Delilah Update from May 8 2010
Sampson is hilarious! He has decided he wants to be a racehorse when he grows up, and practices in his field as often as he can. He *loves* his ball and every time he notices it he races over to it to give it a bite or a kick or a shove. He is a big boy, even next to…
Lucky Update from May 8, 2010
Lucky is SUCH a sweet boy, with great manners, very neat and tidy in his stall. The LF leg is ugly, and he has a hard lump on his RH as well, just above the fetlock. He’s covered in bites and kicks from the other horses at the auction house. We took him out today for…

Rescue Stories: Super (Horse) Saver by Jet Parrett
My friend, Maeve and I talk about what we’d do if we won the lottery or hit it big at the track. Generally it’s a given that we’d pay bills and buy a farm. But what happens when you hit it ‘a little’ big at the track, like I did at the 2010 Kentucky Derby when I bet…

Deeds is back with SAFE now. He looks really good! Such a pretty boy!
Sinatra Update from May 1 2010
Sinatra has graduated from training! We are very proud of him! He’s done so amazingly well and really is a success story to be proud of, considering the state he came to us in 2 years ago. I picked Sinatra up today and brought him back to the farm, but tomorrow he…
Rocky Update!
Thank you to Rocky’s wonderful foster mom Kellie for this update on our boy! Rocky is gaining weight, as evidence by the picture (somewhat) and his medium blanket (which is now very tight). He is eating about 3+ flakes of hay at day. (We just keeping putting more in…
2014 Volunteer of the Year: Ann Amort
At the end of every year, SAFE looks back at all the great volunteers and has to make the difficult decision of who to recognize as Volunteer of the Year. We have so many people that give their time, energy, love, compassion, and support to SAFE. This past year we had…

More Nala photos
Ben has been identified…
We’ve checked Ben’s tattoo and discovered that he is a 2004 gelding named Babe Hoolihan, bred in Washington state, and raced twice as a three year old. (He came in dead last in both races, so obviously horse racing didn’t suit him.) In 2009, he was rescued from an…
Nala Intake Photos
We picked Nala up today from the Pierce Co Animal Control holding barn. She loaded into the trailer without a fuss, and made the successful trip to Poulsbo where she will begin working immediately with trainer Matt Olson. Here are her intake photos, along with video…
