More Misty news, now with video!
From Misty’s foster: A few photos of Misty in case a potential adopter wants to see. One has her ribbons from the show on her back. 🙂 I also took a quick walk/trot/canter video each way this AM before bringing her back to SHS. It isn’t the best (my husband hobbled…

Dexter at the SAFE Show
Dexter has spent the past year in the care of Kyle Putnam, who has been fostering him at her barn and working with him under saddle. Dexter is nothing if not a challenge, and Kyle has had her work cut out for her. But we were all amazed at his performance this weekend…
Misty at the SAFE Show
Our good friend Amy Hagstrom made us a very generous offer last month…she took Misty to her home and worked with her under saddle and in hand for a month in preparation for the SAFE Show. Amy’s hard work with this lovely young mare was showcased this past weekend as…
A message from Volunteer Coordinator Debi Shatos
I am celebrating the one year anniversary of my job as Volunteer Coordinator. In that year, I have been incredibly moved by the quality of people who choose to give their time and energy to SAFE. Every time I put the call out for help, our dedicated volunteers answer…

Foster Update: Rocky
Update from Rocky’s foster mom Kellie: Just wanted to let you know that Rocky is still doing very good. He is eating most of his meds (7/8th???) and I’m seeing only a few hay “balls” with the orchard grass hay. I think it is softer for him to chew. His weight is…
Foster Update: Banjo and Finn
Here are some great photos of Finn and Banjo (aka “Joey”) and their foster parents Carrie and Derek. They are taking wonderful care of these two boys. We are so lucky to have wonderful fosters to care for and love our companion horses! [gallery link=“file”…
Sophie: Baby is growing up!
Sophie had her first dental float this week! We were able to confirm that she is coming four years old this year. One baby cap came off during the float and one wolf tooth was extracted with no trouble. She needs a little work with needles for sedation but wasn’t too…
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,…
Health Update: Emmy
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…
