Alumni Update: Tilt (Korra)
Julie shared a milestone for Korra on August 18th: Another milestone for little Korra. We hauled out to new trails to ride with our farrier and her partner. Korra is TINY compared to the other horses on the ride so we did a whole lotta trotting to keep up. She was a…
Jacob at Foster — Again!
After a brief reappearance at SAFE, Jacob was off to foster again, showing what an adaptable (and still adoptable) guy he can be! While not without his quirks, Jacob makes a good companion to have around. He is not particularly herd bound, and has a goofy personality.…
Venturo and Alvaro, New Friends!
Do you remember the feeling of being a kid and getting to hang out with your older cousins around the holidays, or being allowed to tag along with your older sibling? How cool you felt, how much fun you had? We have to imagine that’s how Venturo is feeling this week…
Alumni Update: Orion
An update from Roxanne from August 1st: I wanted to share some photos of Orion being the best boy at Rebecca Farm in Montana this year. He finished 8th in a pretty zesty competitive division, with no jump or time faults for the weekend!
Zuri is Adopted!
As an older mare with particular needs, we weren’t convinced that Zuri wouldn’t live out her days at SAFE. So we are even more over the moon (over Neptune, if you will) to announce Zuri’s adoption! Her adopter Laura came looking for a companion for her older gelding,…
Brownie’s Third Ride
After receiving his first ride during the August Joel Conner clinic, Brownie moved at a pretty quick clip on his way to being a full blown riding horse. He’s still very green, but a pretty steady eddy so far! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HSC0fEu9_M
Alumni Update: Jill
Here are a couple of recent photos of Jill. She is living a good life with adopter Anna.
Alumni Update: Tabitha (Willa)
Willa now has a retired polo pony as a buddy/pasture mate. They are very comfortable together. Willa loves trail riding and has a big “Go” button.
Alumni Update: Zuri
Laura posted an update on Zuri October 9th: For all of you who know and cared for Zuri, just a sweet update. It always takes some time to get to know your four-legged friends. Zuri is such a strong independent character and at first, she wasn’t very attentive to…
Alumni Update: Moshi (Moxie)
Elle provided a three-month update August 18th on Moshi, now Moxie: We are almost through the dog days of summer down here in Alabama which means lots of cooling hose downs throughout the day, a bucket of SAFE’s famous “sweet water” every night with her dinner, and…
Fabulous Frida
While her filly gets a lot of (well deserved) screen time, we have to pay homage to Frida herself. As we round the corner on 6 months of Paloma, let’s take a moment to shout out the mare who gave us that little life. Frida is a strong personality, a fact we picked up…
Nova and Friends
Nova is still enjoying life over in Ellensburg, and we are continually grateful that her foster, Blair, continues to have both physical and emotional space for Nova to be the special mare she is. Here is an update from Blair: “R & B Ranch is happy to share that…
Pepper is Adopted!
Our fun, feisty, and fabulous Pepper has been adopted! After a brief return to SAFE, where she received a tune-up under saddle, Pepper was ready to meet adopters once more. When Liz met Pepper, she could feel it was a match, and told us that she felt very lucky to be…
Brownie Out and About
Brownie lives up to his name — he is a sweet guy. His progress under saddle has been smooth and steady, a relatively quick upward trajectory. Here you can see his first ride outside of the arena, his 5th ride overall. This dude is going places, sometimes at a lope!…
