Inula’s Sunny Days
When you’re Inula, your main responsibilities in life are munching hay and grazing on the occasional blade of grass, imitating the horses at the Spanish Riding School and leaping with all four of your legs off the ground at once, and providing moral support to your…
Combating Brandy’s Thrush
As Carrie S says in this video, Brandy is a ‘yes’ girl. But that yes also translates to thrush, something Brandy is prone to especially in the wet winter months. Luckily, our friends over at Red Horse Products make some amazing thrush busting items that really help us…
Ranger’s Saddling at SAFE
If we were the betting types, we likely would have put money on the idea that Ranger had been saddled before. A gentle, older horse who doesn’t balk much at the flag touching him or get squirmy in the cinch area tells a story, wordless as it is. Yet even still, we dot…
Ciara at Foster
Sweet Ciara went off to foster this winter, at a lovely spot just down the road from SAFE. Her foster family had just lost their gelding, and were in need of a companion for their older mare. In the herd settings she had been tried with here, Ciara was an easy-going…
Winter’s Workout
We’re not body shaming, but when Winter arrived back in April 2024, she was in need of a diet. Being overweight as she was put Winter at risk for various health conditions, including laminitis, and so we cut her calories immediately upon intake. Now, nine months…

Sunny and Shasta go to Postdoc Brewing
Last Saturday, Sunny and Shasta hit the town to talk to the good folks over at Postdoc Brewing about SAFE. Well, they let their human handlers do the talking, but standing there looking cute is a full time job in and of itself! As always, the pair were perfect little…
Moshi in March
As Casey A, who works and rides Moshi says, “there’s a lot to love about Moshi.” “A few things that I really appreciate about her are that she’s pretty brave and confident, not a whole lot really bothers her. She hops right on the trailer, we’ve taken her off property…

Nova has had enough of this rain and Western Washington Weather –— she has temporarily relocated to the East Side to foster with Blair, Bijou, and Bear. Blair’s ‘R&B Ranch’ is already known to us as a phenomenal place to spend time (just asked Bijou, who loved it…

Trixie is Adopted!
Our favorite kind of failure is the foster kind. We could not be happier to announce that Trixie has been adopted from her foster home! She’s been spending the last half-year or so living her very best life alongside Alumna Rae, getting completely and utterly doted on…
