Happily Ever After for Rella, Jefa, TeSelle, and Emery
The story of the four minis — Rella, Jefa, TeSelle, and Emery — is really like a modern day fairy tale. The quartet were rescued from a sad situation back in January, and spent the first part of the year with us, receiving long overdue medical care and learning how to…
Alumni Update: Ciara and Inula
Ciara and Inula are both doing well, living a nice life with their pasture mate, CJ, and adopter, Eric. Patience is required to halter Inula for trimming or vet check-ups, but Eric wins her over with his gentle ways. He loves all his animals and knows them as…
Wednesday Wears a Saddle
Wednesday’s first saddling at SAFE was a mellow affair. Wednesday herself is a pretty mellow gal, so it was perhaps not too big of a surprise, but still a very pleasant reality for us. We will continue to work Wednesday on the ground to prepare her for her first…
Alumni Update: Moshi (Moxie)
Moxie is now about 9 years old and doing fantastic. She continues to flourish and has really gotten into a groove in Alabama. She is very vocal, greeting everyone coming into the barn with a whinny and letting the other horses know she HAS MOXIE! Elle has started…
Brownie is Adopted!
Sweet news: Brownie has found a home! Tom came to SAFE looking for a horse he could grow and learn alongside, and met Brownie, who fit his bill to a T. The two hit it off, with Tom visiting the handsome pinto several times so they could really get a feel for one…

This Barbie is Adopted!
In 2019, we met this Barbie for the first time. Back then, she was a filly, running feral as part of the Fall City 40, malnourished and lacking in basic care. At SAFE, Barb got several fresh starts – halter and saddle included. During her time with us and over many…
Alvaro Wears a Saddle!
Over the last 12 years, we have saddled (or re-saddled) over 130 horses here at SAFE. As the saying goes, the Trojan Horse wasn’t saddled in a day, and the same is true for the vast majority of our herd. Each and every horse is put through their groundwork paces…
Alumni Update: Shortbread and Whisky
We caught up with Shortbread and Whisky in early March. At age 24 and 26, these two little cuties continue to live the good life with Sherrie and Richard. Sherrie ran a fence to divide their grass pasture in half, allowing them more pasture time for grazing and…
