Background and History

Biscotti was born at SAFE out of a 5 year old black and white pinto Saddlebred mare named Hope (Registered name ā€œAcquiescenceā€) that was rescued from a large animal control seizure involving 9 other horses (plus 10 more in another county) in Carnation on February 22,…

Horsebytes Blog by Monica Bretherton: Photo Assistant

http://blog.seattlepi.com/horsebytes/2008/05/08/photo-assistant/ A gray new day is dawning…. And I’m not done with yesterday yet. But here are some pictures. Maid duty at SAFE is, well, a little repetitive, so when there’s a chance to accomplish two things at once,…

Phoenix Photos and Hock Swelling

Phoenix is doing great! The main concern with him right now is a little bit of a swollen left hind hock that I am keeping an eye on. I think he probably overexerted himself somehow. Other than that, he is doing really well and I took tons of hair off him yesterday. I…

Holly Update — May 5, 2008

Holly’s foster mom update: Holly and Emma got to go play in the big field for the first time. They had a great time running and playing. Although, Holly would rather eat the grass. She looks really good. I have not seen her come into heat yet. Emma has been in twice.…

Annie Update from April 28 2008

Our farrier tried again to get her back feet done — this is the 3rd or 4th time now she has worked with her and she is also an experienced trainer, but Annie is having none of it. She will let you brush her hind feet, but if you touch them with a bare hand, she will…

Sinatra Update from Apr 27 2008

Here’s our boy today, he is SUCH a ham but standing still for photos is not really his thing. I know it is hard to tell from these photos, but I actually see signs of a pretty horse emerging under all this hair. Right now though, he is still pretty homely looking:…

December Volunteer of the Month: Megan Wilson

December is such a festive month. There are so many reasons to be happy and so many things to celebrate. December Volunteer of the Month, Megan Wilson, is one of the reasons we’re celebrating this month! Megan has been volunteering at SAFE since April. She is at Safe…

Happiest holidays from Strider & Chip!

Strider had to leave his Monroe foster home with Sheridan and Austin with the onset of winter weather, since Sheridan’s barn has still not been rebuilt. We are so fortunate that our good friend Heather, who’s already fostering Chip, offered a place in her lovely barn…

A Home for the Holidays for Moonshine

Most of us have probably wished at one time or another for a pony under the tree on Christmas morning. Well Moonshine won’t be going anywhere near the Gable’s Christmas tree but he’ll be there in spirit as this wonderful family celebrates the holiday. It gives us…

Dottie update!

Dottie has had a bit of a rough time since the onset of colder weather, including a couple of scary bouts of colic. We had to call the vet out on one occasion but fortunately the colic resolved itself. We watch her closely and give her extra sloppy mashes and…

We knew this day was coming…

…so we won’t say goodbye, we’ll just say good luck!! It’s been our good luck and good fortune that Brittney Stewart has been part of SAFE over the course of 2013. And even though it’s time for her to move on so she can concentrate full time on B&D Sport Horses,…

A wonderful Cameo training update

It’s been a while since we’ve provided an update on Cameo’s progress in training, but it’s not because things haven’t been going well…quite the opposite in fact. Things with Cameo have been going SO well that we can hardly believe it. When we dropped Cameo off at…
