Thursday's PM feeding @ Safe Haven

Say Hello to Ebony! He is an Arabian & he is Black (so far anyway, wonder what his Summer coat color will be?) Linda R. has decided to put this guy on her magic Mush mixture. He's eating his hay & Barb will be back to feed him his mush when we're done feeding all the other horses, so she can stay & make sure the girls don't run him off of it! He's the low man in the pecking order!

This is Gypsy, the name that Cindi requested. So we have Ebony & Gypsy so far. Only the pregnant paint mare is in need of a name, & the foal after it's born of course! Barb gave Gypsy & Ebony a bath as it was 80+ degrees here in Cottonwood the other day, they had lot's of rain rot, so she gave them a betadine bath!

Look who's on CRUTCHES!!!  Yep you guessed it! Linda R. is on crutches as her foot is hurting almost too much to walk on! So she went for some X-rays & we're waiting on the results! I said she should have gone to the Vet, for the X-rays as she could have seen the results asap!!!! Linda also has some other stuff going on, but I will save that for the next blog!!! There's another 'energizer bunny' out at Safe Haven & that is Barb! She works from morning to night out at Safe Haven! Thanks for all you do too!!! She also has the great printing skills & makes the signs & labels for the pens & bins too! We're a family out at Safe Haven & would like to Welcome YOU too! Hope to see you Soon! 

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.
