increasing Cameo’s hand walking to 15 minutes 2 times a day this week and so far so good. She is off all medication and is stable. She remains in good spirits and is relaxed for her hand walks and light massages. She loves her fan we set up outside her stall…
A perfect HOME for Kai
It takes a village to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome a horse and we all celebrate and share the success when one of the SAFE horses finds their forever home. We are excited to announce that our handsome boy Kai has found a loving home with Barbara F. He has just…
