Meet LaDoux. This nice grade quarter horse gelding is a recent intake at MHARF. He’s an older boy, having been foaled in approximately 2001. He stands just under 15.2hh. He came to us as an owner surrender but we don’t have a lot of info on his history. He spent 30 days with trainer Sarah Helms of Step Up Horsemanship for a training assessment (see video below). He is neck-reined and will w/t/c in the arena. He is a little anxious at first but settles down quickly. As of March 2022 he is in training with Marirose Berner of MJB Horse Training for refresher work. She reports that he loves being out on the trail!
River is a quarter horse mare (foaled in approximately 2005) who is an intake from a case in which we are assisting Equine Allies, Inc., in northern Minnesota to place horses whose owner is no longer able to provide the care they need. Sable is currently at Anoka Equine Veterinary Services receiving treatment for a damaged deep digital flexor tendon.
Update 09/26/21: Thank you to Mark Thorkildson of Burns Lake Forge and Anoka Equine Veterinary Services for the excellent work to treat River’s damaged left hind deep digital flexor tendon. Farrier Mark Thorkildson has fitted River with a custom appliance/shoe on her left hind to facilitate resting the stay apparatus in that leg. This also allowed us to treat the canker in her right hind foot. She is resting comfortably and has a great attitude. Prognosis is still guarded but we are extremely hopeful. We will post updates as we have them!
Pie (pinto gelding, foaled in approximately 2001) is an intake from a Sept. 2021 case in which we assisted Equine Allies, Inc., in northern Minnesota to place horses whose owner was no longer able to provide the care they need. Besides being extremely malnourished, Pie was in need of some ongoing dental care and is also currently being treated for Squamous Cell Carcinoma in his lower right eyelid. We are very hopeful we have caught this in time to retain sight in that eye. Thank you to Dr. Jeske Noordergraaf for fostering Pie through his first months of rehab (working along with Sunrise Equine) and thank you to Carol, his current foster person! Thank you to Anoka Equine Veterinary Services for their excellent care at intake, and thank you to Equine Allies, Inc., for facilitating the assistance and rehoming for these horses.
