Holly Update — May 5, 2008
Holly’s foster mom update: Holly and Emma got to go play in the big field for the first time. They had a great time running and playing. Although, Holly would rather eat the grass. She looks really good. I have not seen her come into heat yet. Emma has been in twice.…
Annie Update from April 28 2008
Our farrier tried again to get her back feet done — this is the 3rd or 4th time now she has worked with her and she is also an experienced trainer, but Annie is having none of it. She will let you brush her hind feet, but if you touch them with a bare hand, she will…
Summer Update from Apr 27 2008
Summer after 6 weeks in SAFE’s care:
Sinatra Update from Apr 27 2008
Here’s our boy today, he is SUCH a ham but standing still for photos is not really his thing. I know it is hard to tell from these photos, but I actually see signs of a pretty horse emerging under all this hair. Right now though, he is still pretty homely looking:…

Here is Sasha, almost up to weight:
Annie Update from Apr 25 2008
Oh, Annie, Annie, Annie… She’s a little hothead that is for sure. Had a brief visit with her today and while she is very sweet, curious and wanting attention, if you scare her (and she scares easily), her reaction is to pin her ears and act out aggressively. I…
Phoenix Antics
I went to Jaime’s today to turn the boys out since it looked like we were going to get a break from the rain. It has been SOP to lead them both at the same time, and this has not been a problem, but alas I think those days are coming to an end. No sooner did we get…
Sinatra Update from Apr 19 2008
Yesterday I thought Mr. Blue Eyes’ vision might be in real danger… http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/horsebytes/archives/136900.asp Turns out it was my diagnostic skills that are in doubt. Not to mention my ability to close stall doors…
Moonshine Update
Moonshine was such a superstar at the Haunted Open House! His was the most involved costume of all the horses, and he handled it like…like…like he’d been wearing clothes his whole life. After the party was over, I took several more shots of him hanging out in his…
Dottie the Dragon!
Dottie wore a dragon costume for the Haunted Open House, and she was cute as a bug in her SAFE purple splendor! The base of the costume was a full hooded lyrca slinky, and Dottie was completely unfazed by having it put on her. In fact, once it was on, she seemed happy…
Meet “Trigger,” Roy Rogers’ famous steed!
Just kidding, it’s Phoenix. All the SAFE horses dressed up to celebrate Halloween at the Open House on October 27, and Phoenix’s costume was pretty easy… Here he is in all his palomino glory: Phoenix is…
We have a challenge grant to announce!!!
Our Fall Into Winter Feed Drive is in full swing, and so far the response from our wonderful supporters has been terrific! We are nearly half way to our goal of $15,000 by Nov 30…and it’s still October! That is pretty exciting! All the horses at SAFE are very…
Skye’s transformation!
You’ll often hear us say “it takes a herd to save a horse.” In Skye’s case, it is not a metaphor! In June, Dave Zanotelli and his daughter Julia offered to foster a SAFE horse. They are both very skilled at doing groundwork training and they were willing to take on a…
