Honeycutt Update from Dec 3, 2007

Poor Honeycutt. He does not like this weather at all. There’s a huge pine tree branch that fell into his paddock last night.…he is eyeing it as if to say “Hmmm, could I somehow fashion that into a boat to sail away in?” We are all thinking about building an…

Honeycutt Update from Oct 31, 2007

Honeycutt got his feet trimmed yesterday. He was a pretty good boy for the farrier.…he’s getting better and better at dealing with new people. There was one little incident that really surprised me.…he had a moment of panic while in the cross ties, and he went…

Deeds Update from Oct 27 2007

Update from Allison: I played with Mr. Deeds today and I’ve got to say, he is one nice horse. He stood nicely in the cross-ties — jigged a bit when the horses in the pasture started running around — and was quiet and cooperative while I tacked him up. Put him on the…

Deeds Update from Oct 1 2007

I did some research on Deeds’ racing history. He raced 65 times with 10 wins, 8 places, 3 shows. He earned $51,130 in his career. He raced at Hastings Park for most of his career, then Portland Meadows, and then the fair circuit. His sire, Alydeed, is a…

Deeds Update from Sept 29 2007

Picture time! I worked with Deeds today and I must say I LOVE this horse!! He is so sweet and willing and reminds me a lot of my Slam. I took him out and Allison and I put him in the crossties and brushed him and cleaned him up. He was a very good boy and stood…

Problems with Kat

Over the past month or so, we’ve been noticing that Kat has been tripping more and more, both under saddle and even when being led. It’s gotten to the point where we’ve decided to pull her out of training with Brittney until we can have a vet examine her and possibly…

Photos from the Open House

We had a great time at last Sunday’s Open House with lots of folks stopping by to meet the horses and enjoy a grilled hot dog or two. SAFE supporter Margaret C took these gorgeous photographs and was kind enough to share them with us.

Moonshine Training Video

Moonshine started cantering under saddle this week without a lead pony! He’s doing great!! Here’s a video taken the week before last of his first ride off the lunge line. Look closely and see if you recognize the horse that he’s working with in the arena…it’s…

Lucky Training Update

Lucky continues to do well in his work with Helga Roberts at Dutch Mills Farm. Recently she had this to say about his behavior and his attitude: “Lucky has been at my barn since the beginning of June and has not shown ANY bad barn behavior. He gets turned out every…

Strider…Mystery Solved?

Strider has been puzzling us for months with an on-again-off-again urinary tract issue. His only symptom was random bouts of leaking urine. Sometimes he would “dribble” significant amounts of urine, splashing himself and making a mess of his stall. Other times, he…

Cameo is now wearing a saddle!

Cameo wants everyone to know she has been wearing a saddle for a few weeks now, but today was the first time it was put on while she was standing in the cross-ties. You’ll notice that Cameo is wearing a chain in the photo. That’s because she is still learning how to…
