Snohomish resident Lillian Hinett has been named the Save a Forgotten Equine (SAFE) April Volunteer of the Month. She was selected for the honor largely because of the numerous times she fills in when there’s a vacancy on a shift.
“She’s strong, she’s cheerful and dependable,” wrote Bonnie Hammond, executive director of the Redmond nonprofit.
Hinett was born and raised in southern California, where she fell in love with horses on Girl Scouts riding and camping trips. She moved to Washington in 1989. Working with the SAFE horses is like having her own pony. “I can love on them knowing they will love me back,” she wrote.
