These 6 young mustangs came in recently from a South Dakota humane case where they were seized from the International Society for the Protection of Mustangs and Burros (read about the ISPMB case here ). They range in age from approximately 6 months (orphaned sorrel colt) to approximately 18 months (gray colt). They are currently in a foster/quarantine facility and are learning to trust people. We have not been able to handle them yet.
Adoption Pending. Starlight is a 2003 black and white Arabian cross mare who stands 14.2hh. Star does have some metabolic issues and she does require a dry lot and careful feeding. She recently spent the spring and summer of 2017 in training with trainer Melissa Lund for our 2017 Trainer’s Challenge of the Unwanted Horse. Starlight and Melissa competed successfully in the Challenge on Sept. 16th and Starlight is now available for adoption!

Walker is a 2002 Appaloosa gelding who stands 14.1hh. He is not broke to ride. Walker has some lameness issues in one of his hind legs due to an old injury. He is enjoying pasture in his foster home this summer and we will assess his lameness again this fall.
Turtle has been Adopted!
Turtle is a young bay overo paint gelding who was foaled on 11/5/16. His dam Dixie came to MHARF during a September 2016 Stearns County humane case. Many of our followers sent us the idea to name him “Turtle” because of the very distinct turtle shape on his side. Turtle was adopted but his adopter could sadly not keep him. He was returned to MHARF and was entered into our 2018 Promise of the Future
In-Hand Training Competition for Young Horses at the Leatherdale Equine Center on the U of M St.
