Scotti — Sept 18, 2008
Scotti is sounding a lot better but NOT being a good boy for them. He’s making me chase him for 15 minutes before he will allow himself to be caught, and getting it down his throat isn’t fun either.
Biscotti — Sept 14, 2008
Poor Scotti was sounding bad again yesterday, and thankfully Hannah happened to be out and checked in on him. He is back on the antibiotics for another week. He seems like he feels ok, but his breathing sounds like Darth Vader. If he doesn’t improve after another…
Holly Update — Adopted!
Holly has been adopted by her foster mom, Merle of Duvall, WA! It’s official! I got the PM today that Holly is staying here at J&M Swan Acres. I am excited! Holly is a wonderful horse and I am lucky to be the one to care for her. I had hoped she would have a…

Scotti is doing much better. I had some gravel delivered today and he and Hope were very excited and running around. He’s still getting his hay soaked and his breathing is still somewhat ragged. He was not a very good boy for his antibiotics last night but was much…
Biscotti — Sept 1, 2008
Scotti gave me a huge scare last night. I was gone most of the day school shopping and by the time I got out to feed it was 8:30 and already dark. I fed everyone and was heading back to the house passing by the front pasture that Hope and Scotti were in, and Scotti…
Biscotti — August 30, 2008
Here’s a photo from August 28th with volunteer Crystal: And from Monica who did an article on him in her Horsebytes column: Scotti sure doesn’t look like he has ever had any nutritional setbacks in his life! If you haven’t yet been to visit him, though, it is his…
Annie Update from Aug 28 2008
Update from Monica B.: Yesterday I tried to make the most of a break between rain showers. With the help of Ashley, who boards her horse at Edensgate, and her friend Hailey, we put Annie through her paces. http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/horsebytes/ I hope to…

March training notes: Skittles
Skittles is going very well under saddle in both walk and trot. She has shown on two different occasions that she is a very level headed horse by not overreacting to noises or other horses acting up in turnout next to the arena while she was being riden. I wouldn’t…
March training notes: Oscar
Oscar has been pulled from the Volunteer Rider program for now, due to resistance moving forward and some kicking/bucking at the leg. Saddle fit is an issue—he’s very sensitive to the saddle rocking on his withers. We have been working on his grumpy reaction when…
March training notes: Finn
Finn is such a nice horse! He’s happy just to have his halter put on and be taken for a walk – he loves interaction and physical contact. Loves to be loved on! We set him loose in the arena, and he had lots of pent-up energy to burn. He ran around and around, kicking…
March training notes: Sasha
Moving forward with her in strengthening and re-introducing a rider. Her back is very weak so it will take time to build up. First rides were good but Sasha does show stubbornness when it comes to going forward. This could get ugly quickly so I’m taking it slow and…
