Sinatra Update — 1/27/11
Our volunteer Sara stopped in and visited Sinatra on Thursday and also got a chance to watch him being ridden in a jumping lesson. He is just as cute a button jumping, and what was on his stall but FOUR BLUE RIBBONS! He won all four of his cross-rails classes at the…

Delilah Update — Jan 20 2011
Delilah is coming along beautifully in her training and is going walk/trot/canter under saddle. Today we put shoes on her as she has been a little footsore ever since the ground was frozen. She immediately was moving much more comfortably. The trainer called me today…

Zan Update — Jan 12 2011
Zan and I rode last night, despite the wind. I decided to lunge her first to see how she felt with the wind whipping and let her adjust to the sound the arena roof makes with a big gust (it even made me jump the first few times I heard it!). She gave a few bucks on…

Charmeon has had some training now and lightly started under saddle but still needs more. The owner has since lost her home and sold her furniture to pay for board and training for her two horses. This is a nice mare that still has a lot of potential!

So far is SO good for Ben!
Some horses just have that sparkle in their eye from the moment they arrive at SAFE. Within the abused or neglected body is a personality that’s just waiting for the energy and life to come back. Since the day he arrived at Safe Harbor, Ben has been one of those great…
A Real Einstein
As we’ve gotten to know Einstein better, we’ve come to understand that he’s a pretty amazing horse. When he first arrived at Safe Harbor, after three weeks in Animal Control custody, he was pretty unsure about just about everything, so he spent his first few days…
New shoes for Phoenix
A pair of new glue-on shoes have really helped Phoenix’s tender toes! And look how well-behaved he was for his hoof preparation! He knew that farrier Jake Cowden was not going to hurt him. He’s such a sweet and trusting horse. So far he seems to be a lot more…
