Tia Update — Mar 2, 2011
Yesterday, I met with Dr. Hannah and some of the caretakers to discuss Tia. While she has settled down from her very unsettling episodes of extreme anxiety that she was exhibiting a couple of weeks ago, she is still generally showing some signs of agitation at times.…
Nadia Update — Mar. 2, 2011
Here is a photo of Nadia under saddle yesterday. She actually was not very good yesterday, she is very herdbound to her pasture mate and was screaming and fairly tuned out to the trainer (she’s since been moved and now shares a pasture with Delilah, who gets along…
March Volunteers of the Month: Abby and Andrew
Introducing our volunteers of the month, Abby and Andrew! Abby and Andrew are a couple that have been volunteering once a week at SAFE for about a year and a half now. They come on Friday mornings and are reliable, efficient, and always cheerful! They have also taken…
Nadia Update — Feb. 28, 2011
I’ve been playing phone tag with our trainer, but I caught her for a few minutes this morning and she gave me a quick update on Nadia. Their farm in Stanwood has been buried in 3 feet of snow (and still snowing today! thank goodness we just have rain here now) and…
Corona Update Feb 27 2011
I was at NWESC today dropping off our two new horses and took the opportunity to get some updated photos of Corona. He is looking so much better! He has gained a considerable amount of weight already, his feet look much better, and his injury is looking considerably…
New Intakes — Feb 27 2011
SAFE has taken in two senior horses (25+) surrendered tonight to King County Animal Control (we were told the mare is 37, the gelding is 33, but Dr. Evergreen thinks they are not quite that old, but definitely over 25). They are currently in SAFE’s care and are being…
Baxter — Pending Adoption!
Cross your hooves that Baxter has a new home! Here he is today with his potential mom-to-be. She does a great job with him!
Handsome Ben!
Volunteer Jessica Farren was out to the stables last week and took some beautiful photos of Ben and volunteer Ann working in the arena. We also had a few others with Ben and Terry in the arena a few weeks ago. He is truly a stunning boy and his looking healthy and…
Checking in with Annabelle
If Annabelle could tell us all the stories of her life, I think we would all have a good long cry and then gather ourselves up and look to the future. She is a tough girl who has spent a good part of her life fighting for her safety. Annabelle has a deep soul and we…
Anderson is making great progress!
Anderson is doing excellent in training with Darik. He has spent some time relaxing into being a good gelding and getting used to the life as a domestic horse. We got to spend some time with him and watch Darik work him in the arena. He still has a cautious nature but…
Health Update: Phoenix
We wanted let everyone know where things are currently with Phoenix’s health and lameness status. After trying a few different shoeing options over the last few months, some that helped but some that didn’t, we decided to ask Dr. Devine from Pilchuck come out to take…
Health Update: Lola
It’s time for Lola to start her rehab and get ready to be shown to potential adopters again soon! Her lameness first showed up in December. After new shoes, X‑rays and even injecting her right coffin bone we came to the conclusion that Lola most likely had a soft…
Health Update: Nala
The past few months have caused a bit of frustration for Nala and her friends here at SAFE, as we have been dealing with some lameness issues with no real conclusions. Her new shoes in May helped solve problems related to conformation, but a new lameness appeared.…
