Baxter Update from Oct 23 2010
Saraās been working through a few forward issues with Baxterā¦heās been doing a little bucking at being asked to go forward. I got him last night and worked through some of it, and today she had a very good lesson on him. He tends to be a little sulky about having aā¦

Zan Update from Oct 17, 2010
Zan has turned out to be a really super riding horse. Our trainer reports she is super cute under saddle, with a really pretty trot, naturally on the bit, very sweet. Sheās solid walk/trot/canter now and while in training, she caught the eye of a young girl that takesā¦
Lucky Update from Oct 16, 2010
I rode Lucky today for the first time. We would have been on him sooner but he was pretty sore on his feet until we finally put front shoes and pads on him, and then we couldnāt seem to go a day without him pulling one of them. But we have them back on, plus bellā¦
Holly Update ā Oct 1, 2010
Update from Hollyās adopter: I brought Holly home today from her month at the ranch. She was happy to be home. While there Portia worked on getting her to pick up her shoulders and balance herself. The canter work and transitions were another thing they worked on.ā¦
Baxter Update from Sept 30 2010
I worked with Baxter again last night. I think Jaimeās got him totally fixed now because both times Iāve worked with him he was Mr. Easytocatch. That said, heās not exactly a snuggly horseā¦ he just has an air about him that heās waiting for you to be mean to him. Heā¦
Baxter Update from Sept 26 2010
Update from Sara: I rode Baxter in a lesson today. Like Dexter, he doesnāt know much (and is somewhat nervous about whips & crops). Butā¦ heās willing to try and quite fun to ride (big, comfy trot!). Heās not very fit right now (which is understandable consideringā¦

Lucky in Love
Obviously, adoptions are special to usā¦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 adoptionā¦

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 styleā¦
March training update: Misty!
Misty is going very well for her volunteer riders. She is working on good ground manners and we have had little to no problems managing her behavior at Safe Harbor. She did have an allergic reaction a few weeks ago to what we could only guess was a bee sting. Itā¦
