Introducing Inky
We welcomed our newest herd member to SAFE last week, a miniature horse gelding named Inky. Inky came to us by way of Pierce County Animal Control, and had a whirlwind first few days following his arrival. By his third day here, he was already up to date on his vet…

Marvelous Mahina
“If Mahina’s personality is any indication of what the Saddlebred breed has to offer—call me a fan. She’s continued to grow into a soft, gentle, and kind soul. Her drive to connect with people and fellow horses is something truly unique and special. Being around her…

Esme in May
“Little Ese-may-may has really matured over the last few months. She’s developed a more settled and relaxed disposition and has been very well-behaved. We had some soundness concerns with her right front, but with good shoes and some rest, she’s now looking…

Getting to Know Frida
We’re taking it slow with our mama-to-be! Our goal is to build trust and support her in bringing her foal safely into the world. We’ve already made incredible progress from those first interactions with this sensitive, protective mare. When we first met Frida and…

Jacob, King of Foster
At SAFE, Jacob had been training hard for the companion lifestyle, and we thought it was time for him to field test his skills at foster. As we suspected, he took right to it. It’s not always easy to find the best spots to nap or graze, but Jacob excels in this realm.…

Uncle Artie
Artie Shaw is worth his weight in gold. Actually, given that he’s not very large, let’s double that — triple, even, and that still might not be enough. While he has come quite a long ways under saddle and is going well as a solid little riding horse, you could argue…
