Annie being ridden by dressage trainer Vivian Doolittle and by a novice rider (Robbi):
Whisper Update — June 14, 2009
Visited Whisper today, and wow! She looks amazing! She has grown a lot in height (she was 13.3 a few months ago, and I sticked her today at 14.2 at the wither and 15h at the butt — she is going to end up a good sized horse I think!). She also has filled out a…
Summer Update from June 4 2009
Update from Summer’s foster mom, Brenda: Summer is doing great I just love this mare. She needs a job with young horses teaching them the ropes. Figi has learned so much from her. I will have to get a video of Summer teaching Figi about personal space and making her…
Sasha — May 31, 2009
Sasha is doing well, I had my husband take some video of us lunging. I decided not to put her saddle, bridle, and side reins on today since it was so warm and I just wanted to give her little bit of exercise. She had gone lame in her rear legs about 2–3 weeks ago and…
Lola Update from May 31 2009
While Aiden was getting castrated, Lola got some attention from adoring fans. You can see she was soaking it up!
Aiden Update from May 30 2009
Aiden got gelded today and everything went perfectly. He went down easily, got up easily, a very smooth castration.
Babies in the Field
Sinatra was The Older Brother, of sorts, on the baby pature this weekend but I certainly will not call him the mature voice of reason…he was up to lots of antics including removing his younger friends’ masks and nipping and getting in everyone else’s business (which…
Annie Update from May 26 2009
A few photos of Annie today, with a friend of mine who used to train dressage (Vivian Doolittle) and who is volunteering her time to help us. Annie hasn’t been worked in over a month but she was a very good girl (even for having her back feet picked!). She got a…

Skittles Training Update
Skittles did very well on the trail ride Sunday. She is very brave, liked to lead, and had a go button. Overall she stayed calm and listened well. She would have loved to run up the hills but I was able to keep her at a walk. She was fine with the other horses too. I…
Ruby Red
Ruby is a lucky horse who has an entire community behind her, pulling for her recovery! She got a visit today from one of her major benefactors, SAFE supporter Bernice S, who spent some time with our girl in the company of SAFE president Debi Shatos. Debi reports that…
Good news for Jewel?
Dr King of Pilchuck Vet Hospital came out to SHS and donated her time to give lameness exams to some of the SAFE horses. We asked her to take a look at Miss Jewel, and her assessment of Jewel’s crooked leg was not half bad. In fact, she told us she’s seen perfectly…
Time off for Oscar
Oscar has been showing some front end lameness since his return to SAFE. This lameness, which appears to be in his right front leg, isn’t noticeable at the beginning of a ride, but seems to get progressively worse as he is exercised. Dr King of Pilchuck Veterinary…
Trail Ride!
Volunteer Sara E rode Kat on a trail ride this weekend along with Terry and Skittles. Sara was able to compare this ride with one she and Kat went on a year ago. Not only does Kat know Sara better now and trusts her, she is also clearly feeling much better in her own…
Dottie and Eve
Lovely photos taken today of Dottie with her best friend Eve!
