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¦

Dexter Update from Dec 5, 2009
Introducingā¦Dexter! Isnāt he the cutest? Heās a bit butt-high at the moment, so he still has some growing to do. Heās very round, and a far cry from the condition he was in when he was seized (currently a BCS of 5/9). Today he got his teeth done and his wolf teethā¦

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¦
First ride for Karma, and more great news!
I have to say this little grey mare has my heart right now! She is making great strides in her rehabilitation and there is a lot of hope for the sweet side of this mare breaking through. She was very cautious when she first came to Safe Harbor and we made sure to takeā¦
Stella the Brave and Beautiful
Stella is growing up nicely and has become much more consistent for other people to handle. She is easy to catch in turnout and happy to get groomed. She is still a little shy about letting people handle her feet but thatās continually improving too. She is a veryā¦
