Delilah Updates from Mar 27 2010
7:23 am: Unfortunately, Delilah is not taking to motherhood as well as we had hoped. I have been up every two hours all night because she will not stand to let him nurse without being held and forced to. Dr. Evergreen was just here to do the iGg test and he looks…
Birth
Here you go…many more pictures to come but I need to feed horses, myself, take a shower, eat, and maybe take a nap first. But mom and baby are doing great and he’s a healthy, strapping big solid dark bay colt. He’s been up, nursed, and all the things he’s supposed…
Foal Watch 2010
March 24 Nope…no foal…! But man, that is one big mare and she can make one HUGE mess! Have I mentioned how much I hate cleaning a stall bedded with straw? UGH! And she is drinking about 6 full 5‑gallon buckets of water every day and then peeing it all back out…

Delilah Update from Mar 20–21 2010
Hoping to get some updated photos of Delilah today. She’s bagging up and getting close I think. She’s huge and uncomfortable and has lots of edema under her belly and between her front legs. Yesterday she got a little excited and tried to do a little head flip/mini…
Sinatra Update from Mar 9 and 16 2010
Mar 9 Sinatra is doing great! The trainer reports he is the easiest to start so far. She’s been on him at the walk several times now and he’s just really good. She will trot him tomorrow. She says he might be one we could get away with just 30 days on if he stays…
Sinatra Update from Mar 4 2010
Sinatra’s gone to training! He gets to live in a beautiful pasture with another 3 year old — the two of them immediately hit it off and were getting along famously… He’s done great in his first two days of training! Yesterday they groomed him, bridled him and…
Dexter Update from March 1, 2010
Dexter was adopted in late January but unfortunately, things are not working out with his adoptive home. His adopter lives on a property that is right by a busy highway. Their fencing is safe but not electric and for some reason Dexter has been repeatedly trying to…

An Open Letter from the Appaloosa Girl! Or Misty’s Summer of Contemplation…
Hello friends! This has been an interesting spring and summer for me! I left Countdown Stables at the end of February and came to Dancing Horse Stables (Kellie and Peter Larsen). They are my new foster people and Lisa, my old foster mom, is still coming to visit and…
Rocky — Intake Photos
We have a new friend to introduce: this is Rocky, a 21 year old Paso Fino gelding, who was surrendered to SAFE over the weekend. As you can see, Rocky is severely emaciated, with an infestation of lice and badly overgrown hooves. We have taken him straight to the…

Please join us in honoring Nora C as August’s Volunteer of the Month! Nora came to us this spring, asking if she could celebrate her 15th birthday with a work party at Safe Harbor Stables. Nora and her friends spent the day scrubbing fences, sweeping the barn, and…

Pretty girl!

We checked in recently with SAFE horse Bridgit to see how she is progressing in her preparation for training as a saddle horse. Bridgit has been in a foster home for the past year to give her a little time to grow and mature. Her foster mom had some wonderful things…
