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…
Biscotti — Aug 15, 2009
Found some cute pictures from earlier this spring: Scotti: “Hey guys, stop sleeping and come play with me!” Lola: “Snore.” Aiden: “zzzz” Scotti: “If you don’t get up, I’m going to bite you!” Lola: “Hey now!” Aiden: “zzzz” Scotti: “You asked for it!” <chomp>…
Sasha — Aug 15, 2009
From Megan: Good Evening- Here’s some new video of Sasha. I got her papers in the mail last week–she is officially “Sashana Bint Snowlion,” last daughter of Snowlion RSI (see http://www.ak-stalliondirectory.com/a‑listingsS/Snowlion_RSI.html for pics of him–handsome…

Sasha — Aug 6, 2009
To answer everyone’s questions, yes, I was able to get the signature I needed with help from a great lawyer. It was a bit costly, but it was worth it because I do want to participate in the breed shows. I’m in the home stretch with respect to registration. I sent in…

Dory Update — Aug 3, 2009
From Jet (volunteer): Since I got some time to spend with the SAFE horses this weekend I thought I’d share a couple thoughts and photos… Dory was absolutely A‑DOR(Y)-able…she was interactive, sweet and affectionate. Her energy was laid back & she really gave…
Is there such thing as a horse that’s too easy?
Owen is always teaching me things, which makes interacting with him such a joyful experience. His smarts and his willingness make our sessions a lot of fun. He takes most everything he’s asked to do in stride…he always tries and he hardly ever overreacts. Which led…
Stella learns to halter herself!
I have been working on catch and release games with Stella. She is a very timid girl but is coming along nicely. We have been practicing with the halter and her putting her own nose down into it. Finally got someone to hold the camera for me so I can show you all. She…
Emmy Intake Photos
Welcome a new horse to SAFE! Emmy was seized by Pierce County Animal Control after she was discovered abandoned on a property with a huge herd of starving pigs and cattle. While the owner of the animals was identified and charged with cruelty, he apparently fled the…
Stella is learning!
Stella is learning to pick up her hooves softly without kicking. The rope allows us to desensitize her and get her used to picking up her feet at a distance where the handler can stay safe. She’s come a long way in the two weeks we’ve been working with her. By the end…
Sapphire to training with Kim Lacy
The next lucky SAFE horse to work with trainer Kim Lacy is Sapphire, who made the move to Hidden Falls Farm in Arlington today. Here’s Kim with her new student, ready for action!
Water, water everywhere!
Something wonderful happened over the weekend at Safe Harbor Stables, something that will have a tremendous impact on the lives of the horses who live there and the volunteers who care for them. To truly understand the scope of this, keep in mind that in the two years…
