Rest in Peace, Vegas

We’re so sorry to hear about the loss of Vegas (adopted from MHARF in 2010). We want to thank Andrea and her family for these beautiful photos of their beloved mare who was truly part of the family. We know she will be greatly missed by all of them, and we are so grateful that they cared for her until the end.

(Vegas was known as “Reba” when she competed in our 2010 Trainer’s Challenge with trainer Jamie Johnson).

Pink (Adopted)

Pink is a 2007 paint mare who came to MHARF in September 2022 as an owner surrender. Pink is thin and has stringhalt that was most likely caused by an old injury. She is scheduled for a tendonectomy at Anoka Equine Veterinary Services, a procedure that has a 65% chance of correcting the issue and making her sound.

Update 09/18/22: Pink had her tendonectomy.

“I love him so much!”

This happy ending was a long time in the making! This is Dollar who originally came to MHARF during a 2017 humane case. He’d had poor farrier care and was plagued with very thin soles and recurring hoof abscesses. Holly took him in as a foster horse in 2018 and worked diligently with her veterinarian and farrier to get him back to soundness. In 2020, she was so attached to him she decided to adopt him even though he was still having hoof issues.

“Such a sweet boy.”

Thank you to AMF Équitation, LLC for this update on Galileo, who was adopted from MHARF in 2019:
“Just a quick note to send you some photos of Galileo at our most recent dressage schooling show last weekend.
He and his little friend, 6 yo Adaline, came 2nd in their – highly contested 😉 – walk/trot leadline class. As usual, he took great care of his rider and didn’t put a hoof wrong!
