Dory Update — Aug 3, 2009
From Jet (volunteer): Since I got some time to spend with the SAFE horses this weekend I thought I’d share a couple thoughts and photos… Dory was absolutely A‑DOR(Y)-able…she was interactive, sweet and affectionate. Her energy was laid back & she really gave…
Sinatra Update from July 28 2009
Sinatra got a visit from SAFE Volunteer Coordinator, Jet, who took these fine photos of our boy on a lovely summer day.
Holly Update — July 19, 2009
Photos from Holly’s annual site visit: Holly looks fabulous (of course!) These are some of the pictures I took at my visit. No one would ever have the faintest clue this filly came out of anywhere but a good Appaloosa breeding operation. She’s truly a very nice filly…
Holly Update — July 16, 2009
Update from Holly’s adopter: I just wanted to give a little update on Holly. Cathy was out on sunday to visit and see Holly. Cathy was amazed how much she has grown…and still growing…Her training is going well and yesterday we had three horses working in the round…
Update from Phoenix’s adopter
Phoenix is having a great summer — I think he gets better looking all the time. Now that he has lost his winter coat entirely he looks darker than I remember last summer. Kind of reminds me of Kokomo. I am having some pictures taken of us working together next month -…
Sasha — July 14, 2009
Happy evening! Quick update on Sasha–she’s doing very well being ridden at the walk/trot off the lunge and around the property. She seems to feel more secure with herself in the arena when there is another horse in there, so great practice! I have also gotten her…

March training notes: Oscar
Oscar has been pulled from the Volunteer Rider program for now, due to resistance moving forward and some kicking/bucking at the leg. Saddle fit is an issue—he’s very sensitive to the saddle rocking on his withers. We have been working on his grumpy reaction when…
March training notes: Finn
Finn is such a nice horse! He’s happy just to have his halter put on and be taken for a walk – he loves interaction and physical contact. Loves to be loved on! We set him loose in the arena, and he had lots of pent-up energy to burn. He ran around and around, kicking…
March training notes: Sasha
Moving forward with her in strengthening and re-introducing a rider. Her back is very weak so it will take time to build up. First rides were good but Sasha does show stubbornness when it comes to going forward. This could get ugly quickly so I’m taking it slow and…

Rain, sand, and Sasha
This is what happens when you mix rain, sand, and Sasha. I think she knew I was laughing…what else could I do? Love her face!
