Lucky Update from July 28, 2010
Just wanted to give an update on Lucky. He’s been transitioned off his racing plates and is currently barefoot. He is a bit sore and did blow a big abcess right away but is doing well now and sporting a barefoot trim. All his cuts and dings have healed and he is…
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…

A visit with Sapphire
SAFE Volunteer Manager Heather shared these photos of Sapphire on the SAFE Tumblr page. I asked her to fill us in on how our girl is faring at her foster home. “I take lesson there on Saturdays,” Heather explained, “and I get to spend time with Sapphire. She spent the…
Trotting with Owen
One week under saddle and Owen is making astounding progress with trainer Matt Olson. Check out this video, taken at the end of Owen’s lesson last Thursday. Did you notice how willingly Owen walked over the “bridge” from the trails course? How about that reinback? All…
October Training Report
Phoenix had a hard month concentrating under saddle. He continues to look sound on the front but does come out of his stall pretty stiff both in the front and hind. He had quite a few naughty days this month mostly due to work, noise, and activity at the barn that…
Finn Update
We’ve had a setback with Finn’s soundness this month. He has had some slight stiffness and isn’t looking as comfortable as he had been. When farrier Jake came to put on his new shoes last week, we noticed a bruise next to his frog on the right front. There was no…
