Venturo Growing Up
What’s black, white, and brown — err, we mean grey — all over? A four month old Venturo! Vinnie is proof that butterflies aren’t the only creatures capable of metamorphosis. It’s hard to believe that this little bay guy is now a not-so-little grey guy. From afar, it…

Groundwork with Eda
Eda is one smart cookie! This mare, while hesitant to be handled at first, has really settled into the routines and rhythms of life around SAFE. She picked up on the groundwork quickly, and while she did initially show some frustrations, it didn’t take her long to…
Zuri is Adopted!
As an older mare with particular needs, we weren’t convinced that Zuri wouldn’t live out her days at SAFE. So we are even more over the moon (over Neptune, if you will) to announce Zuri’s adoption! Her adopter Laura came looking for a companion for her older gelding,…
Brownie’s Third Ride
After receiving his first ride during the August Joel Conner clinic, Brownie moved at a pretty quick clip on his way to being a full blown riding horse. He’s still very green, but a pretty steady eddy so far! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HSC0fEu9_M
