Zan videos from Jan 8 2011
Jamie took some video of us riding. She does give a small buck/kick out going into the canter. She’s had over 60 days of professional training but *is* still green. Also, she has had over a month off. As you’ll see, canter was easier to the right than the left. She’s…
Zan Update from Jan 8 2011
Zan’s thread just does not reflect what a little gem she is. It’s been a dark icky winter so far and I have not been as motivated, as I should be, but the weather was crappy in the mountains and I was up early this morning (and bailed on riding last night) so I…
Bucky B Lucky: a TV Star!
January 5th was an exciting day for SAFE and Bucky B Lucky. A few weeks ago, we were contacted by a reporter named Jenny Cunningham from KCTS‑9 (the Seattle PBS television station). She told us that she was working on a story about what happens to racehorses once…
Honeycutt Update from Jan 5 2011
Yesterday Honeycutt was moved back to Silverdale to once again live with our VP Bonnie at her farm over in Silverdale. Honeycutt lived there for over two years previously so this is a bit of a homecoming for both of them, although still temporary. She reported that…
Buckwheat Update from Dec 26 2010
It has been quite a while since I posted about Bucky. He’s full of energy and seems to be enjoying himself. He is a real cutie! He’s always escorting me to his stall when I come down to feed in the evenings, and he has very good barn manners. I had his ACTH re-tested…
Summer Update from Dec 26 2010
Summer is doing well. She continues to be on pergolide, but she’s doing well at 1mg. Her coat is slightly longer and thicker than last year but I think that’s more a reflection of the kind of winter we’re supposed to have. She’s holding her weight and is continuing to…
Aiden Update from Dec 19 2010
Aiden update!! Thanks Peggy!! Just letting you know baby Aiden is doing great, the “herd” has let him back in and he cuddles the mare all the time.. he did not know what to do when she was in heat, I looked out one day and he had her tail in his mouth and was pulling…
Kai Training Update
Kai is doing “amazing well” during his tuneup training with Joel Conner. We couldn’t be happier with his progress and how soft, relaxed, and balanced Joel has him going. Take a look at these fun photos of Kai getting accustomed to a rope being thrown from the saddle…

March Volunteer of the Month: Jackie Liles
SAFE depends on volunteers in many different ways. Jackie Liles is one of our most important volunteers: she is a SAFE Foster! Jackie has been fostering horses with SAFE for several years. She opens her home and heart for any horse we ask of her. There have been times…
Lucky in Love
Obviously, adoptions are special to us…nothing makes us happier than being able to announce that one of the SAFE horses has found a home. But every so often, an adoption will fall into place that just reaches into our hearts and gives a little squeeze. An adoption…
New Board Members: Welcome Lara Lutz and Meghan Hoey!
We would like to introduce two new additions to the SAFE Board of Directors: one, a familiar face, and the other, a new friend! Lara Lutz has been involved with SAFE since the day she opened her home and heart to a rescued mare named Amber, way back in 2010. Since…
March training update: Karma
I cannot lie, this horse is my favorite to ride and work with at Safe Harbor. She is very smart, sensitive and loyal. We continue to progress every week with more consistent riding, light aids and very soft contact in her mouth. We have restarted Karma using the style…
