New Horse's at Safe Haven Horse Rescue

Barbi
Blaze Charley

We have gotten in a few new horse's.

The newest arrival is Sonny. He is a really nice red dun QH gelding.

The one before him is Leroy he is the paint that ain't. He is a really nice reg. APHA gelding with no paint color. He is a really pretty Sorrel. He is a very sweet boy.

He does have some ringbone in one of his front feet. But will be fine with our joint supplement.

We also have a nice Arabian gelding that we named Lucky Blaze. Because he is lucky to be alive.

He was rescued out of a kill pen with 8 other horse's that were going to slaughter from a auction in Nevada.

He came into Safe Haven Horse Rescue very underweight and with a really bad upper respiratory infection. He has been on medicine since he has been with us. Our vet has seen him and says he is on the road to recovery.

He has put some weight on, but not much, as he has been fighting his cold.

He is very sweet, he was very scared when he came in. Just not sure of what was going on.

Blaze has really settled in now and trusts us so much more now.

He is even talking a lot more now when he See's us and when it's feeding time.

We also got Barbi and Charley in from southern Ca.

Barbi is a really nice paint mare. She is coming along very nicely.

Charley is a gaited paint gelding. We are not sure what breed he is. But he is a very smooth ride.

Wind, wind, wind!!!!!!

Linda R. & Linda C. fed the horses at Safe Haven Horse Rescue this AM. it was pretty darn windy out there.We did get some rain, as we had to turn feeders over to get the water out of 'em. There must have been a good 2" in some of them! The power was out @ Safe Haven this morning so the well was out too. We bucketed water from a few of the water barrels so we could wet the Mush for our "special needs" horses who live on this mixture. Linda R has refined the mush mixture over the years & has found a formula that works quite well & will put weight on any Equine no matter what the age! Just ask Patches, he is now 38 & is a big ole butterball!!
Bye for now,
Linda C.

Safe Haven Horse Rescue is Here for Our Equine Friends

We are a group of people who care about horses and their quality of life. As a non-profit organization (501C-3 Corporation), we improve the lives of horses by providing a safe environment and teaching other people to provide safe environments as well. We offer the horses a life where there is trust and hope. We also participate in the removal of horses from neglectful and/or abusive situations. Through the efforts of Safe Haven Horse Rescue and Sanctuary, we care for the equine, by restoring health and well being and if possible placing them in loving, caring homes.

The facility is maintained through the donations of supporters, throughout the United States and Canada, and we encourage you to visit our Website and consider a donation or the "adoption" of one of happy tenents

History & Background

Linda Richards started Safe Haven in January of 1995. Linda would go to auctions and see mistreated and neglected horses. This broke her heart because she knew they deserved a better life including someone who would love them and care for them. That was the vision that brought Safe Haven to reality. She has been rescuing horses for since 1995 now and takes them in as space allows.
At the age of sixteen, Linda had a horse of her own. She became a veterinary technician and thought that she would always be able to live in harmony with "Sunny". As time went on she had to make the difficult decision to give up her horse. Luckily, she found someone who would not only love Sunny just as much as she did but also had enough time to spend with him. It was through that experience that Linda discovered there were other people going through the same predicament and she wanted to help them as her friend had helped her. This was the first hint that Linda had that she would be involved in horse rescue. Now, along with her volunteers, she finds time to feed and care for 20-25 horses.

This Blog will continue to be a Journal of progress in growing the Facility and give notice of New Guest and the progress of existing horse in our care and custody.
