Holly Update — May 14, 2008
Foster mom update: You should see her now! We took some pictures today so you should see them soon. Holly was so good for Dr Hannah. Holly is NOT preggers. Yeah!!!!!
Annie Update from May 14 2008
Annie finally got her back feet done with the help of a little sedation. It was a fine line between giving her enough sedation to keep her from kicking (apparantly, she was still hard to do) and not so much where she couldn’t stand. But they got it done. Phew! She…
Biscotti — May 13, 2008
Sorry I haven’t given many updates or photos yet. Its been miserable weather-wise and dealing with a sick foal in quarantine and a newborn means not much is getting done with him and he hasn’t been out of the stall yet except to go from one stall to another when I am…
Background and History
Biscotti was born at SAFE out of a 5 year old black and white pinto Saddlebred mare named Hope (Registered name “Acquiescence”) that was rescued from a large animal control seizure involving 9 other horses (plus 10 more in another county) in Carnation on February 22,…
Horsebytes Blog by Monica Bretherton: Photo Assistant
http://blog.seattlepi.com/horsebytes/2008/05/08/photo-assistant/ A gray new day is dawning…. And I’m not done with yesterday yet. But here are some pictures. Maid duty at SAFE is, well, a little repetitive, so when there’s a chance to accomplish two things at once,…
Phoenix Photos and Hock Swelling
Phoenix is doing great! The main concern with him right now is a little bit of a swollen left hind hock that I am keeping an eye on. I think he probably overexerted himself somehow. Other than that, he is doing really well and I took tons of hair off him yesterday. I…
Holly Update — May 5, 2008
Holly’s foster mom update: Holly and Emma got to go play in the big field for the first time. They had a great time running and playing. Although, Holly would rather eat the grass. She looks really good. I have not seen her come into heat yet. Emma has been in twice.…
Annie Update from April 28 2008
Our farrier tried again to get her back feet done — this is the 3rd or 4th time now she has worked with her and she is also an experienced trainer, but Annie is having none of it. She will let you brush her hind feet, but if you touch them with a bare hand, she will…
Strider…Mystery Solved?
Strider has been puzzling us for months with an on-again-off-again urinary tract issue. His only symptom was random bouts of leaking urine. Sometimes he would “dribble” significant amounts of urine, splashing himself and making a mess of his stall. Other times, he…
Cameo is now wearing a saddle!
Cameo wants everyone to know she has been wearing a saddle for a few weeks now, but today was the first time it was put on while she was standing in the cross-ties. You’ll notice that Cameo is wearing a chain in the photo. That’s because she is still learning how to…
Nora the Poster Girl
Nora’s lovely face graced the advertisements we sent out for tomorrow’s Open House. Isn’t she the cutest?
Portland Update
Portland’s condition is continuing to improve, but he is still very thin. He’s also covered in bites, scrapes, and scars — evidence of the life he was leading before he was rescued. His coat is improving and he has shown us some glimpses of spirit and energy, which…
Checking in with Nora
Everyone is pretty much in love with Nora. She’s a doll, just sweet and loving and really, really pretty. Her physical condition is slowly improving and while she still needs to put on more weight, she’s looking healthier and her coat has improved. Nora’s biggest…
