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…

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…

Alumni Update: Po & Ladigo — BFFs
Po and Ladigo, in addition to being near twins in appearance, are also inseparable. Po, who was always playing second fiddle to the large and in charge Bridgit, has found his voice with his new buddy, and is the head mini in charge! He is coming out of his shell more…
Sienna is Adopted!
We are thrilled to share that after 8 years at SAFE, our sweet Sienna has found a family to call her own! Debbie and Peter reached out shortly after the heartbreaking loss of their beloved SAFE alum, Pomme. Despite their dedicated care, Cushing’s eventually took its…
