Annie Update from Dec 31 2009
Update from Allison: I rode Annie again yesterday and she was good. She is still a handful on the ground but resonds very well to verbal corrections. She continues to go well under-saddle, tho she still needs work in the canter. She has a tendancy to cross-canter but…

Summer Update from Dec 30 2009
I recieved an email today from Summer’s former owner, which answers most of our questions about Summer’s history before Jean: I owned Impromptu as a younger mare as well as her daughter Paprika’s Mark. I was horrified to hear and read of her life the last decade. I…
Baxter Update from Dec 19–20, 2009
Dec 19 Baxter had been doing so well, too well…I guess. I should know that with a horse in this bad of shape there are going to be ups and downs, and today we had our first down — a mild gas colic. I just started him on a small amount of beet pulp last night and…
Lola Update from Dec 16 2009
Wish I had had my video camera handy this afternoon. I went out to the back pasture to look for one of Rolo’s shoes that he pulled and Lola and Sinatra started racing each other around the entire perimeter of the pasture, then back into their paddock, and then back…
Annie Update from Dec 13 2009
The trot picture is from before I listened to Andrea and just gave Annie her release. I have issues trusting her under saddle because she is such a freak on the ground so I tend to hold onto her mouth, alebit it lightly, but still holding just in case she does…
Baxter Update from Dec 12, 2009
Baxter is doing really well. He’s sure spunky! He’s been getting turned out in one of the paddocks and he trots around especially if he sees me coming with food. He’s up to about 3–4 flakes of hay a day now and scarfing everything we put in front of him. He got wormed…
Dexter Update from Dec 12, 2009
Dexter had a little mini training session today with our trainer, who came down to teach some lessons. He did great! She put a bridle and saddle on him (which he didn’t care about at all) and lunged him a bit. He was a bit nervous about being lunged (probably been…
Instant Karma
Since coming to Safe Harbor, Karma has gone through some very positive transformations. It took her a little while to relax and settle in, but with the help of Terry and her volunteers, she’s making great progress. For example, she initially was very reluctant to…
Portland is home
We couldn’t be happier to announce that Portland has been adopted and one of his new friends is an old friend of SAFE. Portland found his forever home with the person who adopted Goliath from SAFE back in 2010. He now resides on a lovely 10 acre horse property on…
First ride on Emmy
They can’t always tell you what they know…so sometimes you just have to climb aboard and see what happens! Emmy came with no history, no background, but in the time she’s been with us, she’s proven to be kind, smart, and brave. Yesterday Terry climbed carefully into…
Misty Video Sept 2014
Hello, Mr Chip!
Chip has been enjoying a lovely stay in foster, but this weekend, he returned to Safe Harbor to start training with Terry. We don’t think Chip’s been ridden much, if at all, so we’ll be starting with ground work training and go from there. It’s our hope that we can…
First Day of School
Yesterday was a big day for Mr Curly Pants: he left his foster home, where he’s spent the last 6 months, and headed off to officially start his training. He’ll be spending the next three months with trainer Matt Olson, who will work with Owen in hand and then start…
