Bubbles & Lola Update from Dec 19 2010
Bubbles and Lola are at a wonderful foster home together and they are doing terrific! Here’s an update from their foster mom: The girls are doing well and are happy. Bubbles is getting better with her blanket being taken on/off and they both have improved on being…
Zan Update from Dec 5, 2010
Update from SAFE Volunteer Coordinator, Allison Sheka: I took Zan out yesterday for a good grooming and photo shoot. She stood nicely in the crossties and has good manners on the ground. She was shy about being caught, but came around with cookies. I put her in the…
Nadia Update Dec 1, 2010
I received an email from the woman who had Nadia and the other seized from her. She provided some information on Nadia, that she had purchased her from Darlene Wilson (same as Calamity) and that she is supposedly cart-trained and has been used in parades. She stated…
Delilah Update from Dec 1 2010
Since Delilah’s adoption did not work out, today we sent her up to start training with our trainer. I think she’s going to be a super nice horse, just need to be mindful of her alpha status and her size with other horses. She loaded and hauled perfectly…can’t wait…
Zan Update from Dec 1, 2010
Unfortunately, Zan’s pending adoption has fallen through. This has nothing to do with Zan herself, but rather a change in the status of the family that was planning to adopt her. Zan has returned to SAFE and she looks great. We are hoping to get a rider on her ASAP…
Deeds Update from Nov 18 2010
Update from Sheridan: Deeds is doing well; he’s here at my place in Monroe. He did a month of training with Kim Gatley in Maltby, and it did wonders for him both on groundwork and under saddle. He’s very quiet and generally very sweet. I just wish I had more time to…

Training Update: Finn
Unfortunately Finn has come up lame this month. We had Dr Krauter out to asses him and she found that the root of the lameness is in his left stifle. He is getting some time off and a loading dose of Pentosan. We will reassess him at the end of the load but we are now…
Training Update: Kai
Poor Kai had a few hoof abscesses this month. We have been treating them and all are healing up well. We are working him in boots, and that seems to be helping with his front foot tenderness. He is holding a good weight through the winter. We are looking into getting…
Training Update: Phoenix
Phoenix was introduced to small paddock turnout this month — he really enjoyed the change of scenery and spending time next to other horses. We are working him up to longer amounts of sustained trot. Currently he is doing 1–3 laps of trot with a few long sides of…
Dottie’s New Foster Adventure
As much as we’ve loved having Dottie Belle at Safe Harbor, the relative confinement hasn’t always worked well for her size and temperament, resulting in a string of colic scares. We’ve done all we can via diet and supplements to keep her happy, but really what this…
Unusually warm weather in January? Bath day!
