Sinatra Update from June 3 2010

Update from Sundance Equestrian: Sinatra has continued to enjoy his time off. He is so quiet you hardly know he is there sometimes and he is just waiting to get his feet trimmed so he is good to go. We are going to test him out on the line again and see if he is…

Zanadu Background & History

Zan is a 5 year old unregistered chestnut paint/pinto mare surrendered to SAFE by her owners due to financial distress. Zan was previously rescued from a feedlot in Eastern WA (not sure if it was CBER, if anyone recognizes her, please let me know!). It was some time…

Bubbles — Background & History

Bubbles was a surprise to the Oregon woman who rescued her dam from a bad situation. And not only was she not in a position to care for an extra horse, she had physical limitations that prevented her from giving the youngster the handling she needed. In May 2010, the…

Lola Update from May 27 2010

And a little update on Lola, who’s also been out here at KCJ Stables since mid-April. We are loving having her and Jasmine here. They share a pasture off the back of the owner’s house and as weā€ve mentioned over on Jasmine’s thread, he’s got a special love for…

Delilah Update from May 25, 2010

Delilah did end up getting her teeth done today, and we figured out a way to do it with Sampson by doing it just outside the fence where he could still see and touch her and he was perfectly fine with that. She had quite a few sharp points and also one small wolf…

Honeycutt Update from May 17 2010

I always hoped that some day I could come to this board and announce that I had adopted Honeycutt.…but financial concerns made me hesitate to take on the long term responsibility of another horse. I’m very sad to say that I have made the decision instead to sell my…

Buckwheat Update from May 16 2010

Foster Home Update: I wanted to update everyone on how Bucky is doing. He is just so darn adorable! He and Summer are doing very well together. When he first arrived, they were getting along but tended to be a little independent. Now more often than not they are…

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…

Ben has a sweet spot…

…and Steph knows right where it is! This is a happy horse.   Ben is steadily gaining weight and winning the hearts of our volunteers! He is a sweet boy and very smart and willing to work. We are just lightly working him at liberty and adding a little bit of…

Congratulations to our first Volunteer of the Month for 2015…Lisa Garr!! Lisa began volunteering in February of last year, starting with a weekly chore shift and then promptly added a second shift. It wasn’t too long before Terry saw what an asset Lisa could be for…

A rough month for Lola…

Lola has had a difficult month. She was becoming sour to work at the trot and canter about 4 weeks ago and we starting to question the saddle fit, other things that might be causing her discomfort and possible behavioral issues. She had been going so well this change…

Bridgit training update from Kim Lacy

From trainer Kim Lacy: ā€œBridgit is doing well. She’s very sensible, she just has a lot of energy. Now that we are doing more ā€œworkā€ she is better focused. The biggest issue with her right now is she is pretty weak in her hind end and over her back and she does get…
