Skittles is going very well under saddle in both walk and trot. She has shown on two different occasions that she is a very level headed horse by not overreacting to noises or other horses acting up in turnout next to the arena while she was being riden. I wouldn’t...

Over the past few months, SAFE has been helped by some pretty amazing kids who have used their talents and effort to help horses in need. We’d like to share their stories with you for two reasons: one, because it feels good, and two, to inspire others looking for...
