Our newest intake, Hayden, may be new to SAFE, but her connection to us is about as old as she is. For the last three years, Hayden has been learning and growing and receiving phenomenal care at Care Fur Life, but before that, she was living in a stall alongside her mom, Tiva. Yes, you read that correctly: Hayden is Tiva’s filly! We think we see some serious resemblance in her face, but it would appear that she gets her dark color and luscious locks from her dad.
Hayden learned all her good horse citizen basics at Care Fur Life, and in fall of last year was sent to training to get started under saddle, where she had 90 days put on her and was, and we quote, “a joy to have in the barn.” The nice folks at Care Fur Life reached out to us with the hopes we might have leads on any potential adopters for green horses, as they did not have a way to continue with her work under saddle on site. After talking things through, we decided that the best option would be a swap. They came out to meet some of our companions, and together we determined that the best option would be for them to take both Cleopatra and Deja Vu (more on that to come!)
While we are still getting to know her, Hayden has so far been a total pleasure to have at SAFE. For only being three and a half, she is a mellow and relaxed young lady — a testament to the great start she got at Care Fur Life — and we are looking very much forward to bringing her into the fold of our training program!
