As part of our commitment to a lifetime of safety, we are here to support our alumni horses and their owners whenever needed.
It is with sadness and a very heavy heart that Edward’s adopter has asked us to welcome him back to SAFE. Shortly after adopting him, she experienced significant medical issues. Over the past several months, her focus has understandably needed to be on her health, and Edward has been cared for by her barn friends during that time.
More recently, she reached out to share more about everything she has been navigating personally and that she is currently unable to care for herself or Edward in the way she would want. After thoughtful discussion with staff, we feel that bringing Edward back to SAFE is the best option for his well-being and successful rehoming, while allowing his adopter to focus fully on her health.
Paige, who rode Edward prior to his adoption, will begin working with him over the next few weeks, gradually returning him to saddle and riding. Our hope is to find another wonderful adopter for Edward. This is especially bittersweet, as his adopter truly understood him, embraced all of his little quirks, and was a beautiful riding partner for him.
Edward is a kind, sensible horse who benefits from consistency and a thoughtful approach. As he continues to settle back into his routine, we’ll be assessing his progress and sharing more details about his training, suitability, and next steps in the adoption process. Edward is expected to be available to meet potential adopters in mid-February. If you’re interested in learning more about Edward or would like to schedule a visit once he’s ready, please submit an application now.
Thank you all for your understanding and support as we welcome Edward home. We will continue to support Edward’s training and focus on finding him his next loving home.
