Lucky Update from Oct 16, 2010
I rode Lucky today for the first time. We would have been on him sooner but he was pretty sore on his feet until we finally put front shoes and pads on him, and then we couldnāt seem to go a day without him pulling one of them. But we have them back on, plus bellā¦
Holly Update ā Oct 1, 2010
Update from Hollyās adopter: I brought Holly home today from her month at the ranch. She was happy to be home. While there Portia worked on getting her to pick up her shoulders and balance herself. The canter work and transitions were another thing they worked on.ā¦
Baxter Update from Sept 30 2010
I worked with Baxter again last night. I think Jaimeās got him totally fixed now because both times Iāve worked with him he was Mr. Easytocatch. That said, heās not exactly a snuggly horseā¦ he just has an air about him that heās waiting for you to be mean to him. Heā¦
Baxter Update from Sept 26 2010
Update from Sara: I rode Baxter in a lesson today. Like Dexter, he doesnāt know much (and is somewhat nervous about whips & crops). Butā¦ heās willing to try and quite fun to ride (big, comfy trot!). Heās not very fit right now (which is understandable consideringā¦

Deeds Update from Sept 21 2010
Many thanks to Sheridan Jones who has arranged for Deeds to spend a month in training with Kim Gately! Sheridan felt that Deeds could use a little refresher on his manners. Weāre also hoping to get Kimās opinion on what type of job Deeds might be suitable for, givenā¦
Baxter Update from Sept 20 2010
Baxter left a month ago for a 3 month foster-to-adopt trial down in Spanaway with a local 4H leader. Heās looking fabulous and while still green, going well under saddle. He had also gotten a lot less aggressive towards neighboring horses so we were hopeful that itā¦
It gets better
Howās this for an amazing transformation? On the left, Rocky at intake, Sept 2014. On the right, Rocky today. Heās come so far and overcome so much, but Rocky is still very, very unsure about people, especially strangers. Weāre looking at bringing him back to Safeā¦
