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.

Good things come in threes
Like all good horse owners, we keep close eyes on the weight of our horses. Clearly no one wants to see skinny horses, but a horse that’s overweight can face health problems too. Every SAFE horses has its meals tailored to its weight and health, and we make…
