Whisper Update — February 11, 2009
From Monica: I was grooming our sweet Whisper tonight and she is really filling out in her body and I am actually going to be cutting her food back. She has shoulder muscles forming and a nice round rear, and a bit of a belly, too. She has changed so much in just this…
Sinatra Update from Feb 9 2009
isn’t this a great picture of Sinatra? Taken by my friend Stacy, who came out last weekend with her daughter Madeleine to help out with the horses!
Sasha — Feb 8, 2009
Good Evening- Here are some more pics of Sasha. We’ve been working with a trainer for about four weeks now. We’ve been doing a lot of linking up to get her to be comfortable with leading and stopping. She’s doing quite well in paying attention to me and my body…
Annie Update from Feb 5 2009
Update from Allison: So I took Annie out for a thorough grooming session the other day, and I could not believe this was the same horse!!!!!! At first, she was a little jiggy, like “what are we doing, why is there no wall behind me”, but she quickly relaxed and…
Whisper Update — February 5, 2009
From Monica: Ok, the camera adds ten pounds…at least I hope it was the camera:-) I tried not to cry, but that sweet Whisper has a way of getting into the hearts of those who have had the priviledge of working with her. I swear I had many profound statements on…
Summer Update from Feb 4 2009
Summer gets a haircut! She is such a nice horse. I have never had a problem catching her and today she did not even blink at the clippers and let me clip her with out moving.
Summer Update from Feb 2 2009 and Feb 4 2009

Deeds Update from Feb 1 2009
Update from Deeds’ Adopter: So… Mr. Deeds got to be our model this wednesday! We had some reps out to my work to demonstrate a very fancy digital xray machine. Since my vet knew that i was planning on rechecking Deed’s enlarged fetlock and suspensory, he asked if i…

Somebody to love…
Savannah is such a lovely mare. She’s probably never going to be comfortable enough to be someone’s riding horse — her fibrotic myopathy causes a lot of strain to her back and hips — but she’s got so much to offer someone as a companion and friend. Savannah is a horse…
Silly goose!
Savannah didn’t enjoy yesterday’s hail storm, but rather than come inside to escape it, she chose to stand outside in her paddock and look miserable. Fortunately the hail didn’t last long, and within minutes all was well again, but we just had to laugh a little when…
Horses do the darndest things…
So Atticus has returned to Safe Harbor — his wonderful foster home had to bid him Adieu when one of their horses came home from training. He’s looking like a million bucks, by the way, he had a great winter hanging out with SAFE alum Deeds. Terry turned him out in…
New horizons for Misty
Misty has spent more than a year in foster care with Lisa T, a terrific rider and trainer who has donated countless hours working with this mare and continuing her training in a forward and positive direction. During their time together, Lisa and Misty did arena work,…
Owen Update
Owen continues to make steady progress adjusting to his new life as a SAFE horse. We’re taking things very slow with him to earn his trust. Fortunately Owen is a very good boy, gentle and willing and easy to deal with. It’s lucky for us that his behavior is so mild…
Sasha, Rest in Peace
On Friday afternoon, surrounded by friends who were there to comfort and say goodbye, Sasha was humanely euthanized. It is never easy to make the decision to let a horse go, but it is especially difficult when that decision is being made because we fear for the safety…
