Tia Update — Mar 2, 2011
Yesterday, I met with Dr. Hannah and some of the caretakers to discuss Tia. While she has settled down from her very unsettling episodes of extreme anxiety that she was exhibiting a couple of weeks ago, she is still generally showing some signs of agitation at times.…
Nadia Update — Mar. 2, 2011
Here is a photo of Nadia under saddle yesterday. She actually was not very good yesterday, she is very herdbound to her pasture mate and was screaming and fairly tuned out to the trainer (she’s since been moved and now shares a pasture with Delilah, who gets along…

Nadia Update — Feb. 28, 2011
I’ve been playing phone tag with our trainer, but I caught her for a few minutes this morning and she gave me a quick update on Nadia. Their farm in Stanwood has been buried in 3 feet of snow (and still snowing today! thank goodness we just have rain here now) and…
Corona Update Feb 27 2011
I was at NWESC today dropping off our two new horses and took the opportunity to get some updated photos of Corona. He is looking so much better! He has gained a considerable amount of weight already, his feet look much better, and his injury is looking considerably…
New Intakes — Feb 27 2011

Nala the Wonder Horse
What a difference a pair of shoes can make! Nala is doing much better in her new shoes donated by our farrier Jake Cowden. She is much more balanced and comfortable with a rider over the last two weeks since the shoes were put on. We took her on 3 trail rides this…
Our darling Bridgit!
The nickering QUEEN! There is not a lot about this cute little mare’s personality that won’t make you fall absolutely head over heels in LOVE with her! She is the type of girl that when you come up to her stall or her turnout paddock, she will come RUNNING to greet…
Training Update: Annabelle
Annabelle is getting settled into the routine at Safe Harbor Stables. For the first week she was a bit nervous when other horses where being moves around from turnout or to the arena. She also would start calling and running even if the horse across from her went out…
Training & Heath Update: Sapphire
Since last fall, our “Arabian Gem” Sapphire has had 3 separate mild colic episodes. The first two were easily managed with pain reliever, walking and monitoring. The most recent event, at the end of March, required an emergency vet call to get her feeling better.…
Training Update: Einstein
Einstein is a true smarty-pants! We have introduced tack and a rider’s weight, taking things slowly as he still has some weight and muscle to gain over his back. He has been an absolute gem about everything. He is getting used to the flag work and connects very well…
