ADOPTED!!
Bridgit came to SAFE as a filly, surrendered to SAFE along with another pinto filly named Jewel. Bridgit has always has the sweetest disposition and just adores people. She was quick to learn basic skills, like leading, trailer loading, standing for the farrier, bathing, and clipping. Bridgit completed 60 days of professional training, and returned to SAFE going well at all three gaits. She spent a long time as a SAFE horse, partly because of some intermittent lameness issues that were difficult to diagnose. She did become a solid riding horse and a favorite of our volunteer riders. Bridgit was adopted in 2017 and became a three generation horse, enjoyed by grandma, mom, and kids. She is beloved in her adoptive home.

Our darling Bridgit!
The nickering QUEEN! There is not a lot about this cute little mare’s personality that won’t make you fall absolutely head over heels in LOVE with her! She is the type of girl that when you come up to her stall or her turnout paddock, she will come RUNNING to greet…
Bridgit training update from Kim Lacy
From trainer Kim Lacy: “Bridgit is doing well. She’s very sensible, she just has a lot of energy. Now that we are doing more “work” she is better focused. The biggest issue with her right now is she is pretty weak in her hind end and over her back and she does get…
Bridgit is growing up!
