Jemma: (Jemma has been Adopted!)

 

Jemma is a 14.2hh chestnut  Morgan x quarter horse mare who came to us from a late-April 2018 Brown County humane case. Her estimated date of birth is approximately 2013-2014. She was underweight at intake and badly in need of veterinary care.  Jemma was not broke to ride at intake time so she was placed with trainer Nate Stener for our 2019 Trainer’s Challenge. She spent the spring and summer in training and competed in the Challenge on Sept. 7th, where she and Nate took 3rd Overall Highpoint! We really can’t belive this gorgeous, quiet young mare has not been adopted yet! She has trail experience as well!

Isabeau (Student of the 2019 Trainer’s Challenge)

Isabeau has been ADOPTED!

Isabeau is a uniquely colored palomino mare who came to us from a late-April 2018 Brown County humane case. DNA results from the American Morgan Horse Association have proven that she is MEMC American Idol and was foaled in 2005. She has had all of her veterinary work completed, including dental work and preg-check (she is not in foal). Her dental exam showed she had many sharp points and hooks and it appeared that she had not any dental care for many years. She spent the summer of 2018 in our rehab program and when she was at a good weight she was made available for adoption. She was not previously broke to ride and as of April 2019 she has been placed with trainer Marirose Berner for our 2019 Trainer’s Challenge. She will spend the spring and summer in training and will compete in the Challenge on Sept. 7th. For more information on how to adopt Isabeau or any of the other horses at the Trainer’s Challenge, please visit our Adopting a Trainer’s Challenge Horse page!

Jiminy Cricket

Jiminy Cricket is a chestnut grade Arabian gelding who was foaled on April 29th, 2018. His mother, Della, came to MHARF pregnant during a December 2017 case.  Jiminy Cricket was premature and showed failure to thrive and both mare and foal were admitted to Anoka Equine Veterinary Services so he could receive i.v. fluids and plasma. Bloodwork showed infection so he was also started on antibiotics. Within 48 hours Jiminy Cricket was doing well enough to be released. He needed to stay on stall rest for 30 days. As of June 2019 Jiminy is weaned and gelded. As you can see, he has turned into a well built young horse and he would love to find a new home! Jiminy was placed with trainer Courtney Stanek in our 2020 Promise of the Future in-hand training competition for young horses. He spent the summer in training with Courtney learning all about how to be a good citizen from the ground. He successfully competed at the event in September 2020.

As of October 2021 Jiminy Cricket has been in training with Sarah Helms at Step Up Horsemanship and he is now started under saddle. You can see a video of Jiminy getting accustomed to groundwork w/the surcingle here.
