Alumni Update: Kat
We received a sad update from Shar on July 31st: Catherine‘s beautiful post about Butters (on the Facebook SAFE Alumni page) gave me the nudge I needed to share with all of you that I lost Kat last month to colic. She was 27. Losing her crushed my heart. I miss her…
Alumni Update: Butters
We received an update from Catherine on July 31st: We said goodbye to Butters this morning. Though her spirits were as bright as ever, her hind end was weakening and unsteady. She was so very happy to get to amble and munch allllll the dewy, green grass today.…
Alumni Update: Piper
Talia and Ben just moved, with Piper and her pasture mate, Nova, to a new property this spring. There is a nice trail that leaves from their new place, crosses a creek and meanders the area. They each walk the trail leading the horses. No riding at the moment — Talia…
Cleo and Deja on Grass
There are many aspects of horse rescue that are rewarding, but one of the best feelings has to be seeing a horse, who you know was previously underfed, now turned out on grass looking happy (and perhaps even a bit on the fat side!) Cleopatra and Deja Vu are two such…
Alumni Update: Jasper
Alumni volunteer Lisa G recently visited with Jasper and his adopter. Jasper is absolutely thriving in the Olympic Peninsula farm life. This happy and healthy fellow gets to spend his days turned out with a TRULY mixed herd; his 2 mare pals, Poppy and Sodee, 4…
Haltering Progression with Winter
Winter had lived for a number of years out on pasture without being caught. She remained curious of humans, but wary of their intentions, especially when it came to anyone handling her in a way that wasn’t on her terms. We were able to get a breakaway halter on Winter…

Update from Lindsay Henderson, Nyx’s adopter: The last few days we took a couple SAFE alumni (Nyx and Echo) out on a group camp out at Silver Falls. They were both rockstars! Echo and Addison Cory bravely led the way much of the time. So cool to be a part of and to…
Jupiter’s Back
Do you want the good news or the bad news first? The good news is that at a recent lameness check back in early June, Jupiter was the soundest he’s ever been. Putting him on Equioxx, tacking on some front shoes, and legging him up has proven to be a tried and…

Alumni Update: Otto
Otto’s adopter, Gabby, had this update and photos to share. Otto is loving the crisp fall air He has grown and filled out SO much in the last year and a half, now standing 14.1 and just shy of 1000lbs. He loves to work his mind and body and is the most playful horse…
Alumni Update: Jewel
This little girl turned 13 on November 4th!! Also our gotcha day, Jewel has been with me for 7 years now. As you can see, Jewel has an affinity for mud and somehow manages to get her supplement mash all over her face. Not flattering in a photo with snow.
Week in Review: November 3 — 9
It’s November, and though the days have grown shorter in terms of light, they are as jam-packed as ever! Joel Conner was here last week for our last two-day workshop of the year, helping us identify our growth edges to work on this winter. The farrier was out for some…
