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…
Annie Update from Aug 24 2009
Annie did just fabulous at the show! She surprised us all by being just cool as a cucumber with all the activity in the arena! I was really proud of her, our little wild child has grown up! Of course, she had to remind us just how sensitive our little drama queen can…
Sinatra Update from Aug 24 2009
Sinatra was among several SAFE horses who competed at the 3rd Annual SAFE Benefit Horse Show. He was a superstar at the show, and even won a blue ribbon in the Halter class for the Rescue Horse division. I talked to our judge, Leslie Killpatrick, over email, and told…
Buckwheat Update from Aug 5 2009 and Aug 20 2009
Due to some health problems in Bucky’s adoptive family, Buckwheat’s adopters are going to sadly have to sell their farm and Bucky is in need of a new home. This sweet guy is still quite ridable and sound and is free to an approved home. If not adopted, he will be…
Annie Update from Aug 16 2009
Update from Kyle: I worked with Annie today for the first time in a few months. The people who have been working with her have been doing a great job. I think Annie has really turned a corner. She was easy to handle, didn’t have any major overreactions, and worked…
Sinatra Update from Aug 16 2009
Sinatra got a beauty treatment today! Allison and I gave him a bath and scrubbed him within an inch of his life. He wasn’t so sure about it at first but then he did great! We gave him a bridle path, combed out his mane and tail, and then took some conformation shots…
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!
Chip makes new friends
Here’s Chip, making some new friends and behaving like a perfect gentleman around the young 10yr old that was grooming him. He would make a great companion horse for another gelding. Low man in the order so he doesn’t try to dominate other horses. Since he was a…
Lola at the Show!
Terry and Lola, with vital assistance from Heather, went to the Hollywood Hills Schooling Show this past weekend. It was Lola’s first horse show outing since Terry has started working with her, and she was a great girl! The pair competed in Walk/Jog and…
Someone is feeling better…
