The New 'BOYS' at Safe Haven!

Meet Oakie, a very very sweet, 20+yro, palomino gelding! He has come to Safe Haven due to a divorce in his family & his Mom wanted a safe place for him to be! What a cutie!

Safe Haven noticed that Oakie was just making 'cigars' out of his hay, so, here he is w/ his very first bowl of Linda R's 'magic mush'! He is so loving it!!! Oakie has been at Safe Haven for about 2 weeks, so he is being evaluated at this time, & we'll be able to tell you a lot more about, what he knows & how he's doing soon!

This is......Eclipse! What a magnificent Gelding! Eclipse is a T/B & Warm blood cross, Safe Haven was told. He had been at a riding school & was used for 3 lessons a day until he hurt his leg & would need a little 'bed rest'. The person running the school was going to send him to SLAUGHTER as he was not earning his 'keep'!

A very wonderful Lady paid $1500.00 for him & since she had her own horses, could not afford the board for him too, so she contacted Linda R. & Voila, here he is! Safe & Sound at Safe Haven! Eclipse is 15 yro, & 17.1 hands tall! He also is in the evaluation phase at Safe Haven & more about him will be available soon! I must interject here; NICE, HE'S VERY NICE!

Well, last but not least is; Buddy! He is estimated to be about 15 yro & is an Arabian. Buddy had been abandoned at a very reputable boarding facility here in Cottonwood, so they also contacted Linda R. & took care of Buddy until there was room for him to come in!

Susan B. took Buddy out for an assessment on his first day there, & was quite pleased w/ him! Buddy is in Rehab at this time, as you can see by the ribs showing & quite a few 'battle scars' ( low man on the totem pole) so to speak that he will need some X-tra TLC for awhile. We'll keep ya posted on his progress. As this short blog shows, you can find quite the diversity of horses at Safe Haven! Michael said the other day, that we have horses from mini size, to regular size & all the way to Huge!!!!! Hope to see you soon, come on out & meet & help to take care of theses magnificent creatures! They GIVE just as much if not MORE than you give!

Bye for now,
Linda C.
