Waylon (Companion Home Only)

Waylon is paint gelding who came in during Sept. 2016 Stearns County humane case. He was foaled in approximately 1998. He was a stallion at intake and had spent several years locked in a filthy closed up barn with no turnout at all.  Because of these conditions and lack of hoof care, Waylon showed signs of laminitis at intake. He is currently being treated for this with regular farrier care and front shoes and is sound. Waylon is a sweet horse with good ground manners. He is not broke to ride. Please consider giving this sweet horse a good home–he deserves it!

Willa (Update: Willa has been adopted! )

Willa is a beautiful chestnut mare who was foaled around 2002 and stands approximately 15.2hh. We believe her dam is Korea Norsk, a registered National Showhorse, but we don’t know who her sire was. Willa and Korea Norsk came in together during a July 2016 Crow Wing County humane case in which they were rescued from flood waters. Willa spent the spring and summer of 2017 in training with trainer Beth Ash for our 2017 Trainer’s Challenge of the Unwanted Horse.  Willa and Beth competed successfully in the event on Sept. 16th and Willa is now available for adoption! (You can view Willa and Beth’s 2017 training journey Here!)

Update: As of May 2018 Willa is back in training with trainer Marirose Berner of MJB Horse Training. You can follow Willa’s progress on her Facebook page Here!

 

 

Korea Norsk (Bailey) Bailey has been Adopted!

This beautiful bay mare is a registered National Showhorse (Arab x Saddlebred) but we do not have her papers . Her registered name is Korea Norsk but her barn name is Bailey. She was foaled in 1998 and stands approximately 15.2hh.  Bailey came to MHARF during a July 2016 Crow Wing County humane case in which she was rescued from flood waters. She came in with Willa, who we believe is her daughter. Bailey is broke but it has been several years since she has been ridden. She could be put back into use as a light trail horse by an intermediate, confident small adult rider or youth (she is showing her age and has a bit of a sway back) but she would also be just as happy as a companion horse.

 

Sayonara (Sayonara has been Adopted!)

Sayonara is a bay mare who was born in August of 2016. Her mother, CU Later, was surrendered to MHARF earlier that summer after local law enforcement found her running free down Highway I-35 for the second time.  CU Later is a quarter horse-type mare but we have no idea who Sayonara’s sire is, as the mare’s previous owner was not aware of the pregnancy. Sayonara is a beautiful stock-type mare and is very smart and very sweet. She is also beginning to gray out so we think she will look a lot like her mother! Sayonara is currently in training (ground work) with Anna Hill. You can check out their progress on Sayonara’s Facebook Page.

Sonny

Sonny is a handsome, solidly built 2008 grade quarter horse gelding who stands 14.3hh. He is a very nice horse and is currently in training with Jamie Moeller who says he is good for trails and arena work. She thinks he would make an excellent 4H horse.  Sonny
