Honeycutt Update from May/June 2009
Poor Honeycutt stepped on a nail somewhere in his pasture and ended up with an icky wound in his heel bulb. He was an amazingly good boy through this ordeal, including a trip to the vet hospital — he hopped right in the trailer without a fuss. He had to endure 4 days…
Biscotti — June 19, 2009
Scotti’s been being a pill to Lola and Aiden and Classy was having a nervous fit about being moved to another pasture and so I thought I’d try the two of them out together. Classy has a reputation for being dominant to other horses but I figured Scotti could use some…
Summer Update from June 17 2009
Summer had a visit from the vet today. Dr. Page thought she looks great!
Sasha — Jun 16, 2009
Good Morning- Here is video taken last night of my first ride on Sasha. She is doing amazing!
Aiden Update from June 14 2009
Aiden’s healing up very nicely, the swelling is gone, no more forced exercise. After the first few days he started to STINK really bad, and I had to get in there and clean everything out several times, during which I pulled out a huge chunk of rotting nasty yuck…not…
Dory Update — Jun 14, 2009
New photos of Dory the Adory-able! She was a little naughty today, she is going through a little bit of terrible twos. She threw a little mini-fit being taken away from the horses and being very naughty but I worked with her a bit and while she will test new people…
Annie Update from June 14 2009
Annie being ridden by dressage trainer Vivian Doolittle and by a novice rider (Robbi):
Whisper Update — June 14, 2009
Visited Whisper today, and wow! She looks amazing! She has grown a lot in height (she was 13.3 a few months ago, and I sticked her today at 14.2 at the wither and 15h at the butt — she is going to end up a good sized horse I think!). She also has filled out a…
The way to Stella’s heart
Here’s SAFE volunteer Lisa doing some expert scratching on the (formerly) shy Stella. Apparently the way to this sweet mare’s heart is through her withers!
Who doesn’t love a happy ending?
Here are SAFE we are so fortunate to have some great equine professionals on our team! Take for instance, Kim Lacy. Kim is a dressage trainer and rider who specializes in the Arabian breed. She is quite active on both the local Arab show circuit as well as in…
Kat’s found her person!
We’ve said all along that Kat was a one-woman horse. After all, Kat isn’t the type to give her heart away to just anyone. She’s not the sort of girl who has hundreds of casual acquaintances. But she is the sort who is a friend to the end, once she decides to let you…
Pictures of Stella
I had a chance to visit with Stella and Terry today. Stella is the prettiest little thing!
Stella’s education begins…
Terry has started working with Stella at liberty in the arena, giving her the chance to stretch her legs and learn a thing or two about approaching people. Fortunately she loves scritches, and that makes this introduction period a lot easier!
Chip makes new friends
Here’s Chip, making some new friends and behaving like a perfect gentleman around the young 10yr old that was grooming him. He would make a great companion horse for another gelding. Low man in the order so he doesn’t try to dominate other horses. Since he was a…
