“One of the most safe, reliable and friendly horses I have ever owned.”
We love receiving updates to post on previously adopted horses! This one is from Joyce. Her horse, Hope2 (yes, she has another horse named Hope, also adopted from MHARF:) was originally trained for us by Marirose Berner of Rock & Rose Horsemanship, LLC.
“This picture is of my grand daughter Bridget giving Hope 2 a big hug on Easter! Hope 2 was ridden by several people and never flinched even with 4-wheelers and side by sides making lots of noise around her.

Harlan (Adopted)
Harlan is a big-bodied, 16hh+ Frisian x TWH gelding who was foaled in approximately 2009. He came to MHARF as an owner surrender (owner had personal emergency to tend to and could no longer care for him). He is broke to ride but we don’t have a training level assessment on him yet. Harlan is not gaited.
Tough
Tough is a yearling pony colt (foaled in July 2024) who was signed over to MHARF in late March 2025 after he had been attacked by livestock guardian dogs. He is currently at Anoka Equine Veterinary Services receiving intake vet care, including IV antibiotics. He is stiff, sore and very bruised. His wounds have been cleaned and sutured where possible. Some wounds have been left open as dog bites are dirty wounds and can get infected easily.
Rest in Peace, Reddy
We want to thank Janette and Craig and all of Reddy’s barn friends for giving him such wonderful care in his last few years in his foster home. Reddy was diagnosed with shivers in 2023 (a progressive neurologic disease), making it unlikely that he would find an adoptive home. Janette and Craig gladly welcomed him into their herd as a foster horse to live out his remaining time until the disease progressed to the point where his quality of life was compromised.
