Castle Rock horses — available as SAFE-Assisted placements
SAFE is assisting in the placement of three horses located in Castle Rock WA. These horses are owned by a woman who has been recently diagnosed with cancer who will be starting chemotherapy and radiation therapy later this month. Because of this, her ability to care…
Char Update — 4/10/11
Today my neighbor, Natalie, who happens to be a Grand Prix show jumper/trainer, came over and helped me work with Char for her first ride since she arrived at SAFE a week ago. We took her out and put her in the cross-ties, and she was very, very good for being tied,…
Holly — pending adoption!
Holly has had quite a bit of interest in her (no surprise there). Merle’s been understandably picky about where her Holly will go, but we think we may have found a great home for her. Pending adoption!
Dexter — NH clinic
One of our volunteers, Debi, has a small boarding facility in Clearview and she has a Parelli instructor named Michael Sparling come to her barn and do clinics. She spoke to Michael about Dexter and he agreed to work with Dexter at no charge to SAFE. Here’s a…
Corona Update April 3 2011
Corona is doing well, but still not completely healed. He remains very tolerant for his treatments, however. He is also doing something we have seen with a few starved horses, where they come in with a thick winter coat with a top layer of really long, wiry guard…
Romeo — April 3
Romeo is doing very well after his castration, and tolerating his forced exercise well. Dr. Hannah reports he is still somewhat agitated and pacing in his stall, which is actually helping keeping the swelling under control. That should go away in a couple more weeks…
Sinatra — April 3
Sinatra has been lunged the last several days to see if his lameness issue got any worse, and to make it more easy to detect with nerve blocks because it was very mild at best and not sensitive to hoof testers and not positive on a flexion test. So far, he has…
Zan Update — April 3
Zanadu was a popular girl this weekend, having two potential adopters come and meet her this weekend. She has been a little grouchy lately on the ground, not sure if it is related to coming into heat or what. She’s fussy and overly sensitive about being groomed…
Playful Brigdit!
Rest in Peace: Craspedia (2007–2015)
It took just a moment to fall in love with him, but it will take a lifetime to forget him. We met Craspedia in a field, a tall handsome fellow with a kind eye who stood calmly and quietly while we said hello to him. His owner had contacted us a few days before,…
New SAFE Intake: Banjo
Banjo was surrendered to SAFE by his owners on the recommendation of City of Snohomish animal control officers, who discovered the gelding had not received basic vet or farrier care for more than five years. The horse had gone unhandled for many years as well, making…
Maggie Returns
A few weeks ago, we received the unhappy news from Maggie’s adopters that they needed find a new home for her. This was by no means Maggie’s fault. She had fit in well at their farm, behaved like a perfect lady, and given them her trust. But they felt that their…
