A note about Tina Snyder and the entire Volunteer family at Safe Haven Equine Warriors: This very special place tucked into a little oasis does very BIG things. S.H.E.W. not only takes on the most difficult and urgent cases of horse rescue from slaughter, surrender and more; But they help the most vulnerable of humans as well. Each time I am at the farm, I see animals learning to trust, learning to WIN, improving medically, children growing in confidence, veterans receiving therapy, youth learning determination and grit, selfless people volunteering their precious moments of time. It is the brightest side of humanity here folks. This place has become a safe haven for me as well, a beacon of light in a very dark time. A place to heal, a place to grow and a place to meet myself for the first time in many ways. Tina’s knowledge of horses and humans goes beyond what meets the eye. She knows and feels, inside and out, the opportunity for connection, reflection and correction. It was my honor to bring Minerva here for the first time today and give back a little beauty and light.
Thank you also to Art by Becca Bastian Lee for trusting me to showcase her latest collection. An 8 month long journey for her. I know this is like another baby to you and I hope you are proud. Please join us tomorrow at Safe Haven from 1-3pm to celebrate and shop Becca’s art. 🥂 Thank you to all who came out today and continue to support local art, community and cause. Love, Jasika
