ADOPTED!! by Susanne M

Bridgit originally came to SAFE in 2012, surrendered to SAFE along with another pinto filly named Jewel. Bridgit always had the sweetest disposition, and even 13 years later, she remained of the most interactive and affectionate mares to have ever come through SAFE’s gates.  Bridgit was adopted in 2017 and became a three generation horse, enjoyed by grandma, mom, and kids. Her adopter rode her extensively, and always had wonderful updates for us about Bridgit and her life. However, In 2025, circumstances unfortunately changed and brought Bridigt back to SAFE on the way to her next chapter.

In 2026, Susanne, a longtime supporter of SAFE and previous adopter, met Bridgit and fell in love. In summer of that year, Susanne adopted Bridigt, and gave the mare her next happily ever after!
