Nashville has been adopted! (Graduate of the 2017 Trainer’s Challenge)

 

Nashville, or Nash for short, is an adorable 2013 quarter horse gelding that came to MHARF as a stud from a November 2015 Crow Wing County humane case. He was severely underweight and loaded with intestinal parasites and lice at intake.  He is a very sweet young horse and has obviously had a bit of handling. Nash is doing very well now and spent the spring and summer with trainer Jessica Amundson for our 2017 Trainer’s Challenge of the Unwanted Horse . He and Jessica successfully competed in the event on September 16th and Nash is now available for adoption!

Triska (Update: Triska has been adopted!)

Graduate of the 2016 Trainer’s Challenge
This pretty paint cross mare is Triska. She was foaled around 2009 and stands 14.3hh. She was pregnant at intake and foaled early on the first morning of spring 2015! (Her filly, Eclipse, has already been adopted). Triska had been handled very little before intake so she had trust issues and was nervous about new things– but she is friendly and curious. She spent the summer of 2016 in training with Sasha Kohlhase of Dart Ranch for our 2016 Trainers’ Challenge of the Unwanted Horse and has come a very long way. She is now started under saddle. Triska is a smart and sensitive mare and will require a knowledgeable and experienced home!

Tater Chip (Adopted!)

Tater Chip is a 2004 12hh bay pinto pony gelding. He is broke to drive but it has been several years since he has done any driving–so definitely in need of some refresher training.  Tater is not broke to ride.  He has had an episode of laminitis recently and currently has front shoes. Tater needs to be on a dry lot and kept off of grass pasture (like most ponies).
