Save a Forgotten Equine (SAFE) is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and retraining of horses facing neglect or abuse; providing them with the best opportunity for a permanent home and a lifetime of safety. Conveniently located in Redmond near Farrel McWhirter Park, SAFE is a 501c3 with an active volunteer team, who is looking to add to our team.
Have you ever wanted to volunteer at SAFE, but couldn't make a day time shift? We are in need of Night Check Volunteers to come and be the last eyes on the barn, drop the final feeding of the day, make sure all gates and latches are closed, and to take a last look at all of our horses. Training is provided, but basic horse experience is preferred. This shift starts at 9:30 pm, and takes about 30-35 minutes. Current needs are for Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Please contact volunteer@safehorses.org for more information.

Mission Statement
Our mission: To rescue, rehabilitate, and retrain horses facing neglect or abuse and provide them with the best opportunity for a permanent home and a lifetime of safety.
Description
SAFE is deeply committed to its rescued horses. We have extensive experience in equine rehabilitation and have successfully brought many neglected horses back from the brink of starvation. All of our horses are provided with routine vet care, dental care, vaccinations, and farrier care. Once a horse has been successfully rehabilitated, we carefully evaluate them to discover their strengths and suitabilities, and we provide many of these horses with professional training to help ensure them a safe and productive future. While at SAFE, horses receive a lot of personal attention and handling. Our rideable horses are worked on a regular basis by our on-staff trainer and by qualified volunteers under her supervision.
Once a horse is ready for a permanent home, SAFE undertakes a rigorous screening process to find the ideal placement. We carefully review applications, check references, and conduct site visits, with the goal of finding a long-term home that will benefit both horse and adopter. After a horse is placed into its forever home, annual follow-up visits are conducted to ensure the animal’s continued well-being and SAFE will take a horse back if its adopter can’t continue to care for it.
