Corona Update April 3 2011
Corona is doing well, but still not completely healed. He remains very tolerant for his treatments, however. He is also doing something we have seen with a few starved horses, where they come in with a thick winter coat with a top layer of really long, wiry guard…
Romeo — April 3
Romeo is doing very well after his castration, and tolerating his forced exercise well. Dr. Hannah reports he is still somewhat agitated and pacing in his stall, which is actually helping keeping the swelling under control. That should go away in a couple more weeks…
Sinatra — April 3
Sinatra has been lunged the last several days to see if his lameness issue got any worse, and to make it more easy to detect with nerve blocks because it was very mild at best and not sensitive to hoof testers and not positive on a flexion test. So far, he has…
Zan Update — April 3
Zanadu was a popular girl this weekend, having two potential adopters come and meet her this weekend. She has been a little grouchy lately on the ground, not sure if it is related to coming into heat or what. She’s fussy and overly sensitive about being groomed…
Charmeon arrives at SAFE — April 3
Charmeon arrived at the SAFE facility on Saturday afternoon. As part of our commitment to Char’s owner, we had placed her on a waiting list for when we had an opening for Char to come into our program, and meanwhile she had kept her in training until the end of…

Romeo was successfully gelded today by Dr. Hannah at NWESC. She reported that he did very well, she was a little worried about the recovery because of his leg and his age, but he stayed down very quiet after he woke up and then got up without drama. He will stay at…
Baxter — Adopted!
Congratulations to Mandy Klebe of Yelm, Wa on her adoption of Baxter!
Playful Brigdit!
Rest in Peace: Craspedia (2007–2015)
It took just a moment to fall in love with him, but it will take a lifetime to forget him. We met Craspedia in a field, a tall handsome fellow with a kind eye who stood calmly and quietly while we said hello to him. His owner had contacted us a few days before,…
New SAFE Intake: Banjo
Banjo was surrendered to SAFE by his owners on the recommendation of City of Snohomish animal control officers, who discovered the gelding had not received basic vet or farrier care for more than five years. The horse had gone unhandled for many years as well, making…
Maggie Returns
A few weeks ago, we received the unhappy news from Maggie’s adopters that they needed find a new home for her. This was by no means Maggie’s fault. She had fit in well at their farm, behaved like a perfect lady, and given them her trust. But they felt that their…
