Hi, Barbie!
It’s Barb(ie)‘s world, and we’re just living in it! This little mare is full of big personality. She is adventurous, spunky, and brave. Batteries not included — or needed, she’s powered by hay! …
Welcome to the World, Paloma!
On May 9th, just as the clock rolled over, at 12:31AM, Frida welcomed her filly, Paloma Isabel into the world. Her birth was fast and without complications. We were then waiting for the 1–2‑3 guidelines: standing within one hour, nursing within two, and the placenta…
Wednesday and Venturo at Foster
Wednesday is raising her colt out at foster, where the daily grind looks like this. Oh, to be a young horse with the zoomies!
Three Months with our Silver Rose
This big-hearted mare has become comfortable with grooming, vet visits, and farrier care. She loves coming into her stall each night for dinner. In addition to all-day turnout in her paddock, a few times a week she gets to let loose and play in the arena. She’s an…
Getting to Know Eda
We’re excited about this lovely mare! Eda was the last member of the Valentine Herd to join us at SAFE. During our first interactions, she was cautious — testing her safety around us, reacting jumpily to touch, and showing signs of anxiety when she felt confused or…

Hi, Hayden!
Our newest intake, Hayden, may be new to SAFE, but her connection to us is about as old as she is. For the last three years, Hayden has been learning and growing and receiving phenomenal care at Care Fur Life, but before that, she was living in a stall alongside her…
Groundwork with Maisy
Not a whole lot will be expected of Maisy as she continues to grow, but she has begun her early forays into learning the ropes (literally) to set her up for success. Here she has her first experiences with the flag, the rope, and getting the hang of her hindquarters.…
Alvaro, Gelding!
A few months ago, we had a double feature gelding planned for both Mateo and Alvaro to make the switch on the same day, and while things do sometimes go as planned, this was not one of those times. Our vets were not confident they felt a second testicle on Alvaro,…
Frida and Paloma to Foster
Big enough to make the trip, last week Paloma shipped off to foster up in Arlington at the lovely Pacific Moon. Mom Frida was along for the ride too, of course, and will raise her filly out on lovely pasture. The pair join Wednesday and Venturo, and if everything goes…
Happy Birthday, Rojo!
Our sweet Rojo donkey recently snorted out the candles on his 16th birthday cake! This handsome fellow is living the good life in foster at Jackie’s Slacker Camp™ with his good friend Sparky and the rest of her marvelous menagerie. We will see both Rojo and Sparky…
Alumni Update: Willow
Willow is now 22 years old and enjoys ruling over 10 acres of pasture with her companion horse. She also supervises a company of sheep who help fertilize the 10 acres. She has a nice shelter to tuck in if she chooses and she gets blanketed when the winter gets too…
