Dory Update — Sept 3, 2009
Pending Adoption!
Buckwheat Update from Sept 1 2009
Poor Buckwheat. His ACTH results came back…normal for this time of year is around 21–53, his was at 164, so quite elevated and definitively Cushings. Well I guess it is a good thing that his adopters could no longer keep him so we can now get him the care he needs!…
Annie Update from Aug 30 2009
Annie looking beautiful today. Sarah was really working with her to get her to lengthen her frame a bit, she wants to travel very bottled up or very behind the vertical. She finally got her to do a little better and I was snapping up lots of photos. I got so many good…
Buckwheat Update from Aug 29 2009
Bucky is settling in here at the farm. This week has been a busy week for him, as he got wormed, his feet trimmed, his teeth floated, vaccinated and and overall health check. We were pretty concerned about Bucky when we got him back because he is thin and also did not…
Biscotti — Aug 24, 2009 — SAFE Horse Show
Monica did a great job preparing Scotti for the show and he did so well! He didn’t much like being stalled, and tried a few times to climb his way out (Naughty Scotti!) but when he was out and about he was SUCH a good boy!
Dory — SAFE Benefit Horse Show, Aug 24, 2009
Dory did great at the show! She was a little vocal in the showmanship class but settled down as the day wore on and stayed very manageable even when she was nervous. Susan Hammon from Cowgirl Spirit graciously stepped in to help with handling Dory in Showmanship and…
Annie Update from Aug 24 2009
Annie did just fabulous at the show! She surprised us all by being just cool as a cucumber with all the activity in the arena! I was really proud of her, our little wild child has grown up! Of course, she had to remind us just how sensitive our little drama queen can…
Sinatra Update from Aug 24 2009
Sinatra was among several SAFE horses who competed at the 3rd Annual SAFE Benefit Horse Show. He was a superstar at the show, and even won a blue ribbon in the Halter class for the Rescue Horse division. I talked to our judge, Leslie Killpatrick, over email, and told…

If you follow Honeycutt’s blog, you know that he shares a lot of secrets about horses and their interactions. Today’s update on Owen comes straight from the horse’s mouth… Owen is a new SAFE horse who lives here with me for now. There’s something about Owen that is…
Skittles is Ready!
We’ve had a lot of good things to say about Skittles since she arrived at SAFE after her rehabilitation at NWESC. Let’s recap: She’s beautiful. A bright chestnut Arab with a big wide blaze and three white socks, she’ll catch your eye for sure! She’s healthy. NWESC did…

Skittles Training Update
Skittles did very well on the trail ride Sunday. She is very brave, liked to lead, and had a go button. Overall she stayed calm and listened well. She would have loved to run up the hills but I was able to keep her at a walk. She was fine with the other horses too. I…
Ruby Red
Ruby is a lucky horse who has an entire community behind her, pulling for her recovery! She got a visit today from one of her major benefactors, SAFE supporter Bernice S, who spent some time with our girl in the company of SAFE president Debi Shatos. Debi reports that…
Good news for Jewel?
Dr King of Pilchuck Vet Hospital came out to SHS and donated her time to give lameness exams to some of the SAFE horses. We asked her to take a look at Miss Jewel, and her assessment of Jewel’s crooked leg was not half bad. In fact, she told us she’s seen perfectly…
