Strider — April 9, 2012
April Volunteer of the Month: Sharon Bradley
Please join us in congratulating our April Volunteer of the Month, Sharon Bradley. Sharon began volunteering with us a year ago. When she first started, she was a little bit intimidated if the horses got too close. A year later, she has gained knowledge, skill and…
Oscar on his way to training
Oscar spent a day at SAFE before heading up to training. He enjoyed some time playing in the arena, where these gorgeous photos were taken.
You’d be grumpy too…
…if your teeth looked like this. Poor Louie had the terrible fangs… This is why we stress the importance of annual dental checkups for horses!
Strider settles in at SAFE
Strider is settling in at SAFE, making new friends. In the photos you see below, the holes on his back are skin grafts. They started out as tiny spots and after two months are the size of dimes. They will continue to expand out and hopefully fill out the unhealed…
Strider is “home”!
After 7 months at NWESC, Strider has finally been released to SAFE. He still requires daily treatment of his wound area, we are going to be able to handle it ourselves. We’re thrilled to have the big guy at the SAFE farm. [gallery link=“file” order=“DESC”…

Oscar Update

Run free, Shay
Strength and beauty. Two words that perfectly describe Shay. In the four years that we have known her, we’ve seen her battle back from neglect to become a vibrantly, beautiful mare. She’s lived a happy life in the company of her best friend Marta under the wonderful…
Anakin Update — March 14, 2016
Another month has flown by and the skelatal horse we met back in December is becoming more and more of a memory. Anakin has now put on nearly 200 pounds since his rescue, and he is starting to glow with renewed health and vitality. He’s enjoying more and more turnout…

Rocky: New Photos and Heath Update
We had a nice visit last week with SAFE horse Rocky at his foster home. Jessica Farren was able to come along and took some beautiful photos of Rocky. He has really come a long way from the frightened and pained horse that SAFE took in over a year and half ago. His…
February Volunteer of the Month: Melinda Merryman
Every volunteer that helps at SAFE does important work. Without our volunteers SAFE would not be able to accomplish as much as it does. All of them are incredible people but sometimes our volunteers go above and beyond what is asked. Melinda is one of the above and…
