Greta update: Mar 2, 2006
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”…
Greta Update — Dec 19, 2005
From Molly: Greta had her first big vet appointment today with Dr. Evergreen. I was nervous all week, because I didn’t know what to expect or how she would behave. For the most part it was uneventful, although very interesting for me; I got to feel the difference in…
Greta update — Nov. 28th, 2005
From Molly: Here’s her “don’t touch my back feet” look. Any suggestions? She was doing great, now she doesn’t want me near her behind. She is moving sound and looks fine.

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…

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…
