Holly Update — Nov 19, 2008
From Holly’s adopter: Dr. Hannah was out today to “winterize” the horses. She gave Holly two thumbs up! We used the measure stick and Holly is now 14.2 1/2 hands tall. She has grown 1 1/2″ since I last measured her in Aug. Holly’s rump is still taller than her…
Annie Update from Nov 16 2008
Annie’s on her way up to training! Annie loaded into the trailer like a champ, but was very nervous when she couldn’t see Willow. She is still so insecure about her place in this world and hopefully her training at Half Trak Farm will…

Sasha — Nov 8, 2008
Hello Everyone! I finally joined and will continue to update you on Sasha’s progress. It’s been a bit tough where I’m at to work with her daily due to the rain and the lack of light when I arrive. I’m looking into other options (e.g. moving her to another barn with an…

Jewel ‑The Patient Little Patient
You can probably imagine my response to the call that Jewel had been injured. At first I was worried that she was hurt, then hearing the treatment plan I was quickly thinking: oh no what are we going to have on our hands?!? I am very pleased to report that she has…
Love Me and Keep Me Safe
Dottie is a loving, gentle horse who would make a great companion. We have some concerns about her overall soundness as a riding horse but we are taking things slow with her to see where we end up. If she can only be pasture-sound, it would be nice to see her go to…

Cowgirl Kat!
It’s been a while since we updated you on Kat. We’ve seen a definite improvement in her tendency to trip over her front feet, and we suspect that the addition of vegetable oil to her diet has helped with that. Volunteer Sara E has been working with Kat under saddle…
