Zan at the SAFE Show!

A big thank you to volunteer Lara B for riding Zan at the SAFE show. They made a lovely pair! Here’s Lara’s report on her weekend with Zan: When we entered the dressage ring on Saturday, I’d only ridden Zan a handful of times. I found her to be an uncomplicated and…

Louie at the SAFE Show!

Louie stuck to in-hand classes due to some back soreness issues but was quite the gentleman all weekend.  He placed 2nd in Halter and was very brave going through the trails class.  He was sweet and even tempered and charmed everyone who met him.   [gallery…

Lola at the SAFE Show!

Another big thank you to our incredible trainer, Heather Roe, who showed Lola and Louie at the SAFE show. Heather has been working with all the SAFE horses under saddle at SAFE Harbor, and her hard work really paid off as every one of the SAFE horses was a star at the…

Heath Update: Anakin

After six months in our care, we’re reaching the final stages of Anakin’s rehabilitation. Dr. McCracken came out Monday to do a dental float and give him his vaccines. Unsurprisingly, Anakin does not have the world’s greatest teeth…there was bad ulceration but he…

May Volunteer of the Month: Sara Sluszka

When horses come to SAFE, they are often suspicious and fearful. In many cases, their hard lives have left them mistrustful of humans. It takes patience, sensitivity, timing, and powerful observation skills to bring them out of their hurtful pasts and into a healthy,…

This week we brought Emmy home from winter turnout at foster. We had a lameness evaluation done on Tuesday (video posted below) and sadly, she is still slightly off on the right hind. The time off has helped her some, but there is clearly something still bothering…
