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…
Lucky Update from July 28, 2010
Just wanted to give an update on Lucky. He’s been transitioned off his racing plates and is currently barefoot. He is a bit sore and did blow a big abcess right away but is doing well now and sporting a barefoot trim. All his cuts and dings have healed and he is…
Dexter Update from July 28, 2010
So I am going to go ahead and re-list Dexter as available for adoption. He is going quite well for Sara under saddle (a little stubborn about going to the left, a little ring sour about going towards the gate, but nothing major). We have still not seen any signs of…
Holly Update — July 25, 2010
Update from Holly’s adopter: Holly attended the ACTHA Pink Ribbon ride today. We did a four and a half hour ride with 10 obstacles. All dressed up in pink! We are very proud of her. The trail itself has many challenges. Hills, up and down. Lots of scary things too.…

Nala Intake Photos
We picked Nala up today from the Pierce Co Animal Control holding barn. She loaded into the trailer without a fuss, and made the successful trip to Poulsbo where she will begin working immediately with trainer Matt Olson. Here are her intake photos, along with video…
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…
