Buckwheat Background and History
BUCKWHEAT is a 20–25 yo 15 hh gelding. Bay with a small star and a double snip. Right now he is a furry little guy in his winter coat. Buck is up to date on shots, worming, teeth and feet. He has some stiffness due to age and cold weather, but he is sound and quite…
Greta update — Jan 22, 2007
I got to see Greta today working with her trainer, Monica Stephens, and see Greta’s owner Molly again. Wow! I can’t believe this is the same horse I saw in May 2005, who was sick, thin, and lethargic in quarantine in Yakima. She is absolutely stunning! I think she had…
Earl’s Story
There’s a scene toward the end of the documentary Buck in which legendary horseman Buck Brannaman is in a pen with a stallion who repeatedly tries to attack him. Buck calmly uses his flag to keep the horse at a safe distance, and all the while, the stallion is rearing…

Update from Molly: Despite the rainrot and mud we have had a good winter. We are both looking forward to the sunny days of spring. Her mane finally grew in, maybe I should have named her Marilyn. Here she is with her new friends Tina and Jake. [gallery link=“file”…

New Intake: Portland
Portland is a 16 year old Thoroughbred gelding who was seized as part of a neglect case by Snohomish County Animal Control and signed over to SAFE late last week. Portland was removed from his owner with a Body Condition Score of 1 (out of 9) meaning that he was very…
A Visit with Khianna
It’s been a while since we’ve updated everyone on Khianna. If you recall, Khianna “flunked out” of training after our trainer advised us that she would need extensive one-on-one work after she displayed a tendency to bolt under saddle. She went to a foster home for a…
Skye Training Updates
Friday, June 21 Skye has had an easy day of roaming the round pen full of scary stuff. Dave said that she was a little wound up early on but by the end of the day, despite the tarps, barrels and the Cowboy Curtain of doom, she has calmed down. She got a chance to…
A new start for Skye
Skye has come a long way from the horse she was when she first came to SAFE. Back then, she was so accustomed to being shut up in a stall all the time that the relative freedom of a stall with an outdoor run was very strange and scary to her. Everything scared Skye at…
Lucky training update
Bucky B Lucky was moved into foster care with Helga Roberts at Dutch Mills Farm to continue his dressage training. We just got this wonderful update from Helga and we’re really pleased that he’s doing so well for her! SAFE is so fortunate to have Helga working with…
