Welcome to the new SAFE website!
The new SAFE website debuted today. It’s located at www.safehorses.org. My hope is that this website will incorporate all the best features of our Message Board, our old website, and Facebook. This post is somewhat of a test to try out our ability to automatically…
Zan Update — Jan 12 2011
Zan and I rode last night, despite the wind. I decided to lunge her first to see how she felt with the wind whipping and let her adjust to the sound the arena roof makes with a big gust (it even made me jump the first few times I heard it!). She gave a few bucks on…
Charmeon Update
Charmeon has had some training now and lightly started under saddle but still needs more. The owner has since lost her home and sold her furniture to pay for board and training for her two horses. This is a nice mare that still has a lot of potential!
Zan Update from Jan 9 2011
I liked Zan so much I called the trainer to see if she’d come down and give me a lesson today. While Zan was a bit of a nut on the lunge line yesterday (bucking and racing around before settling in) today she gave me a quiet, rythmic trot instead. I’ve been told this…
Lexi Update from Jan 9 2011
I just thought I’d update Lexi’s thread. She’s a volunteer favorite. She’s so sweet and easy to handle. It seems like she’s always out getting groomed or loved on. I rode her a few times last fall in anticipation of her being looked at by a potential adopter (and of…
Dexter Video from Jan 8 2011
Dexter back under saddle after being returned to SAFE in December.
Dexter Update from Jan 8 2011
I’m sad to report that Dexter is back at SAFE. While I like to hang out with him- I was really hoping to never see his cute face again. He was a very good boy for his potential adopter for about 2 months and then he had some behavioral issues and was returned. It…

March training update: Cameo
Cameo has improved so much over the past several months. She’s become very steady under saddle and seems so much more mature. She is lovely to handle and work with now that she has lost that flighty edge. She has really settled into the ground work and being ridden on…
A Message from the President: “Am I crazy?”
“Am I crazy?” This was the title of the document SAFE’s president, Debi Shatos, shared with the Board of Directors last September. Our resounding answer was “NO!” The potential craziness in question outlined a plan to lease the house adjacent to Safe Harbor Stables…
Kid Kai
Chip’s First Day in Foster Care
Chip was moved from Safe Harbor to a foster home in the Maple Valley area, where he now shares a huge field with an older horse named Jesse. Here’s a video of his arrival and meeting Jesse for the first time:
Who saw this coming?
Owen has been adopted, and it will probably come as no surprise to anyone that his adopter is SAFE Executive Director Bonnie Hammond. It was never our intention that Owen would end up spending his first spring and summer as a SAFE Horse on Bonnie’s farm in Silverdale,…
Kai in training
Kai left on Tuesday to spend a month in training with Joel Conner, who was recommended to us by Buck Brannaman. Kai made the 3 hour journey to Vancouver WA without a problem (thank you Chris T for hauling him!) and settled in nicely at Joel’s farm. The next day we…
