Safe Haven Horse Rescue's busy Springtime

Hi Everyone!

I thought I'd list our schedule for the next couple of months, we're gonna be busy!!!!!


On the 5th of April,
we will be at the Anderson Fairgrounds for the "Love Your Pet Expo."
I think the hours are from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.

We were going to do a Cowpie Bingo w/ Sammy the dwarf steer (who is absolutely adorable), but Linda R. is having surgery on her arm on the 2nd,
& since she is the one to handle Sammy, we thought we'd
better take horses instead so the rest of us could handle them.

SO we're taking the two biggest horses we have!!!, Zipper a Thoroughbred &
Percheron cross, & Splash a Belgian Paint!!!
They are gentle giants & it will be fun to show them to the public.

Both of these horse are a product of the PMU industry,
& will give an opportunity to educate the public on that awfull situation
that some horses must indure. Thank Goodness there are way fewer farms doing that now.

OK back to the schedule!!!!
Safe Haven will be having it's 1st Springtime PLAYDAY on April 13th
at the Bobby Jones Arena here in Cottonwood.

I would like to invite those of you w/ horses to come & participate, & those of you who don't have horses to come watch the fun also as you can help support SAFE HAVEN
by having lunch at our snack bar & also buying raffle tickets for the drawings we have during the day.

On Sat. April 26th Hawes Farm & Ranch in Anderson will be having a Customer Appreciation Day, they will have a cowpie bingo, & are going to donate most of the proceeds to Safe Haven......WHOO- HOO!!!!!!!

On April 27th, CSHA ( California State Horsemen Association, Inc) will
have their "Open Schooling Show"at Bobby Jones arena &
they have invited us to come & put up a booth, so we will be there w/
the tack that PET Smart donated to Safe Haven.

Oh I almost forgot! the 12th will be Volunteer Work Day at SAFE HAVEN!!!
We'll make ya lunch if you come out to help :-) Hope to see you all at everything that's on the schedule!!!! in April!!!!!! ( will list more later as this is just for April)

Bye for now,
Linda C.

Safe Haven Horse Rescue Up Date

We had a great day at the Animal Adoption Day at Anderson River Park.

Thank You to all the girls from the New Tech High School that invited Safe Haven Horse Rescue.

We brought 2 horse's that everyone could love and pet on. They were Zipper the big TB/Percheron gelding that is 18 hands tall and 2000 pounds. A very big sweetheart. And Gambie one of our mini's.

Gambie and Zipper are both really pretty black horse's. So we broght our biggest horse and our smallest horse.

We asked everyone to come out to Safe Haven Horse Rescue and visit all the horse's that are in between Zipper and Gabie's size's.

We all had a great time and both horse's were just great. Hope to see some new people come out to Safe Haven.

We also have an event coming up on April 5th at the Love Your Pet Expo. We are hoping to bring both of our draft horse's.

Hope to see you all there.

Safe Haven is bulging at the seams!!!!!!!

WOW!!!! I did a head count OR should I say; I did a tail count yesterday of all the horses at Safe Haven Horse Rescue. We are back up to 40 horses, that does include the 2 mini's we have. I thought I'd break it down a little further, Safe Haven has; 2 Mini's, 2 Drafts, 2 Quarter Ponies, & 34 Horses!!!!!!!!! That is alot of HAY!!! We received in two horses on Sat. they are Ali an 11 year old Arabian mare, & Bandit a 27 year old Gruella Quarter Horse, who is emaciated, he is a SPECIAL NEEDS HORSE, & was put on the mush Sat. We now have 10 buckets of mush to feed 2x's a day, so that makes 20 big buckets of mush, 4 bales of Alfalfa, 1 bale of Grass, & for the PM feeding we have 17 small buckets w/ grain for the horses who need joint supplement. I was going to add up all the extras we feed, but I will save that info for another day.
Just so my title fits this piece, I'll say that Safe Haven is over flowing w/ horses at this time, & Linda R. is getting more phone calls & more e-mails every day from people w/ horses to place w/ us, she has some on a waiting list to come in as other horses get ADOPTED so if you can adopt or foster a horse - come on out, & we'll be glad to match you w/ a beautiful equine!!!
Gotta Go...Bye for now
