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…

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…
Dental Day at Safe Harbor
Yesterday was a marathon day of dental care for the horses at Safe Harbor Stables. Dr McCracken of Rainland Equine did seven floats and some lameness consultations along with them. Here’s a rundown of how each of the horses did: Annabelle was not terrific about…

There’s a new face at Safe Harbor Stables, but it belongs to a horse that first came to SAFE way back in 2010. She was a 1997 registered Quarter Horse mare named Peppy Skippa Jewel, but we just called her Scarlett. She was originally signed over to SAFE by Animal…
California here he comes!
Leo is living the good life in sunny California! Like many of us from the PNW, the more arid climate is probably great for his breathing problems. Doesn’t he look happy?
Ben returns to the fold
For the past 60 days or so, Ben has been on an extended trial with a Hunter/Jumper trainer who was interested in finding out if he had a future as a sporthorse. This was a wonderful opportunity for Ben, and a tremendous help to us because it meant that he would…
