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…

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…

Summer had a visit from the vet today. Dr. Page thought she looks great!
Sasha — Jun 16, 2009
Good Morning- Here is video taken last night of my first ride on Sasha. She is doing amazing!
Aiden Update from June 14 2009
Aiden’s healing up very nicely, the swelling is gone, no more forced exercise. After the first few days he started to STINK really bad, and I had to get in there and clean everything out several times, during which I pulled out a huge chunk of rotting nasty yuck…not…
Bridgit is growing up!
We checked in recently with SAFE horse Bridgit to see how she is progressing in her preparation for training as a saddle horse. Bridgit has been in a foster home for the past year to give her a little time to grow and mature. Her foster mom had some wonderful things…
Our Dottie Belle
We’re quite happy to report that we haven’t had any more colic scares from our dear Dottie recently. Since completing Gastrogard therapy, she’s doing great on a product called Smart Gut and a few other digestive supplements. She gets a mash twice a day made of…
Ruby — Before and After
Ruby is having a great summer living out in pasture at her foster home. Her foster mom, Jackie, calls Ruby a very sweet girl who is friendly, curious and loves attention. Jackie says she wishes she could let her in the house so they could watch chick flicks and snack…
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…
