Charmeon Update
Charmeon has had some training now and lightly started under saddle but still needs more. The owner has since lost her home and sold her furniture to pay for board and training for her two horses. This is a nice mare that still has a lot of potential!
Zan Update from Jan 9 2011
I liked Zan so much I called the trainer to see if she’d come down and give me a lesson today. While Zan was a bit of a nut on the lunge line yesterday (bucking and racing around before settling in) today she gave me a quiet, rythmic trot instead. I’ve been told this…
Lexi Update from Jan 9 2011
I just thought I’d update Lexi’s thread. She’s a volunteer favorite. She’s so sweet and easy to handle. It seems like she’s always out getting groomed or loved on. I rode her a few times last fall in anticipation of her being looked at by a potential adopter (and of…

Dexter back under saddle after being returned to SAFE in December.
Dexter Update from Jan 8 2011
I’m sad to report that Dexter is back at SAFE. While I like to hang out with him- I was really hoping to never see his cute face again. He was a very good boy for his potential adopter for about 2 months and then he had some behavioral issues and was returned. It…

Honeycutt Update from June 9 2010
We were worried that Honeycutt might have troubles adjusting to his new foster home, as change is hard for him as he is such a worried, timid horse. We needn’t have been concerned, he has settled in just fine. 🙂

It gets better
How’s this for an amazing transformation? On the left, Rocky at intake, Sept 2014. On the right, Rocky today. He’s come so far and overcome so much, but Rocky is still very, very unsure about people, especially strangers. We’re looking at bringing him back to Safe…
Emmy’s Surgery is Successful
Update: Bone fragments successfully removed. Remainder of joint looks good. Surgery uneventful, tolerated anesthesia well. She was “smart” standing up after. She will be assessed for status and comfort tomorrow AM to determine if she can be discharged.
