Adopted!
Luna is a lovely big bodied mare who was surrendered to SAFE by her owner who could not care for her. Luna came to SAFE pregnant and gave birth to a healthy filly foal on November 3, 2018. Luna did not have a great deal of handling prior to being at SAFE, so we’ve had to work with her to help her learn good manners. After her filly was weaned, Luna was sent to Nick Donohue to be started under saddle.
Luna was adopted straight from training and is living a lovely life in Southern Oregon where her training is being continued by Noah Cornish.

Sunshine!
It’s hard to believe that just over a month ago it was 13 degrees at Safe Harbor Stables, and this week the thermostat is hitting 80! The horses are enjoying it tremendously and taking every chance they can to sun bathe. The downside to this beautiful weather is that…
