Holly Update — Oct 18, 2010
Update from Holly’s adopter: Well, we learned something this last week. I brought Holly over to Julie’s to play. Julie hadn’t been on her in a long time. Julie had gotten new sand in her arena. I rode Holly and showed Julie some of the things we were working on. Then…
Zan Update from Oct 17, 2010
Zan has turned out to be a really super riding horse. Our trainer reports she is super cute under saddle, with a really pretty trot, naturally on the bit, very sweet. She’s solid walk/trot/canter now and while in training, she caught the eye of a young girl that takes…
Lucky Update from Oct 16, 2010
I rode Lucky today for the first time. We would have been on him sooner but he was pretty sore on his feet until we finally put front shoes and pads on him, and then we couldn’t seem to go a day without him pulling one of them. But we have them back on, plus bell…
Holly Update — Oct 1, 2010
Update from Holly’s adopter: I brought Holly home today from her month at the ranch. She was happy to be home. While there Portia worked on getting her to pick up her shoulders and balance herself. The canter work and transitions were another thing they worked on.…
Baxter Update from Sept 30 2010
I worked with Baxter again last night. I think Jaime’s got him totally fixed now because both times I’ve worked with him he was Mr. Easytocatch. That said, he’s not exactly a snuggly horse… he just has an air about him that he’s waiting for you to be mean to him. He…
Baxter Update from Sept 26 2010
Update from Sara: I rode Baxter in a lesson today. Like Dexter, he doesn’t know much (and is somewhat nervous about whips & crops). But… he’s willing to try and quite fun to ride (big, comfy trot!). He’s not very fit right now (which is understandable considering…
Holly Update — Sept 24, 2010
Update from Holly’s adopter: I just got back from spending a couple of days at the ranch where Holly is “going to school”. She is doing really good with her lessons and I had an awesome ride on her yesterday. I tried to get some pictures but wasn’t too successful.…
Aiden Update from Sept 23 2010
It’s been too long since we posted an Aiden update. We moved Aiden to a foster home in Carnation this summer and he has been romping in 10 acres of pasture with his buddy, a 33 year old gelding named Hawk. I hadn’t seen Aiden in some time but last night I stopped by…

Ben has a sweet spot…
…and Steph knows right where it is! This is a happy horse. Ben is steadily gaining weight and winning the hearts of our volunteers! He is a sweet boy and very smart and willing to work. We are just lightly working him at liberty and adding a little bit of…
January Volunteer of the Month: Lisa Garr!
Congratulations to our first Volunteer of the Month for 2015…Lisa Garr!! Lisa began volunteering in February of last year, starting with a weekly chore shift and then promptly added a second shift. It wasn’t too long before Terry saw what an asset Lisa could be for…
A rough month for Lola…
Lola has had a difficult month. She was becoming sour to work at the trot and canter about 4 weeks ago and we starting to question the saddle fit, other things that might be causing her discomfort and possible behavioral issues. She had been going so well this change…
Bridgit training update from Kim Lacy
From trainer Kim Lacy: “Bridgit is doing well. She’s very sensible, she just has a lot of energy. Now that we are doing more “work” she is better focused. The biggest issue with her right now is she is pretty weak in her hind end and over her back and she does get…
Kai Update
Kai is doing wonderful for both his riding work and behavior. He is getting to spend a few nights a week in the arena for turnout which has been great for his energy level and training rides. We are working right now to clear up some thrush in his front feet. Wet…
