Versatile Barb
Barb is fun, and Barb has fun. Barb says ‘no problemo’ to flags and ‘sure, why not’ to popping over a cavaletti. Barb has a great deal of sass and appreciates those who can take a joke, but when you laugh along with her, she is a willing and cool little partner.…
October Joel Conner Clinic Report: Ranger
Lise A worked alongside Ranger in the October Joel Conner clinic. While he has made lots of great progress in this style of groundwork, he still has some insecurities surrounding fly spray. Over the course of the three days, Lise worked a lot on helping Ranger grow…
Maisy in the Round Pen
We’re keeping things easy breezy with our miss Maisy, as she is still a growing girl. She comes in for groundwork sessions a few times a week where she gets her wiggles out and learns a bit more about giving to pressure and what a halter means. Here’s a recent video…

Alumni Update: Karma
This is what Karma had to say when one of the Alumni Team volunteers visited. I am Karma and if I may say so myself, I am a real sweetheart. It is so easy to be sweet though, in my final home here in Graham. My meal service arrives 5 times a day consisting of yummy…

Bridget Back at SAFE
Changes in her family circumstances necessitated Bridget’s return to SAFE, where we would be able to best support her in the search for a new home. Quickly, Bridget cemented herself as a volunteer favorite. With her sweet disposition and welcoming nickers, it isn’t…
Artie is Adopted!
We have a very exciting announcement to make: Artie Shaw has been adopted! We’ve all loved Artie for so long, holding our breath as he transformed into the sweet, willing gelding he is today. To say “hours of work” went into him is a serious understatement—his journey…
Alumni Update: Heidi
Heidi’s adopter, Kristina, posted an update on October 10th: Heidi was rescued by safe in 2007. We’ll be celebrating 18 years together this November. She always cracks me up because she pretends to be independent and acts like she doesn’t want attention, but as soon…
