Week in Review: November 10 ā 16
Another week has passed at SAFE, and with it we are already halfway through November! The weather is changing (re: darker, colder) but as always, the varied personalities of the horses and the busy, busy days around the barn keep us warm. Check out what we got up toā¦
Alumni Update: Tasara
Tasara is a very healthy and happy horse. She is very affectionate and loves to turn her back end to you and get scritches. Tasara has a favorite rooster companion and they stay close to each other in and out of the barn. Sherri does not ride anymore but does takeā¦
A Gentle Start: Cooperās Path to Trust and Comfort
Weāre just getting to know Cooper and working to assess his personality as we prepare him for halter training. Upon arrival at SAFE, he showed signs of soreness, and unfortunately, he seems to have a soundness issue. Because he isnāt halter-trained yet, we havenātā¦
October Joel Conner Clinic Report: Tiva
November 2022. Itās day 2 of clinic, and halfway through class Joel has me switch horses. I had been working with Cramer, gentle giant, and heās responsive and floaty on the end of my line. āTerry,ā Joel calls, āgo get her Tiva.ā I had brought Tiva into theā¦
Alumni Update: Sophie
An update from Sophieās adopter, Julie: I donāt know that Iāve ever posted an update here about Sophie but as we come off an incredible year of learning, effort, and new commitment to our journey, it seems fitting. Grateful doesnāt begin to describe it. Some of youā¦
Helping Horses With Gifts of Stock

Jāaime bien, Deja Vu
Deja Vu is āseen beforeā in French, that sensation of having experienced an event, even if it is completely novel. But working with this mare is entirely unique each time, no sense of a ābeen there, done that.ā Well, some sense of having been there, since we do notā¦

Montanaās adopter, Alycia, shared this update. I wanted to reach out with a Montana pic and update. I captured this photo as he ran up the pasture after his new bestie, Mikey. Montana has settled well into his routine here and is building warm relationships andā¦
Ginniās Favorite: Artie
Artie has been one of Ginniās favorites for years, and here she talks about some of the reasons why.
Inulaās Sunny Days
When youāre Inula, your main responsibilities in life are munching hay and grazing on the occasional blade of grass, imitating the horses at the Spanish Riding School and leaping with all four of your legs off the ground at once, and providing moral support to yourā¦
Combating Brandyās Thrush
As Carrie S says in this video, Brandy is a āyesā girl. But that yes also translates to thrush, something Brandy is prone to especially in the wet winter months. Luckily, our friends over at Red Horse Products make some amazing thrush busting items that really help usā¦
Rangerās Saddling at SAFE
If we were the betting types, we likely would have put money on the idea that Ranger had been saddled before. A gentle, older horse who doesnāt balk much at the flag touching him or get squirmy in the cinch area tells a story, wordless as it is. Yet even still, we dotā¦
Ciara at Foster
Sweet Ciara went off to foster this winter, at a lovely spot just down the road from SAFE. Her foster family had just lost their gelding, and were in need of a companion for their older mare. In the herd settings she had been tried with here, Ciara was an easy-goingā¦
