Ask and Ye Shall Receive: the Story of Redmond
Jaime & I went to the Yakima feedlot in Oct 2005 to help CBER evaluate a large group of new horses. Because there were so many horses at the lot, CBER had to focus on the sound, rideable horses that would be the easiest to find home for. There was a chestnut…
Tia Dec 1 2010
Tia is doing well, she seems stocked up on her right hind but she doesn’t favor it or move lame on it. I put her in the arena for a bit last night with Slam and Vanna and she rolled and ran and bucked with the two of them. She is very vocal and has quite a distictive…
Tia Oct 28 2010
Tia had a recheck today on her eyes and they look much better. The ulcer in her right eye is now healed and there is no more discharge out of either eye. The eye specialist does not feel that she is in any discomfort in the blind eye and no further action is needed,…
Tia Oct 25 2010
Caiti and I worked on her rain rot and gave her a thorough grooming complete with a pretty braided tail over the weekend. She tied in the stall very well and was practically falling asleep on us as we groomed her and showed us her funny face as we scratched all her…
Tia Update from Oct 21 2010
Tia’s fecal came back and she was LOADED with worms. 503 Strongyle ova per gram! Even the vet was surprised. I wormed her today with just a half-dose of Ivermectin and am hoping that she doesn’t get sick from the die-off. In a week she will get dosed again with a full…
Tia Photos from Oct 19 2010
Here are some photos. I think some of these pictures really capture her spirit. She is obviously thrilled to be in the company of other horses and seems very happy to be where she is now. Hopefully she is on her way to feeling better as well. [gallery link=“file”…

Annie Before & After
A happy home for Skittles
We talk a lot about dreams coming true for our horses when we finally get to send them off to their new home, but we’re happiest when an adoption can make a dream come true for the human side of the new partnership as well. Susanne M has supported SAFE for quite some…

Emmy veterinary update
Emmy was seen by Dr McCracken at Rainland Equine last week for continuing diagnostics, following the discovery of the OCD lesion in her stifle. The results of these diagnostics were informative but not completely conclusive. Dr McCracken used Rainland’s “Lameness…
Michael Sparling Clinic: Kai
Kai did well for Stephanie in the Michael Sparling Clinic. He was, as Michael put it, the trickiest horse that came to the clinic. To ride Kai successfully, your timing has to be dead on and you have to be right there to support and help him find balance. It is…
