Baxter Update — Feb. 5, 2011
It’s been a while since we have given a Baxter update. Baxter is a tough nut to crack, he’s clearly got a strong distrust of people and shows clear signs of being abused. However, he’s also retained a lot of his stallion-like behaviors from being gelded late in life…
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…
Lexi — Pending Adoption!
Cross your fingers, toes, and hooves for Lexi that she has found her home! She is pending adoption!
Sinatra — Jan 22 2011, Gold Creek Jumper Schooling Show
This past Saturday Sinatra attended his first show under saddle at Gold Creek Equestrian Center in Woodinville! Sinatra has been fostered by Sundance Equestrian Center and has been ridden by a teenage girl under the guidance of trainer Katherine Wade-Easley. They…
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…

Welcome to the new SAFE website!
The new SAFE website debuted today. It’s located at www.safehorses.org. My hope is that this website will incorporate all the best features of our Message Board, our old website, and Facebook. This post is somewhat of a test to try out our ability to automatically…
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…
Sophie at the Open House
Sophie was at her charming best this weekend, meeting and greeting at the SAFE Open House.
Emerald Downs “Where Are They Now?” — Doty Belle
Dottie was the star of this week’s Where Are They Now? feature at Emerald Downs. This video contains a great message about the value of horses who cannot be ridden, and we’re super proud of SAFE Board Member Eve Tai for this terrific interview!
Let’s hear it for Anderson!
Our gregarious gelding was released from the hospital last weekend and made an uneventful journey down to Vader WA where he will be starting kindergarden with trainer Darik Anderson. Testosterone is still ebbing away, but we have high hopes for this handsome fella. We…
New intake: Sophie
We have a new horse to introduce. This is Sophie. She’s a 2 year old TB/QH filly that was surrendered to SAFE this morning. She sustained a bad injury to her neck about 3–4 days ago when she was impaled on an uncapped t‑post. The wound was not treated, leaving a…
Another Chance for Maggie
It always makes us sad to hear that one of the SAFE alumni is looking for a new home. While it’s our intention that every adoption will last forever, we understand that situations change and sometimes horses have to be rehomed. We do ask that our adopters take…

Phoenix, along with his barn mates Karma and Bridgit, competed this weekend at the English/Western show at the Hollywood Hills Saddle Club! Phoenix brought home a yellow third place ribbon, and these lovely photos by Jessica Farren! Enjoy! [gallery link=“file”…
