Holly — pending adoption!
Holly has had quite a bit of interest in her (no surprise there). Merle’s been understandably picky about where her Holly will go, but we think we may have found a great home for her. Pending adoption!

One of our volunteers, Debi, has a small boarding facility in Clearview and she has a Parelli instructor named Michael Sparling come to her barn and do clinics. She spoke to Michael about Dexter and he agreed to work with Dexter at no charge to SAFE. Here’s a…
Corona Update April 3 2011
Corona is doing well, but still not completely healed. He remains very tolerant for his treatments, however. He is also doing something we have seen with a few starved horses, where they come in with a thick winter coat with a top layer of really long, wiry guard…
Romeo — April 3
Romeo is doing very well after his castration, and tolerating his forced exercise well. Dr. Hannah reports he is still somewhat agitated and pacing in his stall, which is actually helping keeping the swelling under control. That should go away in a couple more weeks…
Sinatra — April 3
Sinatra has been lunged the last several days to see if his lameness issue got any worse, and to make it more easy to detect with nerve blocks because it was very mild at best and not sensitive to hoof testers and not positive on a flexion test. So far, he has…
Zan Update — April 3
Zanadu was a popular girl this weekend, having two potential adopters come and meet her this weekend. She has been a little grouchy lately on the ground, not sure if it is related to coming into heat or what. She’s fussy and overly sensitive about being groomed…

Einstein is a 15 year old Quarter Horse gelding seized by Animal Control for lack of care. He’s already gained about 50 pounds since he was taken from his home, and he’s starting to shed his scruffy starvation coat. His hooves are going to need a lot more care as they…
Kai Training Update
Kai is doing “amazing well” during his tuneup training with Joel Conner. We couldn’t be happier with his progress and how soft, relaxed, and balanced Joel has him going. Take a look at these fun photos of Kai getting accustomed to a rope being thrown from the saddle…

Lucky in Love
Obviously, adoptions are special to us…nothing makes us happier than being able to announce that one of the SAFE horses has found a home. But every so often, an adoption will fall into place that just reaches into our hearts and gives a little squeeze. An adoption…
