Lexi Update from Aug 8 2009

Lexi was awesome today! She looks so good, like a little mini-Warmblood! Alison got to ride her (I will have to have a turn soon though, she looks so fun!). She very steady now, very consistent on the bit and very forward, none of that pony movement or attitude from…

Lexi Update from July 23 2009

Lexi’s doing great in her training. She’s not quite consistent with her canter work yet, she has a hard time maintaining it on the corners with a rider but is getting there. She’s totally unfazed by anything that is going on around her and very calm and easy going.…

Lexi Update from July 10 2009

Lexi is doing fabulous with her training. Training sessions are still being kept short but she has remained completely sound even with a consistent 4–5 days a week of work. She has now done some short canter sessions under saddle as well. She is described as very…

Lexi Update from June 27 2009

Well today was the big video day for Lexi. And wow! I know its always exciting seeing these horses under saddle for the first time, but with Lexi it was even cooler, because the change to her FEET with the shoes has been amazing! She almost looks normal! Just that…

Lexi Update from June 25 2009

Lexi’s training is coming along very well. Like Rhythm, she is also now walking and trotting around the big arena under saddle. We also, after much discussion and getting Dr. Hannah’s blessing, put front shoes on Lexi as she seemed like she was getting footsore. She…

Lexi Update from June 3 2009

Lexi has also progressed to having a rider leaning over her back at a walk. She’s a little more nervous with Rhythm and hence a little behind him but coming along nicely as well.

Lexi Update from May 29 2009

Lexi is doing well in her first couple of weeks in training. She has learned to cross-tie, lunge, get baths, and is wearing a saddle and bridle. She wasn’t thrilled with the bit at first (was trying to spit it out) and bucked the second time she was saddled but has…

Lexi Update from Sept 30 2008

I visited Lexi this past weekend and she is still chunky and is getting her fuzzy winter coat which does nothing to help her look slimmer. She spends her days in a pasture with Rhythm and Willy a QH gelding. She is still very sweet, but preferred to graze over…

Let’s not forget Oscar!

Oscar, if you recall, was returned to SAFE by his adopter, having regressed a great deal from the horse he was behavior-wise when he was adopted. After his return, we started noticing some lameness in his front right leg. Dr King of Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital…

Good News about Phoenix!

We are excited as to how well Phoenix’s recovery has progressed! We are now riding him daily for about 45 mins of walk and trot work along straight lines, and he has remained sound through it all! Our next steps include introducing turnout in a small pasture; trotting…

Video: Lucky Under Saddle

Lucky is going beautifully under saddle! He has strengthened over his top line and built up a good amount of muscle over his back. He is holding a nice self carriage and has an easy walk, trot, and canter. Lucky is ready to show First Level dressage this year and and…
