Lady Flash (Lady Flash has been Adopted!)

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. We have not been able to do our own training assessment on her yet, but she is on the list. She is currently still at her former boarding facility while she waits for a space to open up with one of our trainers, so visits at this time will be limited to anyone with an approved application on file first (and at the discretion of barn owner depending on how the covid-19 issue progresses).

Bravada (ADOPTED!)

Bravada is a Saddlebred mare who came to MHARF in December 2017. She was pregnant at intake and gave birth to a healthy chestnut colt on 05/23/18 who we named Figaro. Figaro has now been weaned and Bravada is available to go to a new home. She is a nice mannered mare and we believe she had been stared under saddle before–but we have not had a training assessment done yet.

May (May has been adopted!)

May is a 2005 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. May was not one of those in the worst condition but she did have very long and misshapen hooves and has required specialized farrier care. They were also all suffering from severe internal and external parasite infestations. May has come a long way since intake and is ready to find a new adoptive home with someone who preferably has experience with donkeys. She is extremely bonded to her friend Apple Brown Betty who came in during the same case and they do need to be adopted together.

DJ (DJ has been Adopted!)

Update 12/29/18: DJ has been Adopted!

DJ is a dun grade Arabian gelding who was foaled in early 2017. He came to MHARF in a December 2017 humane case. He was found to have a vitamin e an selenium deficiency, was treated and is doing very well. He was relatively unhandled at intake but he is went into training for our 2018 Promise of the Future Training Competition with the Wrisky Ranch Team (Renee and Theadora Hendrickson and Brandy and Jaycie Navarro). He competed successfully at the event on September 22nd. and took 5th Overall High Point. DJ did cut his leg in a trailer accident on the way to the event but Dr. Marta from Anoka Equine was there to stitch him up and he was able to compete with no problem. DJ’s sutures have now been removed and he has healed up just fine! You can follow DJ’s training on his Facebook Page!
