ADOPTED!! by Tracy G of Woodinville WA
Chance is a Thoroughbred cross gelding who was one of the first horses rescued by SAFE in early 2005. He was bred as a bucking horse, but once they figured out he didn’t have the heart to buck, they sent him off to slaughter where he was rescued by SAFE. The Exceller Fund stepped up to pay for a couple of months of training for him. He was soon doing very well under saddle, as he was apparently very uncommitted to being a bucking horse. Chance was adopted but in 2012, he was returned to SAFE by his adopter who could no longer afford his care. Chance found his person in SAFE volunteer Tracy Green, who fell in love with him while caring for him at SAFE.
Chance was humanely euthanized after an accident on Sept 30, 2019. Our deepest sympathy to Tracy, who loved him dearly and cared for him so well.
