Eclipse

Eclipse is an Appaloosa gelding who came to MHARF in February of 2024 because his owner could not give him the care he needed. He was foaled in 2009 and stands 15.2hh. He is currently in training at HH Stables. The assessment we have so far  (as of March 1st) is that Eclipse has definitely been started under saddle in the past but he is green and can be quite reactive. He currently only suitable for a confident experienced rider who can continue with his training.

Isanti County Gelding (Currently in Rehab)

This gelding (affectionately called “Bitey” for now, but waiting on a name change) came to MHARF from a December 2023 Isanti County law enforcement case. He was foaled in approximately 2018 and was a stallion at intake (he has now been gelded). He came in with what was diagnosed as a severe case of gastric ulcers for which he is being treated. He is currently in our rehabilitation program and not available for adoption. Watch for updates!

 

Kestrel

Kestrel is a grade Arabian gelding who came to MHARF in a late November 2023 Kanabec County humane case. He was foaled in approximately 2018. He’s a nice horse who is curious and friendly. We are waiting for kestrel to gain a little more weight and then he will be on the list for a training assessment.

Update 02/09/24: Kestrel is now ready to have his training assessment done and he is at the top of the list as soon as we have room with a trainer. Watch for updates!

Rhea (Currently in Rehab)

 

Rhea is a grade mare who was foaled in approximately 2013. She came to MHARF in a November 2023 Kanabec County humane case. Rhea is currently in a foster home where she is receiving kind, patient handling and ground work to get her through trust issues and defensive behavior caused by past poor handling.  She is a kind horse and definitely wants to trust people. She has already come a long way in getting over her fear issues.

Harold

Harold is a sorrel gelding who came to MHARF from a November 2023 Crow Wing County humane case. His age is estimated to be mid to late teens. He was quite thin at intake time. He has now put on some much needed weight and is receiving excellent care and handling at Essence of Equus. Harold has not had a training assessment under saddle yet, but he is very well-mannered on the ground.
