Dexter Update from Aug 12, 2010
Update from Sara Hall: I have a good news/bad news update with Dexter. The bad news is that we were not as prepared as we should have been for the show and Dexter was super amped up/anxious in the show environment. Ultimately I decided to scratch my afternoon of…
Lola Update from Aug 12 2010
Lola has been working quite hard at her in-hand halter and showmanship over the last few weeks and we were all disappointed when she could not get to the SAFE show last weekend due to a sudden illness in her foster family and a trailer/schedule mishap that left her…
Deeds Update from Aug 10 2010
Since Deeds has been returned to SAFE, he spent several months in a foster home where he was started lightly back under saddle, mostly bareback, and was ridden and led on walks on the trails. Unfortunately, he developed what turned out to be a mild case of cellulitis…

Dexter Update from July 31, 2010
Update from Sara Hall: I rode Dexter for the 4th time today and took my second lesson with Andrea. Each ride is better with him. He’s *starting* to understand bending and stearing. We got the left lead canter 3 or 4 times in a row today and ended on a good note, when…
Bubbles Update from July 29 2010
Bubbles loaded right into my trailer without hesitation and hauled like a pro the 6+ hours in the heat and traffic it took me to get home from Oregon. Bubbles is quite a looker and a very sweet girl at that! Even though she still needs a little work on having her hind…

Ben at Safe Harbor
Ben arrived safely at Safe Harbor Stables and Terry & Laura spent some time with him, getting him cleaned up and taking photos. As we suspected, this guy is a sweetheart!
Ben Intake Photos
We picked up Ben today from Pierce County Animal Control. He’s a 12 year old Thoroughbred gelding, tall, chestnut, with a blaze and one hind sock. He was picked up by Animal Control after a pizza delivery driver found him running down the road — he was in pitifully…
Thank you Pilchuck Vet Hospital!
Over the course of the past year, SAFE has been extremely fortunate to have received donated veterinary services from Pilchuck Veterinary Equine Hospital. Their expertise and generosity has made it possible for us to perform diagnostic work on horses that we wouldn’t…
The Paddock Paradise Project
Turnout. Every horse owner wants to provide more of it, but that’s often easier said than done. Land is expensive, and here in the Pacific Northwest, our winters and our horses can turn a lovely pasture to mud faster than you can say “What happened to my lovely…
SAFE Values Statement
SAFE is currently going through an exciting period of development and growth, and as a result, we’ve had the opportunity to take a closer look at who we are and why we choose to do the things that we do. Having defined these values for ourselves, it seemed to make…
Owen Training Update
Owen’s work under saddle with trainer Matt Olson is proceeding right on schedule…our curly boy is now walking, trotting, and cantering with a rider. If you’ve been following Owen’s story, you’ll know that we’ve all been a bit surprised at how well he’s done in his…
