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,…

March training update: Karma
I cannot lie, this horse is my favorite to ride and work with at Safe Harbor. She is very smart, sensitive and loyal. We continue to progress every week with more consistent riding, light aids and very soft contact in her mouth. We have restarted Karma using the style…
March training update: Misty!
Misty is going very well for her volunteer riders. She is working on good ground manners and we have had little to no problems managing her behavior at Safe Harbor. She did have an allergic reaction a few weeks ago to what we could only guess was a bee sting. It…
Ben training update
Ben has been getting some good work with our volunteer riders. He is a very interesting fellow who has a playful side that has to be carefully managed. He is not for an inexperienced horse person. Even walking him to and from turnout requires the handler to be mindful…
Video: Ben Jumping (baby fences!)
Ben really seems to enjoy free jumping! Terry set up this little jump chute in the arena, and Ben was more than willing to show us how easily he can soar over a 6″ cavaletti! Go Ben go!
Letters from friends: Skye and Strider
We were delighted to receive some very special mail last week that included letters and photos from two adopted SAFE horses, Strider and Skye! They both sound very happy in their new home! First a letter from the big horse himself: Hi SAFE Friends, It’s Strider! I’m…
March training update: Cameo
Cameo has improved so much over the past several months. She’s become very steady under saddle and seems so much more mature. She is lovely to handle and work with now that she has lost that flighty edge. She has really settled into the ground work and being ridden on…
