Sinatra Update from Mar 9 2008 — Mar 12 2008
March 9 2008 Sinatra is doing much better today and spent much more of his time up and eating instead of lying down and worrying me. The extra blanket is keeping him nice and warm and we have heat lamps as a backup if needed. He’s just so much scrawnier and weaker…
Holly Update — Mar 11, 2008
From Holly’s foster mom: Holly greeted me when I came out to feed this morning. All of my horses talk to me too. Holly and Emma got an other dusting for the bugs today. I’ll be glad when we are over that. Holly likes her brushings. No need to Thank me. It’s like being…
Phoenix Update
Phoenix’s bloodwork showed him as still a little anemic and protein levels a little low, but this morning he was down but got up by himself this morning. He wasn’t thrilled with his grain last night but this morning I tried it without any grass hay pellets in it and…
Holly Update — March 10, 2009
Update from Holly’s adopter: Holly will be started this year but I’m taking my time with her. I have saddled her and layed across her back. No big deal for her. Her butt has caught up with the withers so maybe she will quit growing. There is no rush to put her to work…
Holly Update — Mar 10, 2008
From Merle, Holly’s foster mom: Holly and Emma are doing great. Holly is a real looker but when Emma sheds out she will be so pretty too. Holly is about 12hh right now. I will measure her in a few days after we get to know each other. Emma isn’t too much shorter, so…

Jewel is making progress!!
It’s been a while since we updated Jewel’s page, and last time we reported about her, things were not going perfectly for this little gal. She was having a rough time getting along with other horses, and she was showing some conformation issues that had us a little…
Bridgit Update
Bridgit has moved to a new foster home with SAFE President Debi Shatos in Snohomish where she shares space with Debi’s mare, Summer. Bridgit is a confident youngster, but she has wisely decided that Summer is the boss mare and she needs to be respectful. With that…
Chip the Happy Gelding
Chip has made such great progress in the past few months and I can’t help but be proud of all his accomplishments, no matter how small they may seem. When he first came to my farm, he was very timid. He seemed to have some difficulty getting along with the bigger…
Sinatra Update
What can we say about Sinatra that hasn’t already been said? He’s lovable, he’s laughable, he’s one of a kind. The Vitamin E supplements he’s been getting continues to help his proprioception issues, and under saddle, he seems to be feeling pretty good. Which for…
Miah’s First Trail Ride! (With Kat!)
Miah took a big step today with her first ever trail ride as a SAFE horse — possibly the first of her life — and she did great!! It’s only just recently that she’s gotten to a point where she was ready to hit the trails, and she was a very good girl. To be fair, she…
