When nice things happen to nice horses!
Sure, SAFE is all about the horses. They’re the reason we do what we do. Their beauty moves us, their stories captivate us, and their spirits lift us. “The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse’s ears.” We hear these words, and we don’t have to look too…
Looking good, Mr Pibb!
Mr Pibb is thriving in his new home! Thank you to his mom Laura for these gorgeous photos!!

Fire update
An update from Fire’s adopters! Hi, just a quick update on Fire. We had our farrier out on Friday, 6/29 for both Jack and Fire. Fire was just super for the farrier. He stood quietly and Teri, our farrier was very impressed with his good manners. We decided on just a…
Misty at the Hollywood Hills Saddle Club Dressage show
Misty and Aiden competed today at the dressage show at the Hollywood Hills Saddle Club. Misty is 4 years old and has only been under saddle for 5 months, but you wouldn’t know it from the way she handled this new experience. She was a superstar. We couldn’t be prouder…
Goodbye, Bud.
We said goodbye to our dear old friend Bud today. Bud was in his mid-30s and his health was starting to decline, so we made the difficult decision to let him go before his condition started getting worse. He passed away quietly and peacefully, surrounded by people who…

Rocky: New Photos and Heath Update
We had a nice visit last week with SAFE horse Rocky at his foster home. Jessica Farren was able to come along and took some beautiful photos of Rocky. He has really come a long way from the frightened and pained horse that SAFE took in over a year and half ago. His…
February Volunteer of the Month: Melinda Merryman
Every volunteer that helps at SAFE does important work. Without our volunteers SAFE would not be able to accomplish as much as it does. All of them are incredible people but sometimes our volunteers go above and beyond what is asked. Melinda is one of the above and…
Aubrey: Health Update
Dr. McCracken came to examine Aubrey and check her soundness to see if she could be a light riding horse. After palpating the front leg she determined that the bow tendon is very old, so there is no point in ultrasounding it. Dr. McCracken confirmed that Aubrey has…
A Great New Life for Maggie!
For SAFE horse Maggie, the road to her forever home has been a long one. This mustang pony mare was gathered out of a Nevada BLM roundup in 1995, so by our estimation she’s about 22 years old. We know very little about her life before coming to SAFE but there’s pretty…
New shoes for Phoenix!
