Whisper Update — January 5, 2009
From Bonnie: a little birdie just told me that Whisper is on her way home this afternoon!! We have received a tremendous amount of support for Whisper’s care, and it is thanks to all of you that we were able to send her to Pilchuck when she needed to be sent there.…

Aiden Update from Jan 4, 2009
Aiden is the sweetest little colt! Little Lola is a spitfire…she’s got lots of attitude especially when food is near and her little ears will go flat back (but she doesn’t do anything except try to look mean, which is really just cute). Aiden on the other hand, is…
Whisper Update — January 4, 2009
I have the MOST excellent news from Pilchuck! Whisper got herself up, all on her own, THREE times yesterday! We are giving her one more day and if she continues to do well, we plan on bringing her home tomorrow!
Whisper Update — January 2, 2009
From Laura: I went to see Whisper today at 11:30. She was standing up, and munching on her hay. The little Miss was very bright eyed, and met me at the stall door. (She must have known that I was accompanied by an apple.) After she ate her apple, she promptly…
Lola Update from Jan 1, 2009
Here’s photos of the possible Lola taken today. Sorry for the too-big halter, that’s a yearling halter, going to have to pull out the foal halters, she’s tiny! She’s very weak and wobbly on her hind end, and stocked up behind, as you can see: …
Aiden Background and History
Aiden was surrendered by his owner to SAFE with encouragement from Animal Control. He is about 8 months old, chestnut with a blanket (I think — need to recheck) and a star, Appaloosa colt. He’s in extremely poor condition, with a BCS of about a 1.5–2.0, and is covered…
Whisper Update — January 1, 2009
From Monica Bretherton: I too got to visit Ms. Whisper today. http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/horsebytes/archives/158317.asp Forget champagne, New Year’s from now on will be about the sweet smell of alfalfa! Met, Whisper was up and eating, so there was no need for…
Lola Background & History
New arrival at SAFE. Due to the fact that this is an open neglect case, I cannot provide many details at this time. This filly was surrendered by her owner to SAFE with encouragement from Animal Control. She is about 8 months old, black with a blanket, by an Appaloosa…

Volunteer Rider Report: Kat and Erica B
Erica is a SAFE volunteer who rides Kat on a regular basis. She had this to say about her work with Kat: I have now been riding Kat since December, and the most notable points for me have been her willingness to work, and her demeanor. Kat hasn’t ever seemed…

Skye will soon be making the move to her next phase of training, when she heads up to Half Trak Farm to start work with Andrea. She’s spent the past three months at Lake Tapps Equestrian Center, where Team Zanotelli was able to use the covered arena to continue her…
Skittles Training Report, January 2014
Skittles is very sweet and easy to be around and groom. She has some pushy behaviors when asked to move and yield her front shoulders. She carries her head high and is tight over her back. After her arrival at SAFE, we gave her time to settle in, followed by ground…
Volunteer Rider Report: Kat and Sara E
Sara E is a SAFE volunteer who has been riding Kat on a regular basis. She had this to say about her work with Kat: I first met Kat when I first started volunteering with SAFE and was doing night feeding. Truthfully I wasn’t impressed, she was standoffish and a little…
Kai – a Master of Socrates
Can’t help but love this big hunk…somewhat distant exterior, but a heart of gold underneath for the right person, and, if you work for it, tons of easily offended dignity. He is the type that really doesn’t like to be laughed at or have his many ideas dismissed or…
