Training Update: Einstein
Einstein is a true smarty-pants! We have introduced tack and a riderās weight, taking things slowly as he still has some weight and muscle to gain over his back. He has been an absolute gem about everything. He is getting used to the flag work and connects very wellā¦
May 21st is āGive Your Former Stallion a Bathā Day
Hereās Dr Hannah, teaching Anderson the joys of bathing on a warm day in late Spring! This was a great learning moment for our former wild stallionā¦and as it turned out, a learning moment for all of us as well. Although Anderson had been checked carefully for liceā¦
Training Update: Karma
It has been a few weeks of firsts for Karma: her first time jumping all the way into the trailer, her first trail ride as a SAFE horse, and her very first show! Trailer loading has been a challenge for Karma since the day we picked her up but we have had an amazingā¦
Stella!!!!!!!
Baby girl is back at Safe Harbor! I would say that we missed her but Iām not sure the neighbors were too happy she was home. She spent the first two days (and nights) calling for her bestie Jewel, who was stalled in the other barn. It was a bit of an adjustment beingā¦
Training Update: Kai
Kai is going very nicely for trainer Joel Conner in Vancouver WA. Heās made some great improvements, both in the ground work and riding over the course of his tune up training. There was a little setback a few weeks back when Kai cut his chin while playing over theā¦
What a Jewel!
It may or may not be a secret but I LOVE this little mare SO much! She has grown into the cutest little quarter horse mare. She looks like a little miniature version of Finn and we all love his nice hindquarters! We recently brought both Jewel and Stella in fromā¦

Raven Gets to Eat Grass!
To our delight, Raven is getting ever closer to being a ānormalā horse. We have been getting her out on fresh grass little by little to see how her digestive system handles it, and sheās doing well on it. Sheās off all medication and now the only additive we give herā¦

Asha is getting close!
Last night we were 67.2% sure that Asha would have her foal. Turns out she did not, but now we are 92% sure that tonight is the night! Hereās what Foal Watch 2018 looks like at Safe Harbor Stables, as we prepare for our first foal in TEN YEARS (clickā¦
Getting to know Pyrrha
Pyrrha a bit of a mystery. We have had a few conversations around the barn as to what breed she might be but nothing really fits. But no matter what type of horse she is, this mare is strong as a brick house! Sheās most likely been around the block and seen manyā¦
Justin Makes Steady Progress
Justin is doing very well in preparation to become a riding horse. We have spent a great deal of time strengthening him and getting him balanced to hold the weight of a rider. He initially had trouble transferring his weight off of his forehand and over his hocks. Heā¦
