Ariel is one of the Elledge horses from the Snohomish County case that SAFE has been quietly caring for since she was born. Ariel's dam is Amber, who gave birth to her just 9 days after her arrival at SAFE and who was still in horrendous condition at the time. Ariel, thankfully, appears to have suffered no ill effects from her dam's ordeal, and has been a normal, healthy filly, that has been an absolute pleasure to have on the farm. Her only issue has been a 3 cm umbilical hernia, but this past week, on November 5th, she went to Pilchuck and had it surgically repaired. We are thankful to the county for picking up the bill for the surgery, and she has now been signed over to our care.
Born at almost exactly midnight March 14th, she is about 2 months older than Biscotti. She is similiar in coloring and markings to her dam, but unlike the shy, skittish nature of her dam, Ariel has been a social and friendly filly from the beginning, who loves to give nose kisses. We have been told that her sire is fanaberia's Khramer, formerly known as Wajiih El Nefous.
Ariel is with me in Monroe, she's been living in the "baby paddock" with Scotti and Kayo since the big weaning day, but since her surgery she is on stall rest for a while. Her adoption fee is $500.

After we moved her into a stall, Amber takes the time to clean her up:
More photos to come! I have tons, but none are on photobucket, so bear with me!

It was always a joy to visit her whenever we stopped by SAFE because she is so social. I'm sure she will find a home quick! Who could resist her.
