Tia Oct 28 2010

Tia had a recheck today on her eyes and they look much better. The ulcer in her right eye is now healed and there is no more discharge out of either eye. The eye specialist does not feel that she is in any discomfort in the blind eye and no further action is needed,…

Tia Oct 25 2010

Caiti and I worked on her rain rot and gave her a thorough grooming complete with a pretty braided tail over the weekend. She tied in the stall very well and was practically falling asleep on us as we groomed her and showed us her funny face as we scratched all her…

Tia Update from Oct 21 2010

Tia’s fecal came back and she was LOADED with worms. 503 Strongyle ova per gram! Even the vet was surprised. I wormed her today with just a half-dose of Ivermectin and am hoping that she doesn’t get sick from the die-off. In a week she will get dosed again with a full…

Tia Photos from Oct 19 2010

Here are some photos. I think some of these pictures really capture her spirit. She is obviously thrilled to be in the company of other horses and seems very happy to be where she is now. Hopefully she is on her way to feeling better as well. [gallery link=ā€œfileā€ā€¦

Tia Background & History — Aug 19 2010

Tia was brought to our attention by one of our volunteers, who has been involved in Animal Rescue efforts for some time. She was located in Skokomish, on an Indian Reservation near Shelton. There is no Animal Control in that area, but fortunately the horse was bad…

Lexi Update from Aug 8 2010

I just had to post how proud I am of Lexi. She did GREAT for me at the show, especially considering I’d only started working with her the previous week and she’d had a month or two off before that. Anyway, for the record she won the dressage Intro A & B classes as…

Lexi Update from Aug 4 2010

Update from foster mom: Lexi is doing well and we’re going to try all sorts of classes at the show Saturday (dressage, english, western, trail — all walk/trot). She’s a good all arounder. I’ve been working with her lightly almost daily since I picked her up last week…

Nala the Wonder Horse

What a difference a pair of shoes can make! Nala is doing much better in her new shoes donated by our farrier Jake Cowden. She is much more balanced and comfortable with a rider over the last two weeks since the shoes were put on. We took her on 3 trail rides this…

Our darling Bridgit!

The nickering QUEEN! There is not a lot about this cute little mare’s personality that won’t make you fall absolutely head over heels in LOVE with her! She is the type of girl that when you come up to her stall or her turnout paddock, she will come RUNNING to greet…

Training Update: Annabelle

Annabelle is getting settled into the routine at Safe Harbor Stables. For the first week she was a bit nervous when other horses where being moves around from turnout or to the arena. She also would start calling and running even if the horse across from her went out…

Training & Heath Update: Sapphire

Since last fall, our ā€œArabian Gemā€ Sapphire has had 3 separate mild colic episodes. The first two were easily managed with pain reliever, walking and monitoring. The most recent event, at the end of March, required an emergency vet call to get her feeling better.…

Training Update: Einstein

Einstein is a true smarty-pants! We have introduced tack and a rider’s weight, taking things slowly as he still has some weight and muscle to gain over his back. He has been an absolute gem about everything. He is getting used to the flag work and connects very well…

May 21st is ā€œGive Your Former Stallion a Bathā€ Day

Here’s Dr Hannah, teaching Anderson the joys of bathing on a warm day in late Spring! This was a great learning moment for our former wild stallion…and as it turned out, a learning moment for all of us as well. Although Anderson had been checked carefully for lice…
