Sasha — Dec 6, 2008
Happy Saturday to all! I hear you on the dream barn. I think I’d probably clone Pond-a-Luce‑a with a few slight changes. They have a nice hay loft and a wash rack with warm water. It came in handy today when Sasha had her first dental! She did very well and had two…
Dory Update — Dec 2, 2008
I went out and visited Dory on Saturday at her foster home (and brought a potential adopter to visit her as well). She is doing fabulous! She’s in with three other horses and they all cater to her as the baby — she sneaks her way in slowly to the other horses’ stalls…
Annie Update from Dec 2 2008
Last report I had from Andrea (which was on Saturday) is that Annie is doing well, but of course is much more reactive than Willow and Andrea is going slow with her…working on desensitizing, learning how to tie and have baths and all that. She’s tacked her up,…
Biscotti — Dec 2, 2008
Hope is up at Julie’s right now, and Scotti is still here with me. Kayo and Scotti are scheduled for their brain surgery on Saturday…then the fun begins of the twice daily forced exercise. *sigh* — I am not looking forward to that part, but am looking forward to the…
Summer Update from Dec 2 2008
Summer is doing really well, and I can see that she feels much better now that she is on the Cushings medications. Her weight is great and she’s a great babysitter to the weanlings. I’ve also seen her gallop across the pasture a couple of times, so she is bright and…
Sasha — Nov 29, 2008
From Megan: We moved Sasha to her new home at Pond-a-Luce‑A Stables today (about 2–3 mins from KCJ). She really enjoys the indoor arena and her new stall. She was excited and unsure of the trailer and it took a little longer than we’d hoped to get her loaded up. But,…
Annie Update from Nov 20 2008
Annie’s doing well. So far Andrea (the trainer) is just getting to know them and working on ground work. Willow is learning to lunge and have things blankets thrown over her back and such in preparation for the saddle. She’s doing more desensitizing work with Annie as…
Holly Update — Nov 19, 2008
From Holly’s adopter: Dr. Hannah was out today to “winterize” the horses. She gave Holly two thumbs up! We used the measure stick and Holly is now 14.2 1/2 hands tall. She has grown 1 1/2″ since I last measured her in Aug. Holly’s rump is still taller than her…

Meet the “new girl” Sapphire!
This lovely creature is Sapphire, a 9 year old Arabian mare who was rescued from a neglect/abuse situation. She came to us with lacerations around her hind legs from being tangled in rope, several feet of her tail burnt off, and some alarming behavior. She’s been…

Updated photos of Sapphire and a video too!
Terry had this to report about Sapphire, who has been at SAFE Harbor for one week now: “She was a great girl today. Stood for grooming, all good except for back feet, we didn’t push it today. She haltered a few times and over all just took sometime letting her know…
Sapphire Intake Information
Sapphire was living in a situation of neglect on a local reservation. Animal Control officers in King County had been monitoring the mare’s condition for a period of time, but when tribal police found her running loose down a road, SAFE was called in to negotiate a…
Miah Brings a Smile
It has been a delight to get to know this gentle little flower. Miah is always happy to greet you in the pasture or in her paddock. She has a very soft and pleasant demeanor and her beautiful big eyes make your heart melt. I’ve started to ride Miah over the last few…
