The last two HeART of the Horse events have been so well received that we thought we'd expand it to an ongoing project with the goal of holding a live event once a year. We have been extremely fortunate to be supported by so many amazing artists & photographers, many of whom are long time supporters of SAFE so we thought everyone might like to meet them and get to know their work a little more. So the first "HeARTist" that I'd like to introduce is someone you may already be familiar with, "Shano"During the Month of December 2010, Shano will donate 20% of her US online sales if you mention "SAFE" in the message or email header. She'll run this promo until the end of the month.What a perfect way to check off your holiday gift list & help SAFE at the same time. She not only has equine related items but also cats, dogs, angels, fairies, mermaids, fantasy art, etc... and it's not just paintings & prints! You'll find handbags, apparel, checkbook covers and other gift items there as well...even Flasks! Here's a little taste of her flavorful work...   Her website is shano-studio.com/index.htmlShano is not only an artist but also adopted SAFE horse Rusty You can check out his story at: schwung.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=adopted&action=display&thread=417 Don't forget to take her up on her amazing offer!! Thanks a bunch Shano!!! |

Featured HeARTist for January To start off the new year our featured HeARTist is Liz Stabbert who has been a longtime supporter of SAFE. Her photos have captured many a proud rider at several of the SAFE Benefit Horse Shows and she's participated in both HeART of the Horse Equine Art Shows. Meet Liz....  "I've been in love with horses for as long as I can remember. Model horses lined the shelves of my old bedroom and posters of horses covered the wall. Though I... managed to beg lessons off and on through the years, spent several years in horse 4H, and leased a horse for a short time in high school, I still haven't realized my dream of horse ownership...yet anyway ;-) Photography for me started as a whim and turned into a grand passion. I was a traditional artist mostly interested in watercolor, painting, and pencil and colored pencil drawing, but the art classes at the local community collage I was attending were failing to hold my attention. I had always been mildly curious about photography so decided to give Photography 101 a try. The connection was immediate. After taking every photography related course the school offered, I created my own independent study course with the goal of learning how to be an equine and rodeo photographer. It was through this independent study I began covering horse shows for the Kitsap Saddle Club and Liz Stabbert Photography was born! Before long I found myself at the Art Institute of Seattle studying commercial photography and graduated in December of 2007. It was a little unusual in a group of students who's goals were to become fashion and studio photographers to confess that I planned to become a "horse photographer"! From my very beginnings as an equine photographer my favorite part has been meeting the amazing people who share my passion for horses and the horses that they love. It's been a wonderful experience and my business continues to grow thanks to the wonderful local horse community! In 2011 I plan to branch out from my current offerings of personal horse portraits, equine and event and rodeo coverage into senior portraits and families as well!"
~ Special Benefit Offer for SAFE through the month of January ~
"Because I know there will be a lot of people who will want to wait for portraits until their horse is out of the shaggy winter yak stage, is offer gift certificates in any denomination desired and 50% of the proceeds will go to SAFE! Gift certificates are good for any services or items I offer including equine and family portraits, and beautiful professional prints and canvases! Christmas is over, but Valentines day is just around the corner you know! A portrait session would be a great gift for a horse-loving valentine ;-)"Please be sure to mention the SAFE promotion when you purchase your gift certificate Please contact Liz through her website at: www.lizstabbertphoto.com/or via email at: liz@lizstabbertphoto.com Facebook Event page: www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=188143154536486&num_event_invites=0#!/event.php?eid=188143154536486    |

I have a Liz Stabbert original, purchased at the last HeART auction, of Honeycutt and it's the next best thing to bringing the actual horse home. Get a beautiful photo of your favorite SAFE horse and you'll always have a reminder of them.

I received a lovely note from Shano regarding her promotion....
"I'll continue to give 20% to SAFE if I continue to receive orders where I know it goes toward SAFE in checkout or email me with their order. I hope to do all I can for SAFE. I have a wonderful, fabulous horse that I love dearly. I love to give back!"
So if anyone still wishes to purchase make sure you let her know you came to her through the SAFE promotion
And THANK YOU Shano for your ongoing support!

Meet February HeARTist ~ Leah Anderson!
Many of you are already familiar with her work and posts here on the SAFE message Board but for those who haven't had a chance to check her work out please do so...  It’s certainly fitting that we celebrate the month most closely associated with Heart with a feature of Leah Anderson. Thanks to Leah, who has worked on both of the past HeART of the Horse events, we have a beautiful logo! Leah is passionate about everything she does, be it riding, taking photos or caring for those around her.  It was while she was a volunteer for SAFE when she was finishing up at the University of Washington that she was inspired to create her cornerstone project, "Forgotten", a look at rescued horses and what it means to the people who rescued them in their own words and Leah's beautiful photographs. Everyone who has ever had the opportunity to enjoy the book has been deeply moved...many of us to tears! "Forgotten" is available through blurb.com (follow the link below) and won their People's Choice Award in 2008. www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/365693?alt=Forgotten%2C+as+listed+under+Fine+Art+PhotographyLeah is generously donating any profits from the sale of her images or orders of the book "Forgotten" to SAFE this month.
