Thank you to Vicki for this update on Perlita and Penny Mae (formerly Apple Brown Betty and May)! ” Here a couple of pics of the donkeys. They are doing well and learning to go in and out of their stall (as long as I line the cement floor with straw!). They both are such sweet and gentle girls. I’m so happy to have them here.

Lady Flash is a Belgian mare who was foaled in approximately 2004 and stands approximately 17hh. She originally came to MHARF several years ago and was adopted but is now being returned because her adopter is moving out of state and cannot take her along. She is a nice mare who is broke to ride (for a confident, experienced rider) but has done mostly arena work and does not have much trail experience at this time.

Irene is a 2003 standard donkey jennet who came to MHARF during a June 2017 Pine County humane case. This case involved 6 other donkeys, all of whom had not had any veterinary or farrier care for many years. Because of this neglect, several had hooves so long they could barely walk. Irene was one of those in the worst condition and did have very long and misshapen hooves that have required specialized farrier care.
