Save a Forgotten Equine

Two horses were removed from their unfit home in September in Snohomish by the SAFE organization. The Save a Forgotten Equine organization removes neglected, abused, or unwanted horses from unworthy owners and transports them to SAFE's well taken care of ranch. They help the horses get back into shape with the help of their many trustworthy volunteers.
The SAFE organization not only cares for the horses the way they should be, but they also have many programs to help the horses. They carefully evaluate them to find their strengths and once they have found that special strength they provide professional training to help ensure them a safe and productive future. Since 2005, Save a Forgotten Equine has been rescuing and rehabilitating horses.
The SAFE organization as well as the Snohomish Police received a report that two horses were being neglected. The owner had a short period of time to fix the malnutrition before the follow-up visit. The owner failed to do so and the SAFE organization took custody of the two horses. After taking custody of the horses a veterinarian performed a complete examination. One of the horses had to be euthanized due to the malnutrition. The other horse is being cared for and is improving.
