Lexi Update from June 27 2009
Well today was the big video day for Lexi. And wow! I know its always exciting seeing these horses under saddle for the first time, but with Lexi it was even cooler, because the change to her FEET with the shoes has been amazing! She almost looks normal! Just thatā¦
Lexi Update from June 25 2009
Lexiās training is coming along very well. Like Rhythm, she is also now walking and trotting around the big arena under saddle. We also, after much discussion and getting Dr. Hannahās blessing, put front shoes on Lexi as she seemed like she was getting footsore. Sheā¦
Lexi Update from June 3 2009
Lexi has also progressed to having a rider leaning over her back at a walk. Sheās a little more nervous with Rhythm and hence a little behind him but coming along nicely as well.
Lexi Update from May 29 2009
Lexi is doing well in her first couple of weeks in training. She has learned to cross-tie, lunge, get baths, and is wearing a saddle and bridle. She wasnāt thrilled with the bit at first (was trying to spit it out) and bucked the second time she was saddled but hasā¦
Lexi Update from Sept 30 2008
I visited Lexi this past weekend and she is still chunky and is getting her fuzzy winter coat which does nothing to help her look slimmer. She spends her days in a pasture with Rhythm and Willy a QH gelding. She is still very sweet, but preferred to graze overā¦
Lexi Update from July 29 2008
Here are some photos of Lexi from last July. Sheās doing great (although a bit on the tubby side), although she did have an abcess a few weeks ago (sheās fine now).
Lexi Update from June 28 2008
Lexi was seen by Dr. Hannah yesterday to evaluate her soundness and ability to be started under saddle. We had xrays taken in 2005 and then again this spring by NW Equine for comparison purposes. Armed with her xrays, Dr. Hannah did flexion tests, trotted her inā¦

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 outā¦
Training & Heath Update: Sapphire
Since last fall, our āArabian 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.ā¦
Training Update: Einstein
Einstein is a true smarty-pants! We have introduced tack and a riderās 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 wellā¦
May 21st is āGive Your Former Stallion a Bathā Day
Hereās 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 stallionā¦and as it turned out, a learning moment for all of us as well. Although Anderson had been checked carefully for liceā¦
Training Update: Karma
It has been a few weeks of firsts for Karma: her first time jumping all the way into the trailer, her first trail ride as a SAFE horse, and her very first show! Trailer loading has been a challenge for Karma since the day we picked her up but we have had an amazingā¦
Stella!!!!!!!
Baby girl is back at Safe Harbor! I would say that we missed her but Iām not sure the neighbors were too happy she was home. She spent the first two days (and nights) calling for her bestie Jewel, who was stalled in the other barn. It was a bit of an adjustment beingā¦
