Happy news — Tulip has been adopted! There is so much to love about Tulip, from her kind and easy-going demeanor to her copper-penny coat, and her to-be adopter felt the same way. She came out to meet Tulip several times, and spent lots of time learning about her. We require a visit for an adoption, of course, but love when people take their time to ensure it’s a match!
Another way we try our best to guarantee a successful forever home for our horses is by sending them out on an adoption trial. As occasionally happens, Tulip took a moment to settle into her new life and environment. For this exact reason, it is our official policy when adopting horses out to offer a 30-day trial period to ensure that both horse and human have time to acclimate to their new routines and spend time getting to know one another in a different environment. If at any point during that trial it’s determined to not be a good fit, the horse can return to SAFE. This time period helps to alleviate some of the stress of taking a new family member home, and was exactly what the doctor ordered for Tulip. At the end of the (30) day, Tulip’s adopter and her pasture mate had fully integrated into a happy herd.
Tulip, now known as Tori, is living her best life in happy retirement to another mare, and receiving the best care and attention a girl could ask for with her new human. Congratulations, Tulip! We are so happy for you!
