Ginger
2004 bay Arabian mare
type of rescue: owner surrender
intake date: 6/17/2013
adoption date: 6/20/2014
length of time with SAFE: 1 year
Ginger was surrendered to SAFE after her elderly owner had to go into assisted living. She was purchased from the auction seven years ago, and was kept as a pet since she was 2 so she had no training beyond basic handling skills before coming to SAFE. When her owner could no longer care for her, her family asked us to take her into our program. We sent Ginger into a training/foster situation with a local trainer named Kim Lacey who specializes in both Arabs and dressage. Ginger made incredible progress in training and was adopted by one of Kim’s students, Monica N., in 2014. With Monica, Ginger has shown in training and first level dressage as well as several clinics.

Bath time for Ginger!

Ginger & Sinatra = BFF
Ginger and lover boy Sinatra are joined at the hip. She was much more relaxed having a buddy in turnout. They were eatting this close the entire time. Two needy horses found each other and I mean both of them! I thought he wouldn’t leave her but SHE was stuck to him…
Ginger update
Ginger is settling in pretty well at SAFE Harbor. She’s got some things to learn, but we’re taking it slow and making good progress. She came to us with bad dermatitis along her mane and tail dock that has to be treated, so she is learning how to take a bath. We’re…

Ginger’s “Tail”
Ginger came to us with a tail that was best described as a “baseball bat” — a thick solid tangled mass, unlike anything any of us have ever seen before. Valiant efforts were made to save as much of it as possible, but in the end, a large section of the tail could…
Welcome to SAFE, Ginger!
Ginger is a very pretty 9 year old bay Arab mare in fairly good physical condition who has recently found herself homeless. Her former owner is an elderly woman who developed Alzheimer’s and has just left her home to go into an assisted living facility. Ginger was…
