Sunny, thank you for the Sunshine
Sunny was nearly 30 years old when he came to SAFE, a badly neglected Arabian gelding with terrible teeth, an enlarged knee, and a tendency to choke. A diet of extremely wet mush made from beet pulp and senior grain helped him regain some of the weight he lost so that…

Gelding Day for Phoenix and Sinatra
Today was the day that Phoenix and Sinatra were turned into happy geldings. The procedure was done in the front pasture by Dr Hannah. …
Holly Update — July 18, 2008
Holly update from her foster mom: Holly is doing good. I have given her my TB gelding as a pasture buddy and that is working out good. At night they are brought into their own paddock and stall. I am in AZ taking care of my daughter, who just had surgery but I get…
Sinatra Update from July 14 2008 and July 17 2008
Sinatra was gelded today! All went well, although his recovery was a little wild. Then he was forced to stand and watch Phoenix have his brain surgery. We tried putting them in separate stalls, but they were having none of it so they are sharing one for now. [gallery…
Deeds Update from July 13 2008
Update from Deeds’ adopter, Kate: I have to gush about how amazed I am by this boy: Each day we’ve been taking little walks and just doing some getting-to-know-you stuff, grooming and so on. Last night, he was more than happy to just stand next to me while I chatted…

Misty Update from Lisa
We’re on a roll lately. Misty has been absolutely wonderful to ride and handle. Though she can still be a fruitcake on the lunge line (as Kyle witnessed when she came to shoot some video recently), she is really learning connection and trust with me — when she gets…
Moonshine Update
Moonshine was such a superstar at the Haunted Open House! His was the most involved costume of all the horses, and he handled it like…like…like he’d been wearing clothes his whole life. After the party was over, I took several more shots of him hanging out in his…
Dottie the Dragon!
Dottie wore a dragon costume for the Haunted Open House, and she was cute as a bug in her SAFE purple splendor! The base of the costume was a full hooded lyrca slinky, and Dottie was completely unfazed by having it put on her. In fact, once it was on, she seemed happy…
Meet “Trigger,” Roy Rogers’ famous steed!
Just kidding, it’s Phoenix. All the SAFE horses dressed up to celebrate Halloween at the Open House on October 27, and Phoenix’s costume was pretty easy… Here he is in all his palomino glory: Phoenix is…
We have a challenge grant to announce!!!
Our Fall Into Winter Feed Drive is in full swing, and so far the response from our wonderful supporters has been terrific! We are nearly half way to our goal of $15,000 by Nov 30…and it’s still October! That is pretty exciting! All the horses at SAFE are very…
Skye’s transformation!
You’ll often hear us say “it takes a herd to save a horse.” In Skye’s case, it is not a metaphor! In June, Dave Zanotelli and his daughter Julia offered to foster a SAFE horse. They are both very skilled at doing groundwork training and they were willing to take on a…
