Arionna Under Saddle
Since her start under saddle a few months ago, Arionna has been making steady forward progress. She’s been riding out of the roundpen, learning to tie, and wearing a bridle. All this while maintaining her sweet demeanor. She is a nice horse who is becoming an even…
Harissa is a Riding Horse!
Following months of preparation, we can officially say that Harissa is a riding horse! When we first met Harissa, we weren’t convinced she wouldn’t go for the jugular. She had a poor understanding of pressure, and could be quite dangerous to be around. We had moments…
Alumni Update: Moshi (Moxie)
Elle provided a three-month update August 18th on Moshi, now Moxie: We are almost through the dog days of summer down here in Alabama which means lots of cooling hose downs throughout the day, a bucket of SAFE’s famous “sweet water” every night with her dinner, and…
Fabulous Frida
While her filly gets a lot of (well deserved) screen time, we have to pay homage to Frida herself. As we round the corner on 6 months of Paloma, let’s take a moment to shout out the mare who gave us that little life. Frida is a strong personality, a fact we picked up…
Nova and Friends
Nova is still enjoying life over in Ellensburg, and we are continually grateful that her foster, Blair, continues to have both physical and emotional space for Nova to be the special mare she is. Here is an update from Blair: “R & B Ranch is happy to share that…

Alumni Update: Mesquite
Mesquite’s adopter Cory recently shared some thoughts on their relationship: Mesquite is ALL ARAB! A hot, opinionated, so extremely soft, Velcro, one-person horse. I love him more than anyone can know. I met and adopted him from SAFE as my friend when he was 11.…
Alumni Update: Remy
A SAFE Alumni volunteer recently visited with Remy and his adopter Jessica. Remy has been doing well. He and Soldier are companions together in hilly acreage, stalled briefly for grain; otherwise, live outside all summer. Stall will be available as needed when weather…
Sienna Under the Rainbow
As far as “things you’d hope to find under a rainbow” go, Sienna is right up there with a pot of gold. This mare is certainly a treasure! As SAFE’s current longest resident, Sienna is approaching 8 years with us. “From Feral to Friend” could be the title of her…
