Ginger Goes Off To School!
We are so excited to announce that Ginger is off to a foster home and training with Kim Lacy, owner and trainer at Hidden Falls Farm in Arlington. This little mare has a special place in our hearts and by luck we found an amazing opportunity for her. Kim Lacy is a…
Kat Goes a Little Country!
We had a little dress up fun with Kat this last week and she looks amazing! Sara E., one of our fabulous volunteers, brought her western barrel saddle over to Safe Harbor for us to borrow. The western saddle is heavier than the English saddle that Kat had been using…

Pretty Ginger, enjoying life at Hidden Falls Farm!
September Volunteer of the Month: Carrie Gouldin
Carrie Gouldin came to SAFE at the perfect time: our new Barn Manager, Terry, needed some help to get the barn in order and to manage the horses during some vacation she had planned. Carrie was ready, willing and able to fill both of those needs, and she came to us…

Something new for Rosie
At SAFE, we realize that our horses have many different gifts to share. As we learn about who they are and what they are capable of, we find that their future may not be as a “riding” horse. Dear Rosie has had a lot of miles on her in the past and from what we can…
Ben: Training Update
Here is a wonderful training update from Lisa, Ben’s volunteer rider: Ben continues to amaze! When I broke my wrist in December and was forced to take a 3‑month hiatus from his training, volunteer rider Jolene took over, continuing his groundwork, re-introducing…
Can you love one a little too much?
Being “horseless” is a choice I have made. I work many long hours for SAFE and when I come home, my family needs me. I could not justify running off in my free time to ride my personal horse or spend the many hours a week I would want to spend with one. I don’t think…
Sierra: Training Update
Horses never cease to surprise and amaze me, both in their adaptability and intelligence. For the past 10 years, Sierra lived at the same farm with the same people and the same horse friend. So bringing her back into the rescue was undoubtedly going to be a bit of a…
Lacey: Training Update
Lacey, Lacey… Lacey… Where do I begin? To love horses you really have to accept everything about them. They have good and bad days; they have personalities and little quirks just like us. I think I will write this report like my teacher did in my parent-teacher…
Emmy: Joel Conner Clinic Update
This is what Sara had to say about her work with Emmy in the riding workshop with Joel: I have been working with Emmy for a while now, and can see how she has come along (with the work of many riders) since she came back to SAFE after her surgery and rehab. She has a…
