Straight to the horse’s mouth! is an appropriate slogan for SAFE which is a grass roots organization that is making a major league difference for horses.
Horses in need
Once a year SAFE holds their Fall Into Winter Feed Drive, and ask friends to donate funds to be earmarked for purchasing hay, grain, and a moderate amount of horse treats for the horses in SAFE's care.
Once a year SAFE holds their Fall Into Winter Feed Drive, and ask good friends to donate funds that will be earmarked for purchasing hay, grain, and a moderate amount of horse treats for the horses in SAFE's care.
The Feed Drive ends on November 30, 2012, so Now is the Time to make your donation! To Make a Donation
"We’ll all feel more secure knowing that our haylofts are filled to the ceiling with Timothy hay and that we have plenty of “tasty, tasty grain” on hand. Our goal is to raise $10,000 by November 30 and we are already almost 20% of the way there! Help us reach our goal with a cash donation today! Pick a level that works for you — every donation helps us reach our goal and keep our horses happily fed!"
Just one of the many stories of horses saved by SAFE:
April lived alone in a small muddy paddock with nothing to eat but potatoes. Her living conditions had already attracted the attention of Animal Control, but it wasn’t until she got tangled up in barbed wire that her owner finally surrendered her to the authorities.
The barbed wire cut a 5” long and 4” wide gash into the muscles of her neck, exposing and just missing her jugular vein. When SAFE agreed to take her, it was uncertain if she would even survive her injury. Fortunately, our vet was able to suture the wound closed and stave off infection until it healed.
Once recovered from her ordeal, April was sent into training to be a riding horse, where she proved to be an excellent student. April will make a wonderful companion for someone looking for an uncomplicated riding horse. She is also a complete and total sweetheart, pretty as the day is long.
Only a slight bit of scarring hints at how close April came to dying. April was a lucky horse; unfortunately there are other horses out there that aren’t so lucky. Helping SAFE means that another horse like April gets a second chance at life.
