ery one of those years, and for many years be- fore I knew her, she always put the horse first. Not only HER horses and ponies, but ALL horses and ponies. So much so that she braved the confines of New Holland, more times than I know of. So much so that she founded her own horse rescue, Safe Haven Equine War- riors. She has walked the halls of Congress ral- lying on behalf of equines everywhere, near and far, who were not, and are not, being treated humanely (the SAFE Act and most recently the PAST Act). Children and adults have been educated to also help carry the torch of com- passion and giving to help make this world a better place for all equines year in and year out. It starts with one person, a person like Tina Snyder, who moves the earth and triggers a tsunami of change. Tis nomination is writ- ten with immense gratitude and a knowledge that it is an honor and a privilege to call her our coach, trainer, mentor, but especially our friend.” – Wendy Bourque
“Tina has dedicated her life to advocating for and rescuing horses and ponies. Safe Haven Equine Warriors is a nonprofit organization that rescues neglected, abused horses and po- nies or those who are brought to the kill buyer markets to be sold. Te horses and ponies are rescued, rehabilitated, trained and then ad-
opted out to new homes. Tina has dedicated her life to this cause, including educating our younger generations of riders so that her great work may continue over time.” – Kelly Russo
“Tina is one the most dedicated individuals I know. She has spent years helping to rescue ne- glected and abused horses. I had the pleasure to join Tina in Washington, DC, where we lobbied for the SAFE Act, PAST Act and the Horseracing Integrity bill. She has dedicated her life to helping the Equine community.” – Mary Tillett
“I’ve known Tina for almost six years as my daughter has been a student of hers for that long. Tina is the biggest advocate for horses I have ever met. Horses are in her heart. Te love of horses and rescuing horses runs deep in her veins. She is a teacher, not only of being an equestrian, but she also teaches her students, volunteers and parents how to care for horses. Tina has served on several councils, is a board member for one of the largest horse rescues in Maryland and has also lobbied in Annapo- lis and Washington, DC, for equine care and treatment.” – Christine and Madelyn Vicencio
“I would like to nominate Tina Snyder from Safe Haven Equine Warriors (SHEW) be- cause of her impact on the horse rescue com-
munity and on my family. As the founder and head of SHEW, Tina has put a spotlight on the plight of horses bound for slaughter. Not only does she rescue and rehabilitate these horses, but she works to prevent horses from heading to the kill pens. She advocates for change in legislation, brings awareness to the community, and works with others to find homes for at-risk horses that may otherwise end up auctioned off for slaughter.” - Ani Hyslop
“I am nominating Tina Snyder for her astound- ing positive impact on the Maryland equestrian community. She is a tireless campaigner for equine welfare, educating others and herself at every opportunity. She has been involved with equine rescue in Maryland for more than 30 years, currently as the executive director of Safe Haven Equine Warriors (SHEW). Her out- reach stretches to the nation’s capital, where she has spent much time lobbying in support of bills that will protect the domestic and wild horses of America. She has changed more than one mind on the Hill, which is not a necessarily easy task! Her impact on individuals, such as myself, is palpable. I have learned more from her in all things equestrian--ethical and con- scious horsemanship, equine welfare, methods of rehabbing, etc.--than I did in previous de-
