Annie Update from Nov 14 2009
I rode Annie in a lesson with Andrea Lucianna and she was sooo good!! She is a bit of a spaz in the crossties, walking all over and she pulled back once; but once you get on she is all business. We w/t/c both directions and worked on getting her to lengthen, which she…
Summer Update from Nov 7 2009
I wanted to give everyone a quick update on Summer. We’ve been fostering Summer for the last six weeks and she’s doing really well. We lost our wonderful 29 year old TWH mare, Abby, in mid September, which left our Mac as an “only” horse. Mac is 30, and he’d never…
Deeds Update from Nov 4 2009
Due to financial issues, life changes and an upcoming move, Deeds is looking for a new home. SAFE will be helping his current adopter find him a new home from his current location in Bellingham. If he does not find a home by spring, he will need to be returned to SAFE.
Aiden Update from Nov 2 2009
Aiden moved to Duvall this weekend to be fostered with Amy who previously fostered Whisper and Benny. He is such a sweet little boy, fine to catch now and very mellow and laid back. He walked right in the trailer, hauled like a pro, stepped off the trailer and walked…
Holly Update — Oct 24, 2009
Update from Holly’s adopter: Holly is doing awesome!! She is being ridden several times a week. Even after my accident I made sure I found someone to keep Holly’s training going. She loves to learn so was easy to train. One catch is that she will carry a bit but it’s…

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…
Pretty girl!
Thank you to Jessica F for sharing this photo from our August open house!!
Bridgit is growing up!
We checked in recently with SAFE horse Bridgit to see how she is progressing in her preparation for training as a saddle horse. Bridgit has been in a foster home for the past year to give her a little time to grow and mature. Her foster mom had some wonderful things…
Our Dottie Belle
We’re quite happy to report that we haven’t had any more colic scares from our dear Dottie recently. Since completing Gastrogard therapy, she’s doing great on a product called Smart Gut and a few other digestive supplements. She gets a mash twice a day made of…
Ruby — Before and After
Ruby is having a great summer living out in pasture at her foster home. Her foster mom, Jackie, calls Ruby a very sweet girl who is friendly, curious and loves attention. Jackie says she wishes she could let her in the house so they could watch chick flicks and snack…
Catching up with Karma
The new girl, Karma, was taken straight to NWESC after we picked her up from Pierce County Animal Control. We were concerned about some edema on her chest and belly, as well as the slightly snotty nose she was exhibiting. Since NWESC is better set up to quarantine a…
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…
