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…

Buckwheat update

Great update on Bucky!!  He can be a bit of a woolly mammoth so foster mom Krissy clipped him to make him more comfortable. Doesn’t he look great? ā€œWe are having the best best best time with Buckwheat!  He has a nice new hair cut and is feeling better than ever! He…

Another update from Brandii Bask

Training update: Anderson

Anderson is one BIG love bug! If he could, I believe he would come into the house and snuggle up on the couch with me. This big puppy has a giant heart. It’s been a joy to be around him during his journey to becoming a riding horse. He has a very smart and strong…

We are so pleased to announce that Mesquite has been adopted! This handsome and talented boy has truly made an amazing transformation. Less than eight months since arriving at SAFE as an unstarted stallion, Mesquite is now a well-adjusted good citizen with loads of…

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 ā€œballsā€ with the orchard grass hay. I think it is softer for him to chew. His weight is…

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…
