A Safe Haven Saturday!

It was a wonderful day at Safe Haven Horse Rescue! Tracey, Barb, & Kathy took horses out for a trail ride. This is Tracey with her Bailey, all cleaned up after her trail ride & ready for some treats &............................
some horsey huggin' ups!!!!! Tracey LOVES her Bailey! Bailey is an Appaloosa & was saved from going to slaughter!
Safe Haven picked up this gelding named Remington, in Red Bluff, last Monday. His owner had passed away & her Sister was advised to call Safe Haven, by the boarding facility. He has pretty much just been fed & forgotten! Thank Goodness he was at least fed! His mane & tail are a mess! Whirlwinds in the mane But his tail was all most one solid mat. He's not feeling so good being all matted up! Poor guy!
SO! In comes Bonnie 'ridin' to rescue' of that gorgeous tail!!!!!! Look at that humongous matt! OUCH! Don't worry we'll be back to Remmy & his tail a few pics down!
Cori, took her beloved sponsored draft Zipper, out for a romp in the arena & a ride! Cori's daughter Samantha, thought he was hot so, she put her neck cooler on Zipper to help him out! I wonder how she reached his head??? He's 17.1 hands tall!!!! They look so cool in their neck coolers!!!!! && they were!!!!! Safe Haven is selling them for a fund raiser & you are welcomed to come out & see all the horses & pick a neck cooler up for yourself!!! They are $6.00 each! & there's a variety to choose from!
Remington, is all combed out & is much more comfy! Bonnie did a Stellar job making him handsome again! Thanks Bonnie, YOU ROCK! We found out lot's of info on his past yesterday & I am planning on a blog just about that! So keep tuned, it will be done soon!
Lydia was headed down to the tack room, which is the other end of the arena & Cori decided to give her a ride!!!! Zipper said he is Not a TAXI CAB!, but he was good & took them both to the other side of the arena! Good Boy, Zipper!!!
There were many more things going on, yesterday, but I didn't get all those pictures! "/ Sorry! So, now the day is getting late, & it is time to feed. Barb & I started on the waters, while Linda R., Lydia, & Carlie filled up all the grain buckets for the PM feeding! I got around to the back pens & found Billie, trying to drink out of Addy's blue water bucket in her pen!! I started to rinse him off, as he loves it BUT, Billie had other plans & wanted a drink from the hose!!!!! I was trying to hold the hose for Billie & get my phone out for a pic, all at the same time, so Barb came over to help out! I'd had a COW if my phone would have gotten drenched!!!
We were done with the PM feeding & this gorgeous Standard-Bred mare came into Safe Haven! Her name is Beauty, & by golly that she is!!!! She used to be a pacer racer, & turned out to be a little more than the Lady's son could handle, & she has her own horse, so she wanted Safe Haven to have her!!!!! I'll have much more info on her too.
Well, we were all happy & tired by the end of the day, & would so much love to share the horses with you & your family too! Next Saturday is Volunteer Work Day, & we'll be having some scrumptious summer treats included in the lunch we fix for y'all when you come to help the horses!!! Really hope to see you at Safe Haven Horse Rescue, 3950 W. Anderson Dr., Cottonwood, Ca. 530-347-4941! No appointment needed on Saturday!!!!
Bye for now'
