Alumni Update: Zuri
Laura posted an update on Zuri October 9th: For all of you who know and cared for Zuri, just a sweet update. It always takes some time to get to know your four-legged friends. Zuri is such a strong independent character and at first, she wasn’t very attentive to…
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…
Pepper is Adopted!

Alumni Update: Mesquite

Theo Claus: A SAFE Christmas Story
It was Venturo and Alvaro who started the rumor. “Did you know Theo is Santa Claus?” To skeptical minds, the boys doubled down. “It’s true, me ‘n Vinnie saw him with a red hat on.” The story only gained embellishment from there, Alvaro taking point when it came to…
Supporting Frida
After the incredibly tough decision to let Paloma go, our hearts and efforts immediately turned toward Frida. We were faced with the difficult task of separating her from the filly she had so lovingly cared for and raised. Those of you who have been with SAFE through…
A Devastating Loss
It is with heavy hearts that we share the loss of our dear 6.5‑month-old filly, Paloma. After seven weeks of veterinary care, bodywork, and being surrounded by love and every healing intention, her body told us it was time to let her go. This has been an immeasurable…
Alumni Update: Karma
This is what Karma had to say when one of the Alumni Team volunteers visited. I am Karma and if I may say so myself, I am a real sweetheart. It is so easy to be sweet though, in my final home here in Graham. My meal service arrives 5 times a day consisting of yummy…
