Lola Update from May 25, 2009
Lola is ready to be offered for adoption. She has made such a turnaround since I last saw her and not just because she has grown and shed her nasty coat. Gone is the little filly with the ātude, she is a total sweetheart now! Allison and I were able to groom her headā¦
Aiden Update from May 25, 2009
Aiden has turned out so beautiful! He is almost all shedded out and his head is really very refined for an Appaloosa. I am beginning to wonder if he is purebred ā he also has a lot of mane and tail compared to the rest of the Appaloosas he was with who were allā¦

Stella is learning!
Stella is learning to pick up her hooves softly without kicking. The rope allows us to desensitize her and get her used to picking up her feet at a distance where the handler can stay safe. Sheās come a long way in the two weeks weāve been working with her. By the endā¦

Water, water everywhere!
Something wonderful happened over the weekend at Safe Harbor Stables, something that will have a tremendous impact on the lives of the horses who live there and the volunteers who care for them. To truly understand the scope of this, keep in mind that in the two yearsā¦
