Mateo Makes a Choice
We tried the ‘choose a paper’ challenge with Mateo recently. In the end, turns out you can have your cake and eat it too! https://youtube.com/shorts/LJp3nFyP3D4 Mateo has been doing great, making good choices as he grows in his skills on the ground. He is well…
Bandit’s Recent Trim
Bandit was on her best behavior for her farrier appointment last week, and was a bit cheeky as well! For a long while, Bandit was very guarded about having her hind legs handled. She has evidence of an old injury, and perhaps because of this, she would often react…
Arionna Under Saddle
Since her start under saddle a few months ago, Arionna has been making steady forward progress. She’s been riding out of the roundpen, learning to tie, and wearing a bridle. All this while maintaining her sweet demeanor. She is a nice horse who is becoming an even…
Harissa is a Riding Horse!
Following months of preparation, we can officially say that Harissa is a riding horse! When we first met Harissa, we weren’t convinced she wouldn’t go for the jugular. She had a poor understanding of pressure, and could be quite dangerous to be around. We had moments…
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…
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…
Po’s Story
After his human’s family circumstances changed, Po (formerly known as Oreo) made his way to SAFE alongside his mare friend, and alumna, Bridgit. The pair came for a temporary stay, the intention being to assist their former owner in rehoming them both. While it was…
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…
