Corona Update Feb 13 2011
Quick update on Corona — he is doing very well, on antibiotics now and the vet reports he is very tolerant for his twice-daily chlorahexadine scrubs. She does feel bad for him as he is probably in some amount of discomfort, but she has not felt comfortable giving him…
Lucky Update — Feb. 13, 2011
We also had one of our newer volunteers Victoria ride Lucky for the first time in a lesson. Lucky however, was having a “Thoroughbred day” — his brain was simply not in the game today and he was fidgety, agitated, and unable to concentrate. Lunging settled him…
Annie and Zanadu Update — Feb 13, 2011
Today was lesson day at the farm today. We had a potential adopter come out to watch Zanadu and Sara in her lesson today. I missed the lesson but Sara reported Zanadu did great today, no bucking or kicking out in the canter at all today and the trainer set up trot…
Charmeon Update — Feb 12, 2011
Charmeon’s owner has hired a trainer to start her under saddle. She sent us this photo. Looks like she is doing well! Also, I double checked her height as she looks much taller than 15h in the photo. She is 16 hands and 1800 lbs!
SAFE Journal — Feb 12, 2011
Another busy day at SAFE! This morning Allison, one of our volunteers and myself hauled Annie and Zanadu up to the Evergreen Fairgrounds in Monroe where they participated in an event for the Snohomish County 4H called Equine-O-Rama. Dr. Hannah Evergreen gave a talk…
Training Update on Baxter & Delilah — Feb 12 2011
Delilah and Baxter both went on trail rides this week at the Pilchuck Tree Farm! Both did great, Delilah was relaxed and on a loose rein and Baxter was also extremely good. Sara was able to ride him in a lesson on Thursday, he gave her one buck at the canter but she…
Tia Update Feb 12 2001
Tia seems to have settled down and is no longer agitated as long as she is in her stall, but her left eye is still bothering her quite a bit and very swollen and oozing. She may have banged it during her bout of anxiety, or its possible she is having a uveitis…
Corona Update Feb 12 2011
Corona is doing very well! Dr. Hannah has spoken to the vet who saw him earlier this week and she feels like the injury will be relatively minor once we get the infection under control. We’ve been contacted by three people who knew Corona back when he lived in…
May Volunteer of the Month: Caren McMillen!
Caren has been volunteering at SAFE since February of 2014 and we are truly lucky to have her. Caren volunteers every Monday morning to feed the horses and do chores. She is always smiling during her shift and often stays around to help when needed. Beyond just…
Foster Update- Rocky
We just got a nice update on Rocky from his foster mom Kellie: “Rocky has been out a couple more times in turnout. I am only putting him out when I can watch him for now. Unfortunately, we had to put down his “neighbor” on Monday, so, Rocky has now moved to the other…
Training Update: Oscar
Here’s Oscar looking like a million bucks with Melonie Rainey in the saddle. We got an update recently from Melonie, who reports, “Oscar is doing excellent! But.…it’s up and down. He can be a real booger. He started bucking WAY too frequently with Zack [Melonie’s…
Get well, Anderson!
Anderson is experiencing some complications related to his gelding surgery. He has increased swelling and general discomfort along with slightly depressed attitude. He was started on antibiotics today, and this will delay his discharge from Cedarbrook Vet Care. We’d…
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…
