Dexter Update from July 28, 2010
So I am going to go ahead and re-list Dexter as available for adoption. He is going quite well for Sara under saddle (a little stubborn about going to the left, a little ring sour about going towards the gate, but nothing major). We have still not seen any signs of…
Holly Update — July 25, 2010
Update from Holly’s adopter: Holly attended the ACTHA Pink Ribbon ride today. We did a four and a half hour ride with 10 obstacles. All dressed up in pink! We are very proud of her. The trail itself has many challenges. Hills, up and down. Lots of scary things too.…
Holly Update — July 21, 2010
Update from Holly’s adopter: Holly got her first set of shoes today. Now that the dry weather has arrived and the mud has dried, it was time for Holly to have shoes for the trails. We tried them out today and they work great! Holly was so good.
Sinatra Update from July 17 2010
Update from Sundance Equestrian: Sinatra has progressed so much on the line! We are so exited about him! He is now able to canter calmly and quietly as well as trot like an old pro ‑we are all very proud of him and the work the Danika and Chelsea have put into him.…
Bubbles Update from July 8 and 17th, 2010
Training update from Stacy Riggs (July 8, 2010): “Bubbles is doing great. She has been learning to tie and has been standing tied for a couple hours each day. She stands quietly and has not offered once to pull back or paw. We have a lot of traffic in the barn with…
Dexter Update from July 17, 2010
Today’s update comes from Sara Hall who has been riding Dexter on a fairly regular basis: I took Dexter for a spin today. Although quiet green and very quiet- he’s not lazy. He did give me quite the workout though. Dex is a super sweet, easy to handle (in my…
Greta Update — July 16, 2010
From Molly: Quick update; Greta is doing great! With the help of my awesome natural hoof practitioner and some diet changes.…no re-occurrence of founder. I can’t believe 5 years has already gone by since the SAFE beginnings, what amazing work has been done. Thank…
Lola Update from July 13 2010
I spent some time with Lola this weekend. I’ve been concerned about her since she lost her friend & pasture mate, Jasmine, this week. She was very quiet for a couple of days but Saturday I got out in the pasture with her and she was engaged and interested in just…

Let’s all congratulate Leslie D as SAFE’s October Volunteer of the Month! Leslie was recruited to SAFE through another volunteer (thank you Erika!!) and we are so lucky to have her. She has a weekly chore shift and will pick up as many others as she can when other…
Another trail ride adventure for Skye, Skittles, and Lola
We took a big group to the Redmond Watershed today for a trail ride: Skittles, Skye, Lola and Debi’s horse Summer. It was good to go out on a busy trail day so we could see more people, bikes and other horses. All the horses did very well. Skittles was a great leader…
A change of plans for Chip
Chip returned from foster care to Safe Harbor about a month ago and we had high hopes about getting him started in our training program. But with the chance to observe him in motion, we’ve seen some signs that a career as a riding horse might not be the best thing for…
The color of fall…
…is best personified by the lovely redhead Miss Skittles. Photos from our Sept 28th “Friend-Raiser” at Safe Harbor.
Karma teaches newcomers about SAFE!
SAFE held a Friend-Raiser last weekend and invited volunteers to bring their friends to learn more about the rescue. Terry and a few of the horses put on a neat demonstration for our guests. Karma was a big part of the festivities, demonstrating what she’s learned…
