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…

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…
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…

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…
Welcoming Ivy to Safe Harbor!
Ivy has just arrived at Safe Harbor after 60 days in the care of the vets at NWESC. She’s part of an active Animal Control case, and although she’s currently in decent weight and condition, another horse seized from the same owner had to be humanely euthanized due to…
A happy home for Skittles
We talk a lot about dreams coming true for our horses when we finally get to send them off to their new home, but we’re happiest when an adoption can make a dream come true for the human side of the new partnership as well. Susanne M has supported SAFE for quite some…
