Summer Update from Dec 30 2009
I recieved an email today from Summerās former owner, which answers most of our questions about Summerās history before Jean: I owned Impromptu as a younger mare as well as her daughter Paprikaās Mark. I was horrified to hear and read of her life the last decade. Iā¦
Baxter Update from Dec 19ā20, 2009
Dec 19 Baxter had been doing so well, too wellā¦I guess. I should know that with a horse in this bad of shape there are going to be ups and downs, and today we had our first down ā a mild gas colic. I just started him on a small amount of beet pulp last night andā¦
Lola Update from Dec 16 2009
Wish I had had my video camera handy this afternoon. I went out to the back pasture to look for one of Roloās shoes that he pulled and Lola and Sinatra started racing each other around the entire perimeter of the pasture, then back into their paddock, and then backā¦
Annie Update from Dec 13 2009
The trot picture is from before I listened to Andrea and just gave Annie her release. I have issues trusting her under saddle because she is such a freak on the ground so I tend to hold onto her mouth, alebit it lightly, but still holding just in case she doesā¦
Baxter Update from Dec 12, 2009
Baxter is doing really well. Heās sure spunky! Heās been getting turned out in one of the paddocks and he trots around especially if he sees me coming with food. Heās up to about 3ā4 flakes of hay a day now and scarfing everything we put in front of him. He got wormedā¦
Dexter Update from Dec 12, 2009
Dexter had a little mini training session today with our trainer, who came down to teach some lessons. He did great! She put a bridle and saddle on him (which he didnāt care about at all) and lunged him a bit. He was a bit nervous about being lunged (probably beenā¦
Buckwheat Update from Dec 10 2009
Bucky got retested last week when the vet did Dexterās teeth and the initial exam on Baxter. His ACTH levels came back in the normal range, so the Pergolide dosage is correct and is working for him. He still got pretty hairy this winter, but its not a curly coat andā¦

A visit with Sapphire
SAFE Volunteer Manager Heather shared these photos of Sapphire on the SAFE Tumblr page. I asked her to fill us in on how our girl is faring at her foster home. āI take lesson there on Saturdays,ā Heather explained, āand I get to spend time with Sapphire. She spent theā¦
Trotting with Owen
One week under saddle and Owen is making astounding progress with trainer Matt Olson. Check out this video, taken at the end of Owenās lesson last Thursday. Did you notice how willingly Owen walked over the ābridgeā from the trails course? How about that reinback? Allā¦
October Training Report
Phoenix had a hard month concentrating under saddle. He continues to look sound on the front but does come out of his stall pretty stiff both in the front and hind. He had quite a few naughty days this month mostly due to work, noise, and activity at the barn thatā¦
Finn Update
Weāve had a setback with Finnās soundness this month. He has had some slight stiffness and isnāt looking as comfortable as he had been. When farrier Jake came to put on his new shoes last week, we noticed a bruise next to his frog on the right front. There was noā¦
