Update 12/09/19: Crystal has been ADOPTED!
Crystal is a 15.3hh pinto mare who was foaled in 2011. She originally came to MHARF in a 2012 Anoka County humane case. She was adopted as a youngster but has been returned because her adopter could no longer keep her. She is now in training with Shaylor Alley in Elk River, MN. She is green broke at this time.
Beau is a Tennessee Walking Horse gelding who was foaled in approximately 1994. He stands 15.2hh and is sturdy boy. He is a retired field trial horse who is well broke to ride but still has a lot of “go”.
Takoda is a pinto gelding who was an owner surrender in Anoka County in October 2019 . He’s in his mid-teens and approximately 15hh. He was diagnosed with heaves in spring 2020 but is doing very well. He has a sweet temperament and is easy to have around. Takoda is now with trainer Anna Hill of Longstocking Stables for an assessment and further training. Watch for updates!
Buddy is a paint gelding who is approximately 13 years old. He’s a big gelding, standing over 16hh and well built. He came in from a recent St. Louis County humane case. Buddy has been diagnosed with heaves so any potential adopter will need to take that into consideration. He has nice ground manners but we have not had a training assessment done yet.
Sly is a nice palomino gelding who originally came to MHARF during a humane case in 2019. He stands 14.2hh and was foaled in approximately 1997. Sly was adopted as a companion for another horse but has now come back to MHARF after the sad loss of his companion. He is a very sweet old gelding. Mellow and passive. He just had dental work done (one tooth pulled) but will need a recheck in 6 months. We never assessed him for training level before he was adopted the first time because he was being adopted as a companion. He is a steady, quiet guy and is sound. At his age, we prefer to just find him home as a buddy to another horse but he could possibly be a light riding horse. He is certainly one who can benefit from pasture grass.
