Ringo [Registered name Nite Illumination (RA Hot Every Nite x That’s Fancy)] is a pinto American Saddlebred gelding who came to us from a late March 2018 Kanabec County humane case. He was foaled in 2005 and stands 15.2hh. As of May 2019, Ringo is in training with Ralea Casperson of RKC Dressage, LLC.
Montana is a chestnut grade Saddlebred gelding who was foaled in approximately 2005. He came to us from a late March 2018 Kanabec County humane case. Montana has put on some much needed weight in his foster home but they are still working on getting his hooves in shape due to neglect and also on ground manners. He will not be assessed for under saddle training or available for adoption until spring of 2019.
Jolene has been ADOPTED!
Jolene is a small bay mare who came to MHARF from a late March 2018 Kanabec County humane case. She was quite malnourished (and also covered in burdock). Jolene is a sweet old mare who was foaled in approximately 1988. We don’t know if she is broke to ride at this point. It will most likely be spring of 2019 before we have her assessed for training (and will most likely only recommend her for light riding with a smaller rider). She is available for adoption and would make a great companion for another horse!
Lyric is a black and white Saddlebred mare who was foaled at MHARF after her mother Harlem’s Evening Song came in during a 2011 Pine County humane case. Lyric was adopted as a youngster but never stared under saddle. She has come back to MHARF because her adopter could not keep her. This nice mare was entered into our 2018 Trainer’s Challenge of the Unwanted Horse with trainer Marirose Berner. They competed successfully and won Third Overall High Point! You can see Lyric and Marirose’s Trainer’s Challenge journey on Lyric’s official Facebook page HERE!
Macho is a gelded standard size mule who was born in 2013 and stands approximately 13.2hh. He was not broke to ride at intake so he has been placed with trainer Brandy Beede for our 2019 Trainer’s Challenge. Macho and Brandy will compete in the event on September 7th at the Leatherdale Equine Center on the U of M St. Paul campus. You can learn more about how to adopt Macho at the event on our Adopting a Trainer’s Challenge Horse page.
Update: Macho’s trainer Brandy had to undergo unexpected surgery in early July and will not be able to ride. She has decided to continue Macho’s training as a driving mule so she is still able to show him at the Challenge in the interest of finding him a great new home!
You can follow Brandy and Macho’s progress throughout the spring and summer on Macho’s Facebook Page!
