Savannah Update
Savannah arrived at SAFE on Sunday, September 25, and if we haven’t created a page for her yet, it’s because she is already pending adoption with someone who knows her from her previous rescue experience. We are enjoying her at SAFE as she is a lovely mare who is very…
Not a stallion any more!
Moonshine arrived at SAFE as a stallion so our first order of business was changing him into a gelding! Moonshine was castrated on October 1st as part of our castration clinic hosted by NWESC.
Do you ever wonder…
Do you ever wonder where SAFE gets its funding? We were wondering the same thing…so we took a look at the numbers, and discovered some interesting facts about SAFE. First, we looked at GRANTS and found that since SAFE began in 2005, we’ve only received $11,804 in…
Amazing transformation!
Look at the latest photo of Ego Afire, taken at NWESC, where he’s finishing up his treatment for the sarcoid that was removed. What a handsome fella!!

Mr Pibb at White Birch Farm
Mr Pibb has been fostered at beautiful White Birch Farm since leaving NWESC late May. His rehabilitation has come along very well, and he is vastly changed from the sad, skinny horse that first came to us. He’s been ridden in the arena and on the trails! We’re very…
Roger B Rabbit
Congratulations to our good friend Karen V on her adoption of Roger B Rabbit!
Horses available through Pierce County Animal Control
Please bear with me, as this post will be long. Recently, SAFE was contacted by Pierce County Auditor Julie Anderson to request assistance with several horses that have been seized or surrendered to their Animal Control agency that they have been unable to place into…
Cameo: Making Progress, Getting Stronger
Cameo continues to make good progress in her rehab from last July’s injury. Volunteers have been walking and trotting her in hand for the past several months. Cameo is a pretty good girl for her exercise sessions but she is easily spooked if there is too much noise or…
Getting to know Jessel
Well color me impressed! Jessel had her first health check up with Dr. McCracken and she was a superstar. She was a little shocked by the first vaccine but it only got better with the others. We will be giving her more boosters in a few weeks but at least she won’t…
Getting to know Tess
We are happy to have three sweet new mares in our care: Tess, Bean, and Jessel. They were rescued from a very tough situation of neglect and starvation, and it’s going to take some time and TLC before they are ready for adoption. At the moment, we are letting them…
Training Update: Mesquite
Sometimes you meet a horse and say, wow, now that’s my kind of horse! Mesquite has had my heart from the beginning. Once I rode him, I was done for! He is an amazing horse! He is kind, gentle, intelligent and fun. Plus, he has three smooth gates. Oh, and did I…
Banjo and Finn: Foster Buddies!!
Banjo spent about a month at Safe Harbor Stables before heading out to a foster home with Finn. These two Palomino geldings are like brothers! After a little “play fighting” to establish that Finn was the boss, they have now settled in and are good buddies. This is…
Foster and Health Update: Rocky
I recently spent the morning with Rocky during a routine vet visit from Dr McCracken. His foster parents, Kellie and Peter, have done wonders in gaining his trust with their kind and patient handing. Rocky has come a long way from the timid boy he was when we first…
