Lexi Update from Aug 8 2010
I just had to post how proud I am of Lexi. She did GREAT for me at the show, especially considering I’d only started working with her the previous week and she’d had a month or two off before that. Anyway, for the record she won the dressage Intro A & B classes as…
Lexi Update from Aug 4 2010
Update from foster mom: Lexi is doing well and we’re going to try all sorts of classes at the show Saturday (dressage, english, western, trail — all walk/trot). She’s a good all arounder. I’ve been working with her lightly almost daily since I picked her up last week…
Lexi Update from July 27 2010
Lexi hasn’t had much done with her the last few months due to lack of volunteers to ride her, and she has gotten a bit fat and sassy. Last night she was ridden by Amy, who previously fostered Whisper and Aiden, and then Amy took her home to work with her for the next…
Lexi Update from Feb 13 2010
Lexi is available for adoption again! The past few months she has been ridden by an 11 year old girl and has proved herself to be safe and quiet. We took her back because of some concerns that the foster home was not able to handle her strict farrier routine and she…
Lexi Update from Aug 30 2009
Allison tried Lexi out western today. She was so cute! And you can slow that trot down to a nice western jog too! She cooled her out bareback afterwards. Video also:
Lexi Update from Aug 23 2009
Lexi was so good at the 2009 SAFE Benefit Show! Everyone was amazed she had only had 75 days under saddle…she was so laid back and easy going! She wasn’t real comfortable having horses she didn’t know close to her so we put a red ribbon in her tail just to be safe,…
Lexi Update from Aug 12 2009
I rode Lexi myself tonight. She did great! She’s a lot of fun, and VERY sensitive to your seat and weight aids. She did great even with my cats deciding it was a good time to chase each other up the arena posts as we rode by. She didn’t like the length of my arena…

Big man Chip!
We are working to clear up some accesses and fungus in this sweet boy’s feet. He has been very good for the cleanings, poultice applications, and for wearing boots. His feet are looking and smelling much better! We also turned Chip and Finn out in the arena together.…
Training Update: Cameo
Cameo gets the right lead canter!! The new shoes are wonderful and the small changes that have been started are making a ton of difference in her ability to carry a rider. We have also noticed that the build up on her left shoulder from the right club foot has started…
Training Update: Finn
Unfortunately Finn has come up lame this month. We had Dr Krauter out to asses him and she found that the root of the lameness is in his left stifle. He is getting some time off and a loading dose of Pentosan. We will reassess him at the end of the load but we are now…
Training Update: Kai
Poor Kai had a few hoof abscesses this month. We have been treating them and all are healing up well. We are working him in boots, and that seems to be helping with his front foot tenderness. He is holding a good weight through the winter. We are looking into getting…
Training Update: Phoenix
Phoenix was introduced to small paddock turnout this month — he really enjoyed the change of scenery and spending time next to other horses. We are working him up to longer amounts of sustained trot. Currently he is doing 1–3 laps of trot with a few long sides of…
Dottie’s New Foster Adventure
As much as we’ve loved having Dottie Belle at Safe Harbor, the relative confinement hasn’t always worked well for her size and temperament, resulting in a string of colic scares. We’ve done all we can via diet and supplements to keep her happy, but really what this…
