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!
Dexter — NH clinic
One of our volunteers, Debi, has a small boarding facility in Clearview and she has a Parelli instructor named Michael Sparling come to her barn and do clinics. She spoke to Michael about Dexter and he agreed to work with Dexter at no charge to SAFE. Here’s a…
Corona Update April 3 2011
Corona is doing well, but still not completely healed. He remains very tolerant for his treatments, however. He is also doing something we have seen with a few starved horses, where they come in with a thick winter coat with a top layer of really long, wiry guard…
Romeo — April 3

Zan Update — April 3
Zanadu was a popular girl this weekend, having two potential adopters come and meet her this weekend. She has been a little grouchy lately on the ground, not sure if it is related to coming into heat or what. She’s fussy and overly sensitive about being groomed…

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…

Stall Rest for Cameo
Two weeks ago, Cameo had a training mishap during a ground work session. She was being worked on a long lead rope, and she flipped her tail up and over the rope, clamped her tail down, and pulled the rope out of the hands of the person who was working her. In an…
