Venturo and Alvaro, New Friends!
Do you remember the feeling of being a kid and getting to hang out with your older cousins around the holidays, or being allowed to tag along with your older sibling? How cool you felt, how much fun you had? We have to imagine that’s how Venturo is feeling this week…
Alumni Update: Orion
An update from Roxanne from August 1st: I wanted to share some photos of Orion being the best boy at Rebecca Farm in Montana this year. He finished 8th in a pretty zesty competitive division, with no jump or time faults for the weekend!
Zuri is Adopted!
As an older mare with particular needs, we weren’t convinced that Zuri wouldn’t live out her days at SAFE. So we are even more over the moon (over Neptune, if you will) to announce Zuri’s adoption! Her adopter Laura came looking for a companion for her older gelding,…
Brownie’s Third Ride
After receiving his first ride during the August Joel Conner clinic, Brownie moved at a pretty quick clip on his way to being a full blown riding horse. He’s still very green, but a pretty steady eddy so far! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HSC0fEu9_M
Alumni Update: Jill
Here are a couple of recent photos of Jill. She is living a good life with adopter Anna.
Alumni Update: Tabitha (Willa)
Willa now has a retired polo pony as a buddy/pasture mate. They are very comfortable together. Willa loves trail riding and has a big “Go” button.
Poppy’s Summer Activities
Poppy has been taking full advantage of the nice summer weather this year, going for walks outside, cooling off (with the help of a little helper), and even stopping to smell the flowers. This little mare is sure going to be a nice partner for someone! …
Thank You, Thornton Place!
Last week, we hosted a hardworking team of 6 individuals from Thornton Place Apartments for a work party. This team came ready to complete projects, and went above and beyond to help get some necessary work done around the barn. They weatherproofed our wooden…
Nova and Friends
Nova is still enjoying life over in Ellensburg, and we are continually grateful that her foster, Blair, continues to have both physical and emotional space for Nova to be the special mare she is. Here is an update from Blair: “R & B Ranch is happy to share that…
Pepper is Adopted!
Our fun, feisty, and fabulous Pepper has been adopted! After a brief return to SAFE, where she received a tune-up under saddle, Pepper was ready to meet adopters once more. When Liz met Pepper, she could feel it was a match, and told us that she felt very lucky to be…
Brownie Out and About
Brownie lives up to his name — he is a sweet guy. His progress under saddle has been smooth and steady, a relatively quick upward trajectory. Here you can see his first ride outside of the arena, his 5th ride overall. This dude is going places, sometimes at a lope!…
Alumni Update: Mesquite
Mesquite’s adopter Cory recently shared some thoughts on their relationship: Mesquite is ALL ARAB! A hot, opinionated, so extremely soft, Velcro, one-person horse. I love him more than anyone can know. I met and adopted him from SAFE as my friend when he was 11.…
Alumni Update: Remy
A SAFE Alumni volunteer recently visited with Remy and his adopter Jessica. Remy has been doing well. He and Soldier are companions together in hilly acreage, stalled briefly for grain; otherwise, live outside all summer. Stall will be available as needed when weather…
Sienna Under the Rainbow
As far as “things you’d hope to find under a rainbow” go, Sienna is right up there with a pot of gold. This mare is certainly a treasure! As SAFE’s current longest resident, Sienna is approaching 8 years with us. “From Feral to Friend” could be the title of her…
