Lola Update from May 25, 2009
Lola is ready to be offered for adoption. She has made such a turnaround since I last saw her and not just because she has grown and shed her nasty coat. Gone is the little filly with the ‘tude, she is a total sweetheart now! Allison and I were able to groom her head…
Aiden Update from May 25, 2009
Aiden has turned out so beautiful! He is almost all shedded out and his head is really very refined for an Appaloosa. I am beginning to wonder if he is purebred — he also has a lot of mane and tail compared to the rest of the Appaloosas he was with who were all…
Sinatra Update from May 10 2009
Very funny Sinatra story from the day before yesterday. Sinatra and Benny were doing their “bite each other’s blanket” game and having lots of fun. And then Sinatra reared up and put his front feet over Benny. Benny started to walk off, and Sinatra just walked along…
Whisper Update — May 5, 2009
From Laura: Update on Whisper’s case: Although we asked for at least 2 Counts of Animal Cruelty against Whisper’s previous owner, we learned today that Snohomish County has charged her with 1 Count of Animal Cruelty. A bit disheartening, to say the least, but at least…

Holly Update — April 28, 2009 — First Ride!
Update from Holly’s adopter: Holly had a big day today. She got her feet trimmed then it was to the round pen for some fun. Julie came over and we showed off how much Holly has learned, including wearing her saddle. Then Julie hopped on Holly and they went for Holly’s…

Phoenix in Rehab
Here’s volunteer Stephanie riding Phoenix during his rehab session yesterday at Safe Harbor! As of this week, Phoenix is now being walked up to 30 minutes per day. Happily he’s being a wonderfully well behaved gentleman for his rehab…not to mention stunningly…
We named her Grace
Many of our supporters have asked for more detail about what happened to Ruby’s foal. If you missed the beginning of the story, you can read it here. Another busy Saturday night at NWESC had Dr. Hannah Mueller caring for her patients. She passed Ruby’s stall to see…
Saddle? No problem!
Mr Finn was a superstar yesterday! He wore a saddle for the first time since coming to SAFE and was completely unfazed by the experience. Terry says was a perfect gentleman! Way to go, Finn!! As we’ve mentioned before, when we took Finn on as a SAFE horse, we were…
Happy saddle day, Sapphire!
Sapphire wore a saddle for the first time today as a SAFE horse, and she was a champ! Terry was even able to lay across her back and have a volunteer lead her around the arena for a few steps. Great work, Sapphy!!
The Alpaca Gauntlet
Kat, Skittles, and Lola went out for a walk today to see the alpacas, who live right down the street from Safe Harbor Stables. We’re located pretty close to the Tolt Pipeline trail, but to get to the trail, you have pass by the alpaca gauntlet. Some of the horses find…
Groundwork for the win!
When Oscar was returned to SAFE in December, it took nearly two hours to load him into the trailer. As Terry remarked not long after meeting him for the first time, getting the respect of this feisty little gelding would be her first priority. “He is very sweet on the…
