Happy Trails, Scooter!
In February 2012, SAFE was contacted by Pierce County Animal Control about 16 horses seized from an Arabian breeder the previous November. SAFE rallied to the call for help, agreeing to take five of the horses, including two stallions. What we did not know at the time…

Khianna Update: Vet Day 6/14/2012
Khianna had her annual check up and was a very good patient. During her dental float Dr. DeWard confirmed the poor mouth conformation but noted that the last float did a good job in helping the issues he would have expected to see. He suggests a visual check in 6…

Bud Update
Bud’s been getting all kinds of attention recently. Last week he got his teeth floated & a sheath cleaning. This week he had a farrier visit and a bath! Since he hadn’t had a real bath we weren’t sure how he’d do with the hose so after he got trimmed today I hosed…

Rover Update!
Rov is a joy to our family and appreciated every day. All of the horses on the property love him and look after him like a little foal. And, my daughters have a ball with him even though they’re now too big to ride him.
Freedom at last!
Yesterday was another big day for Anakin! Following his eye doctor appointment and a sponge bath, he got to go out into his run for the first time ever! His exercise has been strictly controlled in order to keep him from burning too many calories, but the racehorse in…
An Appointment with the Opthomologist
While Anakin’s weight has steadily been improving since his rescue in early December, his left eye has become more and more cloudy. The pressure in the eye has been monitored by his veterinarians, and it was recommended that we have him examined by an equine eye…

Anyone who has ever owned a horse, ridden a horse, or even just spent time around horses knows just how much work goes into it. There’s no such thing as an easy day at a barn. Even mundane daily tasks take energy and effort. No one understand this more than SAFE. Safe…
