Inky is Adopted!
When a cute guy like Inky comes through SAFE, we know that he won’t stick around for long. His petite stature coupled with his sweet personality made Inky a hot ticket item — as soon as he got up to date on his vet and farrier and passed his intake quarantine, the…
Alumni Update: Harley
Elouise and Harley continue to do horse agility and compete through the International Agility club and have been doing very well at competitions. Harley and Elouise are definitely a very bonded team. Elouise is now learning to ride but is using another horse that is…
Edward is Adopted!
Back in 2021, Edward arrived at SAFE alongside his friends Jacob and Esme. The trio had been adopted from an orphan foal rescue by a family that was not equipped to care for them. On intake, Edward was suffering from equine asthma, and as a result was incredibly thin.…
Alumni Update: Jewel and Tilt (Korra)
Julie updated us on how both Jewel and Tilt, now Korra, are doing. Jewel is 13 now! She is doing well but still has issues with being saddled. I have been able to saddle her on and off but I just get about half a dozen rides on her before she freaks out again. Since…
Groundwork with Mateo
Since his gelding, Mateo has been waiting out some of his excess testosterone — or rather, we have been waiting for some of his studly behaviors to lose some of their potency. As a result, we have kept Mateo’s working sessions short and sweet, but this smart guy will…
Moshi is Adopted!
Tremendously exciting news: Moshi has been adopted! The match between Moshi and adopter Elle was about as perfect as it could be — they fit one another so well in so many ways, and when Elle told us she wanted to move forward, we couldn’t have been happier. Before her…
Mabel Under Saddle
Casey A recently put the first (at SAFE) rides on Mabel, and has been riding her since. Here’s what she has to say about how it’s going: “Mabel’s restart under saddle has been going quite smoothly. She is comfortable with a rider, though she does have some anxiety…
Alumni Update: Biscotti (Rowdy)
Biscotti/Rowdy looks great. The family recently moved to a larger property with more pasture space and a nice barn. He shares his pasture with a young mare and an older gentleman who both look well cared for. Nearby is a pig who roams the property and has made herself…
Alumni Update: Nyx
Nyx is enjoying life with his adopter Lindsay and his Haflinger buddy named Squish. He and Squish get along very well.
Arionna’s First Saddling
Behind her white eyelashes, Arionna’s eyes have a soft, thoughtful quality. For the past several months, she has been put through her groundwork paces, and recently hit a big milesone: wearing a saddle for the first time. Arionna tends towards the ‘sticky’ side, and…
Volunteer Appreciation Party 2025
We can’t say enough good things about our volunteers! At our recent volunteer appreciation party, we recognized the countless hours served, the literal ‘tons’ of hay and water dished out to sweet, hungry horse bellies, and the over 1,000 lbs (!!!) of cleaned per day…
Alumni Update: Nyx
Lindsay provided an update on August 19th: Just dropping in to say hi from me and Nyx! We just got home from a fun time at sheep springs horse camp. Nyx has a rough time with flies in the summer (and this summer has been a doozy for flies around our neck of the…
Arionna’s First Rides
This big, beautiful mare had her first rides this week, and did very well! She’d had several months of preparation, and all that groundwork set her up for success. Because she leans more on the ‘duller’ side of things, the focus for her rides was free forward…
Alumni Update: Blanche (Joule)
We recently received an update from Blanche’s (Joule’s) adopter, Elissa: Joule’s first year with us has been an absolute joy. She settled right in with our older gelding, her youth complementing his wisdom nicely. Both horses are friendly with our four little goats as…
