Biscotti — Oct 19, 2009
*sigh*…another emergency vet bill tonight. My fault — the horses came off the pastures about a week ago. I’ve been rotating them in turnout out onto the smaller grass pastures I let grow the last few months so they all get a little grass time a couple of times a…
Sasha — Oct 13, 2009
From Megan: Sasha update: Vet did a block on her right rear leg and confirmed the issue is her rear suspensories, let’s hope it’s not degenerative. She is on unlimited hand walking & stall/paddock rest for two months, then we can begin riding her at the walk or 10…
Buckwheat Update from Oct 5 2009
Bucky is ready for adoption! He’s at a good weight and UTD on everything, and his winter coat that is growing in looks normal and healthy now that he is on the Cushings medication. I found him a very fun, smooth ride but he is a bit barn sour and probably best suited…
Sasha — Oct 2, 2009
From Megan: Good Morning- I wanted to post a quick update on Sasha (sorry it’s been so long!). She’s currently on hold with her training as she’s had some lameness issue with her hind end. Originally Tacoma Equine thought it was a stifle issue, but Dr. Sara Owens is…
Dory Update — Oct 1, 2009
Dory left today <sniff, sniff>. She of course was a perfect angel about getting in the trailer. The hauler went on and on about how nice she was!
Buckwheat Update from Sept 26 2009
Well, Bucky sure gave us a surprise today! His weight is looking great, no more ribs, and he’s now wasting half of his mush so I’ve had to cut him back. Allison and Katie decided to take him out and saddle him up and see how he did. He was great for tacking up…he’s…
Dory Update — Sept 21, 2009
I am very pleased to announce that Dory’s adoption has been approved! We are just working on finalizing when she will leave for her new home. Dory’s adopter is one of our wonderful volunteers named Betsy who has been helping out at my place for several months. Dory…
The joy of Cameo
What a joy this little mare is becoming! I had some really lovely quiet rides on Cameo this month. She can still be quite the four year old handful but she has a new peace about her and ground work is helping her find that more and more. Once she gets rid of the…
Great news about Phoenix!
Handsome Phoenix — lovingly referred to by his friends at SAFE as our overgrown golden retriever puppy — is staying sound and happy in his rehab. As you know, he was diagnosed with a left front high suspensory tear in January. As far as we could put together, this…
Finn Update
As we talked about in his last update, Finn needed some special treatment and thanks to Jake Cowden, he has been able to get the shoes he needs to feel great. We gave him a few weeks after the first set of shoes to getting used to moving in them. When we trotted him…
Emmy update!
Emmy has been a rock star for everything I have introduced to her. She’s been doing well with ground work, lunging over trot poles, bathing, spray bottles, wearing a saddle with a girth, and bridling and taking the bit. She is also very well behaved in turnout with…
SAFE Alumni at the SAFE Show!
It was so delightful to have six former SAFE horses come out to compete at this year’s SAFE show. We love nothing more than seeing our old friends again, and nothing beats seeing them shine in the show ring! Thanks to these lovely photos by Karen Wegehenkel, you can…
From the Horse’s Mouth: Adoption? Do you know that thing?
Hello to all my friends! I have something wonderful to share with you, but first I have a question to ask: Adoption — do you know this thing? Adoption is when someone says “Oh horse! Please come to my home and live there forever. There will be lovely hays and tasty,…
