Training Video and Update: Justin
Justin did very well while in training for 60 days with our friend Ben Hannan. He has a good personality and is easy to work with, both on the ground and in the saddle. His only issue is around cinching. Nothing too difficult but he will look back and try to nip at…

Training and Health Update: Remy
Just before Thanksgiving, Remy had a bit of a setback in his work. Everything had been going smoothly and progressing well. His trainer, Nick Donohue, had reported that he was coming along nicely, was a good citizen in turnout with the herd, and very sweet and gentle…
Adoption Announcement: Ben!
SAFE is so excited to announce that Ben’s adoption to long-time volunteer Lisa G is final! Ben and Lisa have developed an unbelievably strong bond and together have overcome many training obstacles. Ben only had a chance to be a riding horse if someone was willing to…
Adoption Announcement : Orion!
We knew he was a special boy right from the beginning but we never imagined that this “diamond in the rough” would become such a fantastic riding mount. Orion met Roxanne in his final weeks of training with Nick Donohue at Silver Spade Ranch. He had just completed a…
Adoption Announcment: Roscoe!
When Roscoe and Teddi arrived at SAFE, they had been mistreated and uncared for quite some time. As they gained weight, the life returned to their eyes showing us that trust can be earned no matter how horrible the past has been. Roscoe had some sort of riding history…
New Menu Item for Quincy
We have added Purina Topline Balancer to Quincy’s feed in an effort to develop his topline. The Purina contains more protein, but is still low in calories. We will be checking his progress at 30, 60 and 90 days.
Alumni Update: Vida
Vida’s adopter, Jo Ella, shared this sweet photo of the two of them in February. Jo Ella said Vida is her best friend and it doesn’t get any better than that!
Sienna is Looking Sleek
Sienna is what they call an easy keeper, or as her fans insist, “She’s just big boned!” We were giving her the minimum amount of hay that we could, but she still had some weight issues. The staff was stumped and even had her blood tested to see if something was wrong…
May Volunteer of the Month: Naveen Puli
We are excited to announce our Volunteer of the Month, Naveen Puli! He has been at SAFE since May 2019. Naveen is always ready to jump in, learn new things and lend a helping hand. We are so grateful to have him on our team of volunteers. How and when did you first…
Topline for Teddy
Teddi looks like a horse in her 20s and is only 9 years old. We have recently started Teddi on Nutrina Topline Balancer which contains more protein, but is low in calories. We will see if this helps her develop her topline a little better. We will be checking her…
Cyrus is Adopted!
We could not be more thrilled to announce that Cyrus is adopted! We hit the jackpot with his adopter and we could not be happier. Carol and Jim came to SAFE a few months ago to look for a friend for their riding horse, Nitro. Sadly, they had recently lost their…
