Observations on Delilah
Excerpt from “Hoofbeats Across My Heart” by Jeannette Parrett “All of the mares are getting noticed on the SAFE message board but Delilah seems to be stealing hearts left & right. I’m not sure if it’s her maternal status or the fact that she looks like a giant teddy…
Delilah Update from Jan 28 2010
Delilah got her feet trimmed today and those long, flared feet trimmed up. Here’s the summary I sent to AC: Delilah was showing lameness in her left hind right after having her hoof flexed for trim and then set back down for a few steps and then got better. Seemed to…
Baxter Update from Jan 26–28, 2010
Jan 26 Baxter is not gaining as much weight as we would hope to see by now (7 1/2 weeks post-rescue). He’s eating fairly well — pretty much all the hay he can eat until he wastes it — but he wastes a lot of his grain dumping it on the ground and refusing to eat it. I…

Summer Update from Jan 20 2010

Annie Update from Jan 16 2010
I rode Annie today and she continues to do really well. She is fairly solid W/T/C and we are starting to learn leg yeilding, first at the walk and then at the trot and she is picking it up so well. This has got to be one of the most intelligent horses I have ever met!…

Trail Ride!
Volunteer Sara E rode Kat on a trail ride this weekend along with Terry and Skittles. Sara was able to compare this ride with one she and Kat went on a year ago. Not only does Kat know Sara better now and trusts her, she is also clearly feeling much better in her own…
