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…

Whisper — Update on her case
The gal that surrendered Whisper (Rose and Skye) to the City of Snohomish was found GUILTY of 1 Count of Cruelty to Animals in the First Degree. Not quite everything she deserves, especially since a fourth horse died in her care, but at least it’s something.…
Dory Update — Sept 3, 2009
Pending Adoption!
Buckwheat Update from Sept 1 2009
Poor Buckwheat. His ACTH results came back…normal for this time of year is around 21–53, his was at 164, so quite elevated and definitively Cushings. Well I guess it is a good thing that his adopters could no longer keep him so we can now get him the care he needs!…
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…
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…
