Foster a Horse in Need

Because SAFE does not have its own facility, we rely on a network of foster homes to house our rescued horses until they can be adopted.

There are so many forgotten horses out there that SAFE would like to be able to help, but the sad truth is that we are seriously limited by the number of foster homes we have at our disposal.

We really need a few more people who can offer a temporary home to even just one horse in need. We're looking for foster homes have adequate shelter and turnout, the ability to feed twice a day and to monitor the horse's health and weight, and enough experience to be able to care for a horse safely. SAFE will cover vet and farrier expenses for horses in foster care, and can also help with feeding costs if needed.

If you are interested in getting more involved with SAFE by becoming a foster parent, we'll ask you to fill out an application, provide references, and allow us to conduct a site visit. We do these things to help assure the best and safest experience for both the foster family and the foster horse.
