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.
