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.…

Let’s not forget Oscar!
Oscar, if you recall, was returned to SAFE by his adopter, having regressed a great deal from the horse he was behavior-wise when he was adopted. After his return, we started noticing some lameness in his front right leg. Dr King of Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital…
Good News about Phoenix!
We are excited as to how well Phoenix’s recovery has progressed! We are now riding him daily for about 45 mins of walk and trot work along straight lines, and he has remained sound through it all! Our next steps include introducing turnout in a small pasture; trotting…
Video: Lucky Under Saddle
Lucky is going beautifully under saddle! He has strengthened over his top line and built up a good amount of muscle over his back. He is holding a nice self carriage and has an easy walk, trot, and canter. Lucky is ready to show First Level dressage this year and and…
New shoes for Cameo
We have been working with farrier Jake Cowden to help Cameo’s club foot by adding shoes. We’ve been making very slow and subtle changes to her hooves, but already we are seeing signs of improvement. She is striding better in the front with lots more toe flip instead…
Finn, Making Progress
I have been riding Finn for about a month now. He is a gentleman for tacking up, he stands for mounting and dismounting, walks off and halts when asked and yields his hindquarters and shoulders from both the leg or guiding reins. He is comfortable at the walk but has…
