Zan videos from Jan 8 2011

Jamie took some video of us riding. She does give a small buck/kick out going into the canter. She’s had over 60 days of professional training but *is* still green. Also, she has had over a month off. As you’ll see, canter was easier to the right than the left. She’s…

Zan Update from Jan 8 2011

Zan’s thread just does not reflect what a little gem she is. It’s been a dark icky winter so far and I have not been as motivated, as I should be, but the weather was crappy in the mountains and I was up early this morning (and bailed on riding last night) so I…

Bucky B Lucky: a TV Star!

January 5th was an exciting day for SAFE and Bucky B Lucky. A few weeks ago, we were contacted by a reporter named Jenny Cunningham from KCTS‑9  (the Seattle PBS television station). She told us that she was working on a story about what happens to racehorses once…

Honeycutt Update from Jan 5 2011

Yesterday Honeycutt was moved back to Silverdale to once again live with our VP Bonnie at her farm over in Silverdale. Honeycutt lived there for over two years previously so this is a bit of a homecoming for both of them, although still temporary. She reported that…

Buckwheat Update from Dec 26 2010

It has been quite a while since I posted about Bucky. He’s full of energy and seems to be enjoying himself. He is a real cutie! He’s always escorting me to his stall when I come down to feed in the evenings, and he has very good barn manners. I had his ACTH re-tested…

Summer Update from Dec 26 2010

Summer is doing well. She continues to be on pergolide, but she’s doing well at 1mg. Her coat is slightly longer and thicker than last year but I think that’s more a reflection of the kind of winter we’re supposed to have. She’s holding her weight and is continuing to…

Aiden Update from Dec 19 2010

Aiden update!! Thanks Peggy!! Just letting you know baby Aiden is doing great, the ā€œherdā€ has let him back in and he cuddles the mare all the time.. he did not know what to do when she was in heat, I looked out one day and he had her tail in his mouth and was pulling…

Bubbles & Lola Update from Dec 19 2010

Bubbles and Lola are at a wonderful foster home together and they are doing terrific! Here’s an update from their foster mom: The girls are doing well and are happy. Bubbles is getting better with her blanket being taken on/off and they both have improved on being…

So far is SO good for Ben!

Some horses just have that sparkle in their eye from the moment they arrive at SAFE. Within the abused or neglected body is a personality that’s just waiting for the energy and life to come back. Since the day he arrived at Safe Harbor, Ben has been one of those great…

A Real Einstein

As we’ve gotten to know Einstein better, we’ve come to understand that he’s a pretty amazing horse. When he first arrived at Safe Harbor, after three weeks in Animal Control custody, he was pretty unsure about just about everything, so he spent his first few days…

New shoes for Phoenix

A pair of new glue-on shoes have really helped Phoenix’s tender toes! And look how well-behaved he was for his hoof preparation! He knew that farrier Jake Cowden was not going to hurt him. He’s such a sweet and trusting horse. So far he seems to be a lot more…

Sweet Relief for Annabelle

Before her rescue, Annabelle had not had proper hoof care for some time. Her hooves were terribly overgrown and split, making movement quite uncomfortable for her. Dr Hannah gave her a preliminary trim while she was at NWESC, but today she got a full and proper trim…
