The Last Gallop
I know that he will gallop on,
beyond my sight, beyond the dawn,
beyond the bounds of earthly plains,
where hooves meet clouds and freedom reigns.
by Emily Dickinson

In the Rescue world, we call it the last act of kindness.
It does not make it any easier to say goodbye to one of your friends.

Rescue was our mascot and a great companion to many other rescued horses.
He was a true volunteer as he went with us to many off facility sites to greet and educate others about horse care. He also was very patient and gentle, and allowed those with special needs to get up close and personal with him.
He will be greatly missed.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Dear Friends of Safe Haven

We wanted to take a moment to Thank You. Your support and donations have made a difference in our ability to keep our doors open and continue to help horses in need.
​
We know that the economy has brought many challenges to so many people. Non-profits have also been affected by the economic changes. We are very lucky to have supporters who have been able to stay with us during this time.

​If you are considering an end of year donation, we hope you will keep us in mind. With your donation, we will be able to step into the new year with peace of mind knowing that we will be able to continue our level of care for our equine residents.

​A donation gift of any amount is greatly appreciated.

​ May you have

A Blessed Christmas and A Joyful New Year
​
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel Isaiah 7:14

Thank you Dr Broers and staff for keeping us all informed.

PRESS RELEASE: Commissioner Sid Miller and the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) today issued an alert to Texas horsemen of an outbreak of Equine Herpesvirus Type 1 (EHV-1) reported by Texas veterinarians after the recent World Championship Barrel Racing (WPRA) Finals in the Waco area on November 5-9. Commissioner Miller is urging all horse owners, trainers, and venue operators who attended or were in proximity to the event, or who have recently returned from any large equine gathering in the Waco region in the last 14 days to act swiftly, monitor their animals carefully, and implement heightened biosecurity measures.

“This virus can spread fast, it can be deadly, and the earliest signs are often so subtle they’re easy to miss,” Commissioner Miller, himself an avid horseman, said. “That’s why monitoring your horses right now is critical. The quicker we identify a potential case, the better chance we have to protect not only our animals, but the entire Texas equine community.”
