Alvaro is Adopted!
We met Alvaro last February as a mowhawked yearling, gangly and butt-high. When he first arrived at SAFE, he displaced our minis and spent his first few weeks living in ‘mini land,’ if that gives you an indication of his petite stature. He was playful, curious, and at…

Eda is sweet. Eda is smart. Eda is adopted! Eda, one of the horses seized alongside over 500 roosters in an animal control seizure early last year (what we refer to as the Valentine Herd), arrived at SAFE having just weaned her foal, despite being a youthful three…
