Week in Review: December 1 — 7
The first week of December is over. It has been a busy end to fall (and can you believe it’s still fall? The winter temperatures say otherwise). Last week, our vet was here for quite a few imaging appointments. She also worked in conjunction with our farrier to help…
Alumni Update: Jupiter (Apollo)
From Jupiter’s adopter, Marissa: Adoption Day! So, so, so incredibly grateful for every single SAFE member who poured their time, energy and love into Jupiter, now known as Apollo. He is amazing, and that is because of you!! This journey has begun.
Jupiter is Adopted!
Jupiter has been adopted! Jupiter’s story is one of patience. After arriving at SAFE, being gelded and restarted under saddle, Jupiter had quite a bit of interest. A handsome cremello with a kind personality, what’s not to love? But some soundness issues cropped up,…
December Volunteer of the Month: Kim Boase
Congratulations to Kim Boase, our December Volunteer of the Month! For almost two years, Kim has been an integral part of the SAFE community, dedicating her time and heart to the Tuesday PM Chore Team. Rain or shine, hot or cold, in the bright light of day or the dark…
Marvelous Moshi
Casey A has been working and riding Moshi for the last several months, and has the following to say about bringing this cute pony along: “Moshi is turning into an incredibly fun partner. She is great to work around on the ground, stands tied, loads onto the trailer no…
Domino and Oreo are Adopted!
What’s black and white and read all over? Domino and Oreo – and their adoption announcement! Telling you that one of the SAFE horses has been adopted is always such a joy, and that joy is only compounded when we get to say that not just one, but two horses, have found…
Alumni Update: Addie
Addie was originally adopted so that Nicole’s daughter, Maddie, could participate with her in her Washington State High School Equestrian Team events. However, while Addie seemed to enjoy the cutting event she attended, she did not take to all the down time in a small…

Mabel’s Mouth
Back in September when she first arrived, we knew Mabel was unique. From her tiger striped legs to her multi-colored mane to her one cloudy eye, Mabel has things that made her special wherever you look. And at her dental, we would come to find out that those unique…
Theo: SAFE’s Volunteer Valentine Sweetheart
In honor of Valentine’s day, we asked our volunteers to vote for their SAFE horse valentine, and to tell us why. While the majority of our herd has at least one heart in their corner, there was one stand out member who has clearly won over the bulk of our volunteer…
Eye-yi-yi!
Oh horses! Look away for a moment and they’ve found a new and inventive way to hurt themselves. Yesterday at turn-in time, Mirana showed us her cool new injury — a scrape just below her left eye. She was talented enough to avoid the eyeball itself, but regardless the…
Week in Review: February 2 — 8
It snowed at SAFE last week, which meant more work for our humans, but also more fun for our horses. In an effort to keep the herd from getting stir crazy, we made sure to give them some extended arena turnout time, which they all seemed to enjoy.
Quirky Deja
Deja is what you might call, in layman’s terms, a silly goose. When she is in her space with her friend-sister-mother Cleopatra, aka, comfortable, she is a mellow sight — a mare who can nap for hours in the sunshine and who enjoys mutual grooming. But once removed…
Mara’s Favorite: Zuri
Mara has recently started grooming Zuri, and here she talks about a few of the reasons why this mare is so special:
