This handsome senior gentleman is named Jake. Jake came to us from a September 2024 Cass County humane case (along with 21 chickens and a turkey. There were also dogs and cats on the property and they were taken in by another organization). Jake is approximately 25 years old and has been lone horse for several years. He was very excited to be around other horses again! Jake’s vision seems to be limited,
Thank you to Kelli for the update on her beautiful Arabian mare Miley (formerly Foxy, adopted in 2021) who was a “rockstar” on her recent trail ride! (photo credit Tiffany Stauffer)
Albie is a gelding who was turned over to MHARF in September 2024 from an estray/unclaimed by owner case. He was foaled in approximately 2019. He is a smaller horse (possibly a Welsh pony cross), standing at 14.1hh. Albie does not have any training under saddle at this point. He is in training at his foster home and is currently working on groundwork. He has a good temperament.
Henry is one of two geldings who were found estray by law enforcement in Sept. 2024 and never claimed by their owner so have now been signed over to MHARF. We have an approximate date of birth for Henry of 2002. He came in with a nail piercing the frog of one hoof. Luckily it went through horizontally and we don’t expect any issues going forward. He is healing up nicely thanks to the help of Anoka Equine Veterinary Services.
We received this wonderful update from Dr. Charly yesterday on her adopted MHARF horse, Monte (adopted in June):
“Monte took our neighbor girl to the local open show today! Won the reserve walk/trot western pleasure today (out of two but who’s counting?!). And he walked and trotted her through showmanship and barrels and keyhole! She’s just starting out and he’s such a gem!”
