Phoenix Intake
Phoenix is one of 10 horses seized from a Carnation farm, 6 of which were taken in by SAFE. Phoenix was removed from the property immediately a day prior to the seizure as Dr. Evergreen, after examining Phoenix, felt that he may not last even another 24 hours at the…

Deeds Update from Feb 9 2008
Update from volunteer rider Lucy: Deeds was fun today … with all the windy weather, he brought out his get-up-and-go! I was really excited because today was the first time he really accepted contact (rather than being behind the bit). So it appears we are making…

Ginger & Sinatra = BFF
Ginger and lover boy Sinatra are joined at the hip. She was much more relaxed having a buddy in turnout. They were eatting this close the entire time. Two needy horses found each other and I mean both of them! I thought he wouldn’t leave her but SHE was stuck to him…
Congratulations to River & Jenny!
We are thrilled to announce that River has been adopted! If you’ve been following his story, you know that he went into training with Andrea Lucianna at Half Trak Farm, and after a bit of a slow start while this young horse gained his confidence, he graduated from…
Ginger update
Ginger is settling in pretty well at SAFE Harbor. She’s got some things to learn, but we’re taking it slow and making good progress. She came to us with bad dermatitis along her mane and tail dock that has to be treated, so she is learning how to take a bath. We’re…
