Sara (Adopted)

Sara is a grade quarter horse mare who is is in her early teens and stands 15.3hh. She came to MHARF in June 2024 when the kind person who had rescued her in 2023 asked us to assist in finding her a permanent home. When Sara was rescued, the vet assigned her a body score of 2.  Sara had been seriously neglected by her previous owner but was lucky enough to have someone step in to take over her care. She is now well on her way to recovery. She is passive in a herd and is easily pushed away from food by more aggressive horses, so anyone who wants to adopt Sara will need to keep this in mind and make sure she has access to the nutrition she needs without having to compete for it.

Molly (Adopted)

Molly is a Haflinger mare who came to MHARF in May of 2024 when we were asked to assist her elderly owner who could no longer care for her. She stands approximately 13hh and is in her early to mid-teens. Molly was pretty overweight when she came in and she is currently on a diet. She will need a home where she will get the exercise and correct diet she needs to stay healthy (Molly will need a dry lot, any grazing should be very limited or a grazing muzzle should be used). Molly is currently at HH Stables for a training assessment and refresher.  What we know about her so far is that she can be a little buddy sour and pushy, but does get over it. She does have decent ground manners. She is well broke to ride, neck reins, has done w/t/c in arena and is good on the trail.

Geno

Geno is a 2009 14.3hh Missouri Fox Trotter Gelding who came to MHARF in September of 2023 when his owner passed away.

Lumpy

Lumpy is a 1999 pinto pony gelding who was taken in by MHARF in March of 2024. He has a  lump on his side for which we are awaiting biopsy results. He is also missing his lower front teeth and his top teeth were very overgrown. He has now had dental care and that issue is resolved.

Snickerdoodle (Adopted)

Snickerdoodle is a 10.1hh 2009 pony mare who was picked up at an auction by our friends at Save the Brays Donkey Rescue in March of 2024. After her quarantine period she came to MHARF where she had a good grooming session before going to have her intake veterinary work done at Anoka Equine Veterinary Services. Snickerdoodle had very bad dental issues, including large hooks which caused her mouth to be ulcerated. She also needed two teeth extracted that were so dead the mucosa had grown up into the socket under the teeth and healed. It’s likely this little mare was mishandled in the past because she is wary of being touched, but once she knows you are not going to hurt her, she gives a big sigh of relief and melts. She loves being gently brushed (still shedding out) and she was very good for her recent farrier care. Fly spray is obviously a new concept for her, but she is learning to put up with it. She also has an atrophied left hindquarter from an old injury which will keep her from being rideable.
