Declan is doing great at the top of a “mountain” in Granite Falls. It is about 1100 feet elevation, cold and beautiful. He is hanging out with Sue’s (his adopter) other horse Cal and having a great time. Lovely 20 plus acre farm with plenty of action going on and…

Jacob In His Own Words

Jacob In His Own Words

If Jacob were a human, we think his self-introduction might go something like this: “What’s up, my name’s Jacob, and I put the ‘nut’ in ‘chestnut.’ Ha-ha-ha, just kidding. I actually like to describe myself as a pretty chill dude. My fave hobbies include hanging out…

Ranger’s Saddling at SAFE

Ranger’s Saddling at SAFE

If we were the betting types, we likely would have put money on the idea that Ranger had been saddled before. A gentle, older horse who doesn’t balk much at the flag touching him or get squirmy in the cinch area tells a story, wordless as it is. Yet even still, we dot…

Riding Ranger

Riding Ranger

Lexee N has been working Ranger, preparing him for saddling and his first rides. Here’s what she has to say: “Ranger is an older guy with still a lot of life to give. When I first started to work him, he was stuck straight and walking himself lame with his imbalance.…

Alumni Update: Dottie

Alumni Update: Dottie

SAFE Alumni volunteers recently paid a visit to Dottie and her adopter Karmin. Dottie is looking great, she’s at a good weight and was friendly when we visited, asking for lots of scratches and moved so we could reach all the areas that had an itch. She doesn’t lie…
