Buckwheat Update from June 24 2008
From Jenny: I briefly visited Bucky last week — it was a bittersweet visit because of Shante’s passing (Shante’s final resting place is a lovely spot on kind of a knoll, under a huge tree). Bucky was eating his mush and hay when I arrived; he’s all shed out, his coat…
Deeds Update from June 22 2008
Annie Update from June 19 2008
Another Annie update from her foster mom, Julie: Here’s another update on Annie. Unfortunately I can’t seem to post to the message board from my computer — I’ve tried everything and even my techno-savvy ex-husband can’t figure it out… Anyhow, yesterday was Annie’s…
Biscotti — June 18, 2008
Ok, the naming thing. We’ve thrown around the idea of a naming contest/fundraiser. I am not sure how many people are interested in this, but ok, how about $5/name? Contest ends Sunday 6pm. And PLEASE, pick good names! We are looking for a barn name, not a registered…
Annie Update from June 17 2008
Fantastic update on Annie from her foster mom, Julie! I just wanted to give you an update on how Annie is doing. I have started her under saddle and have put three rides on her. I have bridled her and have ridden her with a snaffle. She is halter broke and leads…
Biscotti — June 16, 2008
Photos courtesy of Leah Anderson: Hope’s baby (come on! Name please!) got his first “trim” today. He was a bit fussy at first but once I figured out that as long as I scritched his back and butt really hard — Daphne could do whatever she wanted…
Holly Update — June 13, 2008
Holly update from her foster mom: Holly was as bad as the others but because of her color it was not as apparent. The first time she came in wet from the rain I was taken back by how thin she really was. Holly weighed 680lbs when she came here. Yesterday I did some…
Sinatra and Phoenix from May-June 2008
May 21 2008 Not exactly a glamour shot, but here here’s Sinatra and Phoenix — I call this shot “Bonnie’s Groupies.” Sinatra is so laid back compared to Phoenix, who is Bart Simpson personified. Or is that horseified? June 12 2008 Mike managed to grab the camera and a…
Skye’s First Ride — Video
We couldn’t be more excited to share with you this video taken of Skye’s first experience with a rider in a saddle on her back. We are so proud of our girl and the amazing progress she has made under the guidance of Dave Zanotelli. Dave started fostering SAFE in late…
Atticus Update
Atticus was released from the vet hospital last week and was transported to SAFE Harbor Stables. Six weeks post rescue, he is feeling a lot better…in fact the excitement of moving caused him to get quite amped up! He loaded well into the trailer, but was fairly…
Kai — Available for Adoption once again
Kai is back at SAFE Harbor and is once again available for adoption. Kai was adopted earlier this year to a rider looking for a horse to do low-level eventing and trail riding with. After an extended trial period, things were going quite well for Kai — he was…
Savannah’s Story
If you’ve visited SAFE Harbor Stables in the past few days, you may have noticed there’s another new horse in our herd. Her black and white coat is glossy, her eyes are bright, and she is definitely well fed. If she looks a bit familiar, it’s because she is a former…
Ginger Training Update
Ginger is quickly making progress with Kim Lacy at Hidden Falls Farm! She is longeing in tack and Kim is putting weight on her back with no problem. Kim also reports that Ginger has also learned how to cross-tie and clip well. We’re all very proud of our pretty girl…
Misty Update from Lisa
We’re on a roll lately. Misty has been absolutely wonderful to ride and handle. Though she can still be a fruitcake on the lunge line (as Kyle witnessed when she came to shoot some video recently), she is really learning connection and trust with me — when she gets…
