by Cathy Olson | Aug 4, 2025 | Coco, Minnie, Teddi
Coco, Minnie and Teddi continue to do very well together. While at SAFE, Teddi served as a wonderful aunt, watching over and teaching first Minnie and then Coco herd dynamics. Teddi has extended her motherly instincts to the bovine species. Marti told us Teddi was...
by Lily Leitkowski | Jul 30, 2025 | Venturo
Venturo turned five months old last week, and he sure is turning into one handsome little colt! He is a sweet and curious little fellow, one who very much appreciates scratches and a good romp on grass with mom, to whom he is baring a striking resemblance these days....
by Lily Leitkowski | Jul 29, 2025 | Trinket
With only a handful of rides, Trinket is coming along great. We are keeping things short and sweet (just like Trinket herself) but this smart little mare is a fast learner! She is quickly getting the hang of coming up and down through the gaits on a feel, and recently...
by Lily Leitkowski | Jul 28, 2025 | SAFE at Home Stories
At SAFE, we are proud to help horses in need find safe and loving homes. But a lot of what we do happens behind the scenes, conversations, consultations, and quiet moments spent helping people figure out what kind of horse (or donkey!) is truly the right fit...
by Lily Leitkowski | Jul 26, 2025 | Cleopatra, Deja Vu
Having a community of trustworthy organizations in our network that can call on us for support — and vice versa — helps us to help more horses, not to mention each other. In exchange for taking Hayden into our program, Care Fur Life took in not just one, but two of...
by Lily Leitkowski | Jul 24, 2025 | Eda
Eda was the first of the Valentine herd to wear a saddle, after making her way through our groundwork checklist swiftly and without a lot of trouble. Her first time being cinched up was, as you can see, pretty mellow. But mellow is more or less par for the course with...
by Lily Leitkowski | Jul 18, 2025 | Quincy, Thistledown
SAFE’s promise to our alumni is that they will be safe, forever. Quincy’s adopter’s life circumstances had changed, and in the long term she would be unable to support Quincy and his herdmate, Thistledown. She asked for our help to rehome them — an incredibly...
by Lily Leitkowski | Jul 17, 2025 | Alvaro
Alvaro’s ball was temporarily lost, but this week it made a reappearance, much to his delight. This guy is perfecting his technique ahead of the world cup, running drills every day now. His athleticism is something else, and his energy supply never seems to end. He’s...
by Lily Leitkowski | Jul 15, 2025 | Hayden, Tiva
The last time Tiva saw her filly, Hayden, was when she was weaned from her. The pair had been living in a stall, and when Hayden left for her fresh start at Care Fur Life, we did not anticipate that the pair would ever be in the same space again. But life moves in...
