After a heroic Christmas-time rescue by MHARF and friends, Dolores and her foal Esperanza (the Sled Filly) were cared for by Siete Leguas Equine. I was fortunate to adopt Dolores at the 2013 Challenge, in which she was trained by Maria Schaal. Without all of these people (more than I can name) and without the support and guidance of Jean Bengston, my happy days with my horse would still be just a childhood dream.
Ole is a very nice sorrel quarter horse gelding who was foaled in 2011 after his mother, Lena, came into MHARF from a humane case. Ole, who stands 15.3hh, was adopted but has sadly been returned because of a death in his adoptive family. He is green broke to ride and has been ridden in snaffle bit only.
Norman is a 2008 15.1hh Paint gelding. He originally came to MHARF as a yearling. His most recent adoptive home has sadly had to return him due to a change in their circumstances (not through any fault of Norman’s).
Angel is a 1999 14.1hh black and white pinto mare (Saddlebred/Arab/Welsh). She was originally surrendered to MHARF several years ago because she had an umbilical hernia her owner did not want to have repaired due to the cost. We took her in and paid for the surgery and then sent her into training when she was healed up. Angel has been adopted twice but has been returned both times due to no fault of her own.
Every horse deserves a little girl to love and here is Rio (Mighty CluCountry) with his! Quite a difference from his intake a year ago!
