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…

Getting to Know Eda

Nova’s Summer
Nova’s life at foster during the summertime is pretty sweet. Blue skies, western Washington winds, good friends, and a foster mom who meets this complex mare where she’s at each day. Life is easier some days for Nova than for others. Earlier this year when Bijou went…
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…
