Sasha — July 14, 2009
Happy evening! Quick update on Sasha–she’s doing very well being ridden at the walk/trot off the lunge and around the property. She seems to feel more secure with herself in the arena when there is another horse in there, so great practice! I have also gotten her…

Whisper’s adoption has been approved and she should be going to her new home in the next week or so! Congratulations to Sabra G. of Deming, WA on your adorable, sweet new filly!!!
Buckwheat Update from July 6 2009
Here are a few photos of Bucky in his adoptive home during his site visit:
Biscotti — July 5, 2009
After his hoof trim today…and while everyone was focused on Lola and her antics, Scotti decided he’d like to pick up Daphne’s Hoof Stand…he kept trying and trying at different angles to get his teeth around the pad.…When that wasn’t working he decided to put his…
Holly Update — July 4, 2009
Update from Holly’s adopter: Holly sends her regards to all this 4th of July!! We had an early trail ride this morning and some round pen work to finish off. I told Holly that I am going to rename her.…. Tally, if she keeps going!! Happy and Safe 4th to all! Holly…
Lola Update from July 4 2009
While I was out today, Lola was showing her Naughty side…digging into Daphne’s bag and stealing a plastic bag with treats in it, running off with it…it was all quite funny. I was a bit too busy watching the antics but did manage to get this shot of Daphne catching…
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…
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…
Finn Update
As we talked about in his last update, Finn needed some special treatment and thanks to Jake Cowden, he has been able to get the shoes he needs to feel great. We gave him a few weeks after the first set of shoes to getting used to moving in them. When we trotted him…
Emmy update!
Emmy has been a rock star for everything I have introduced to her. She’s been doing well with ground work, lunging over trot poles, bathing, spray bottles, wearing a saddle with a girth, and bridling and taking the bit. She is also very well behaved in turnout with…
SAFE Alumni at the SAFE Show!
It was so delightful to have six former SAFE horses come out to compete at this year’s SAFE show. We love nothing more than seeing our old friends again, and nothing beats seeing them shine in the show ring! Thanks to these lovely photos by Karen Wegehenkel, you can…
