Annie Update from Feb 5 2009
Update from Allison: So I took Annie out for a thorough grooming session the other day, and I could not believe this was the same horse!!!!!! At first, she was a little jiggy, like “what are we doing, why is there no wall behind me”, but she quickly relaxed and…
Whisper Update — February 5, 2009
From Monica: Ok, the camera adds ten pounds…at least I hope it was the camera:-) I tried not to cry, but that sweet Whisper has a way of getting into the hearts of those who have had the priviledge of working with her. I swear I had many profound statements on…
Summer Update from Feb 4 2009
Summer gets a haircut! She is such a nice horse. I have never had a problem catching her and today she did not even blink at the clippers and let me clip her with out moving.
Summer Update from Feb 2 2009 and Feb 4 2009
I promise I wont always post so many pictures but she is just so dang sweet. She is already warming up to us. Here she is with my boys. Summer is doing great. She is eating good and her and Figi are getting along just great. Summer…
Deeds Update from Feb 1 2009
Update from Deeds’ Adopter: So… Mr. Deeds got to be our model this wednesday! We had some reps out to my work to demonstrate a very fancy digital xray machine. Since my vet knew that i was planning on rechecking Deed’s enlarged fetlock and suspensory, he asked if i…
Annie Update from Jan 30 2009
Annie is also wrapping up her training and coming back to Monroe this weekend, where hopefully we can find enough volunteers to keep her going until she finds a home! In the last couple of weeks Annie has also made huge strides in her training. While she will always…

Summer Update from Jan 26 2009
Summer came home from Laura’s on Saturday, just in time for our little mini-snowstorm. I had her in a stall and I turned her out in the arena with Cedar yesterday for some turnout time. WOW did she play hard! I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own…

Trailer Training with Phoenix
Getting Phoenix loaded into a trailer for the trip back to SAFE last fall was an experience that many of us shudder to remember. So now that we have the ability to safely secure the SAFE trailer in our outdoor arena, many of the horses are getting trailer training as…
Owen’s Story
This is Owen, a 6 year old American Curly stallion who was surrendered to SAFE by his owner. He’s a handsome young horse, healthy and sound, and he seems bright, curious, and smart. He’s also 6 years old and completely unhandled, not even halter broken. He doesn’t…
Skittles at the Open House
Skittles had the opportunity to let her sweet personality shine during this past weekend’s Open House. She was the official greeter in the main barn, and she was completely charming.
March training notes: Skittles
Skittles is going very well under saddle in both walk and trot. She has shown on two different occasions that she is a very level headed horse by not overreacting to noises or other horses acting up in turnout next to the arena while she was being riden. I wouldn’t…
March training notes: Oscar
Oscar has been pulled from the Volunteer Rider program for now, due to resistance moving forward and some kicking/bucking at the leg. Saddle fit is an issue—he’s very sensitive to the saddle rocking on his withers. We have been working on his grumpy reaction when…
March training notes: Finn
Finn is such a nice horse! He’s happy just to have his halter put on and be taken for a walk – he loves interaction and physical contact. Loves to be loved on! We set him loose in the arena, and he had lots of pent-up energy to burn. He ran around and around, kicking…
