Aiden Update

We picked up Aiden today in anticipation of him going to training tomorrow, and Nadia’s return (if you hadn’t heard, she is already pending adoption).  Here’s a picture of him hanging out in our pasture.  He’s still only about 14h, but stocky and absolutely a…

Corona Update April 23 2011

Quick update for your Easter weekend…this beautiful day I took Corona out and cleaned him up. Finally, he is growing in a much healthier-looking summer coat where he had been bald in patches. He is still clinging on to some of the more stubborn long wiry winter coat…

Nadia — Pending Adoption!

Nadia is not even back from training yet (she is coming back on Sunday), and she already has a potential adopter!  They went up and tried Nadia up at the trainer’s and feel she is a perfect fit for her family.  Pending adoption!

Charmeon

breed: Percheron cross color: grey age: 14 (born 1997) sex: mare height: 16 hh location: Monroe, WA Charmeon is green broke and best suited for an intermediate or above rider. Charmeon is a very nice mare with good conformation and a beautiful, floating trot. She was…

Charmeon Update — April 17

Charmeon is coming along well in her training and is much better about steering. She starts out very forward but runs out of steam quickly as she’s not very fit, but she remains very level-headed, sweet, and easy to work with. She’s a powerful mover and a fun ride! I…

Nadia & Aiden Update — April 17

Next weekend, Nadia will be returning from training.  She has been doing really well, and finally learning how to be a proper arena horse and not just having two speeds (ā€œdead runā€ and ā€œwhoaā€).  She is learning how to give to the bit and has not had any issues with…

Bucky B Lucky update — April 17

We had an emergency call with Dr. Hannah last week when Corona managed to crib a board  so much that it broke, and then somehow Lucky managed to gouge himself on the pointed end of the board. He’s fine, but wasn’t too happy about it being touched for a few days to be…

Annie & Zan — April 17

Annie and Zanadu were stars this weekend! Annie had a potential adopter come and ride her on Saturday as did Zanadu, who was ridden in a lesson with our trainer. Both rode the horses really well and would make really great matches for them. They both plan to come back…

Stella is one FUN ride!

Stella has been a doll to work with in training at Safe Harbor this past moth. I have been her primary rider but recently I asked volunteer rider Casey to ride her a few times a week. Stella was absolutely great for her new rider. This was a really important test to…

Banjo Update

Banjo is doing well at NWESC. He was a bit sucked up in his flanks on Friday and they think it was from de-worming. He’s been given some Probiotics and Banamine to help. He is also on a little bute to help with his hoof pain. He is soaking in apple cider vinegar each…

Lola keeps on going strong!

We have been steadily adding riding time to Lola’s workouts and she is doing great. She has been easy to start up again with no big issues and acts like she didn’t miss a day of work. We continue to stay on the rail or do big circles so we don’t over stress any…

Finding the Feel: Jewel

We are all very excited that for her senior community service project, volunteer Claire Crist chose SAFE! Here is a little about her first project with Jewel. You can follow her progress online at: http://learning.safehorses.org ā€œMy name is Claire Crist. I’ve been…

Ben & Oscar — An Unexpected Friendship

A few weeks ago, we had a wonderful group from Microsoft come to SAFE for a Day of Caring. All the horses had to be out of the barns since the group was pressure washing and replacing gravel and mats in the stalls. So we were a little short of places to put all the…
