Buckwheat Update from May 16 2010
Foster Home Update: I wanted to update everyone on how Bucky is doing. He is just so darn adorable! He and Summer are doing very well together. When he first arrived, they were getting along but tended to be a little independent. Now more often than not they are…
Summer Update from May 16 2010
Update from foster home: Summer continues to do well. She and Bucky have become good friends and they have a nice routine established. Summer reminds me quite a bit of a wonderful older horse we had many years ago. I found Wallstreet when he was 18 and I wanted a very…
Sinatra Update from May 15 2010
Update from Sundance Equestrian: Sinatra has continued his new life out at the barn, but since he is still without a girth, we have continued to work him on the line. This week he made amazing progress & started to get more comfortable working to the right as well…
Lucky Update from May 13, 2010
Dr. Bryant left a little bit ago. Overall the news is good…not great, but good. Lucky has two bone chips in his left front ankle. One is quite large and completely detached, the other is smaller and adhered to the bone. He also has significant remodeling going on on…

Baxter Update from May 8, 2010
Baxter was wonderful for his second ride today! Really, he’s almost TOO laid back, he’s completely non-reactive to anything you do up there. Getting him forward was the biggest issue, as he really didn’t mind if you thumped him with your legs or even slapped him on…
Delilah Update from May 8 2010
Sampson is hilarious! He has decided he wants to be a racehorse when he grows up, and practices in his field as often as he can. He *loves* his ball and every time he notices it he races over to it to give it a bite or a kick or a shove. He is a big boy, even next to…
Lucky Update from May 8, 2010
Lucky is SUCH a sweet boy, with great manners, very neat and tidy in his stall. The LF leg is ugly, and he has a hard lump on his RH as well, just above the fetlock. He’s covered in bites and kicks from the other horses at the auction house. We took him out today for…

Another trail ride adventure for Skye, Skittles, and Lola
We took a big group to the Redmond Watershed today for a trail ride: Skittles, Skye, Lola and Debi’s horse Summer. It was good to go out on a busy trail day so we could see more people, bikes and other horses. All the horses did very well. Skittles was a great leader…
A change of plans for Chip
Chip returned from foster care to Safe Harbor about a month ago and we had high hopes about getting him started in our training program. But with the chance to observe him in motion, we’ve seen some signs that a career as a riding horse might not be the best thing for…
The color of fall…
…is best personified by the lovely redhead Miss Skittles. Photos from our Sept 28th “Friend-Raiser” at Safe Harbor.
Karma teaches newcomers about SAFE!
SAFE held a Friend-Raiser last weekend and invited volunteers to bring their friends to learn more about the rescue. Terry and a few of the horses put on a neat demonstration for our guests. Karma was a big part of the festivities, demonstrating what she’s learned…
Skittles says “What are you waiting for?!”
Skittles has been with SAFE since January, and she is more than ready for her forever home! She has so much she wants to do, she’s just waiting for the right friend to come along and share some adventures with her! Over the last couple of months, Skittles experienced…
