Whisper — Update on her case
The gal that surrendered Whisper (Rose and Skye) to the City of Snohomish was found GUILTY of 1 Count of Cruelty to Animals in the First Degree. Not quite everything she deserves, especially since a fourth horse died in her care, but at least it’s something.…
Dory Update — Sept 3, 2009
Pending Adoption!
Buckwheat Update from Sept 1 2009
Poor Buckwheat. His ACTH results came back…normal for this time of year is around 21–53, his was at 164, so quite elevated and definitively Cushings. Well I guess it is a good thing that his adopters could no longer keep him so we can now get him the care he needs!…
Annie Update from Aug 30 2009
Annie looking beautiful today. Sarah was really working with her to get her to lengthen her frame a bit, she wants to travel very bottled up or very behind the vertical. She finally got her to do a little better and I was snapping up lots of photos. I got so many good…
Buckwheat Update from Aug 29 2009
Bucky is settling in here at the farm. This week has been a busy week for him, as he got wormed, his feet trimmed, his teeth floated, vaccinated and and overall health check. We were pretty concerned about Bucky when we got him back because he is thin and also did not…
Biscotti — Aug 24, 2009 — SAFE Horse Show
Monica did a great job preparing Scotti for the show and he did so well! He didn’t much like being stalled, and tried a few times to climb his way out (Naughty Scotti!) but when he was out and about he was SUCH a good boy!
Dory — SAFE Benefit Horse Show, Aug 24, 2009
Dory did great at the show! She was a little vocal in the showmanship class but settled down as the day wore on and stayed very manageable even when she was nervous. Susan Hammon from Cowgirl Spirit graciously stepped in to help with handling Dory in Showmanship and…
Thank you, farrier Jake Cowden!
We’re starting to understand Finn’s lameness issues a little better, thanks to Dr King who has determined that Finn a few hoof related problems going on. He does have chronic laminitis, but that does not appear to be the cause of the lameness we’ve seen. The lameness…
The way to Stella’s heart
Here’s SAFE volunteer Lisa doing some expert scratching on the (formerly) shy Stella. Apparently the way to this sweet mare’s heart is through her withers!
Who doesn’t love a happy ending?
Here are SAFE we are so fortunate to have some great equine professionals on our team! Take for instance, Kim Lacy. Kim is a dressage trainer and rider who specializes in the Arabian breed. She is quite active on both the local Arab show circuit as well as in…
Kat’s found her person!
We’ve said all along that Kat was a one-woman horse. After all, Kat isn’t the type to give her heart away to just anyone. She’s not the sort of girl who has hundreds of casual acquaintances. But she is the sort who is a friend to the end, once she decides to let you…
Pictures of Stella
I had a chance to visit with Stella and Terry today. Stella is the prettiest little thing!
Stella’s education begins…
Terry has started working with Stella at liberty in the arena, giving her the chance to stretch her legs and learn a thing or two about approaching people. Fortunately she loves scritches, and that makes this introduction period a lot easier!
