Baby Time Approaches for Asha
Preparations have begun here at Safe Harbor Stables to welcome our three new foals into the world. Our three mothers-to-be became pregnant prior to their rescue, and while we are firmly on the side of responsible breeding to do our part in minimizing Americaāsā¦
Training Update: Roscoe
Roscoe is a nice gelding with great ground manners. He has been a champ on the trails and has learned to work well in the arena and respond to directions from legs, seat, and reins. Weāre pretty sure that Roscoe was ridden in his past but probably never anything moreā¦
August Training Update: Ben
Checking in with Lisa and Ben: Ben is doing so well! He is soft, tuned in to my feel, learning to pick up and carry a soft feel at the canter, and figuring out how to lift and shape himself around my leg on a gentle bend. This last piece was actually something I wasā¦
July Training Update: Ben
Checking in with Ben and Lisa!! Itās been very interesting getting to work with Ben every day, with no other horses on my roster. Iām able to get down to some nitty gritty details, get back to some Super Basics, and really work on some holes that I knew were in there,ā¦

Ru: Happy at Home
Hereās a lovely update from Ruās adopter, Sierra: I have had Ru for a week now, and he is settling in so well. I love this horse more everyday that heās with us, and everyday we make progress with his training and with our relationship. We are working hard to makeā¦
Remyās Rescue Story
to come
Getting to know Star
Star began his training today at SAFE. He definitely has some training in there, some typical late cut Arabian attitude, jumpy but comes back quickly, a sweet cuddly side and a āwalk all over you with my left shoulderā issue. He was a very good boy for his firstā¦
Back in the Saddle with Sienna
Sienna, like all the SAFE horses, had some time off this summer due to bad air quality caused by forest fires. But when the smoke had cleared and we started working horses again, Sienna presented with a left front lameness. It appeared to be an abscess but after itā¦
Piper Works on Steering
One of the ways to make sure Piper is following the riderās feel and not just the reins is to take the reins away! This young mare is growing up nicely. She is 15h now and still growing and filling out. She still has lots still to learn and change as she develops butā¦
Beauty Under Saddle?
Beautyās been enjoying the past year, settling into her life at SAFE. Her friend Jane has helped her become so much happier and relaxed around people. It is clear that Beauty has a riding history and sheās sound, so we thought we would see if she could be a ridingā¦
Alder is Adopted!
A wonderful family picked up Alder back in November. Halle, who is 16 years old, is the PERFECT energy match for this young adventurous boy. They are going to have a blast together and hopefully weāll see him at a few WASET shows in the future. The family is wonderfulā¦
SAFE Standards: Gelding Policy
It pays to be flexible when dealing with horses. But there is one thing that SAFE is not flexible about: our gelding policy. All colts and stallions coming into SAFE are gelded as soon as they are able to safely undergo the procedure. Among horse rescues, this policyā¦
