We were very sad to hear from Angela that she had to make the decision to put her beloved MHARF horse Bill down last week. Bill originally came to MHARF in 2014 in an abandonment case. We know this was an incredibly tough decision and we are so thankful to Angela for taking such good care of Bill and for making the kindest choice for him:
“I struggled long and hard with this decision, but in the end it was about his quality of life not quantity and he was in pain that meds were no longer helping. Thank you so much for the opportunity to help and love this amazing boy! I will cherish all the memories and be appreciative that he is no longer hurting or struggling.
Many thanks and love,
Angela”

“We are grateful for the honor of being her caretakers.”

Our hearts go out to Catherine and Lynn on the loss of their 28-year-old mare, Violet. Violet originally came to MHARF in a March 2013 humane case and was adopted by Catherine and Lynn a few months later. She led an ideal life on their beautiful farm with several other adopted MHARF horses:

“Today, we had to say goodbye to Violet, the matriarch of our herd. We are heartbroken but it was a beautiful morning, she was relaxed and happy with a full belly. She left peacefully surrounded by the people who loved her dearly and her faithful little herd of MHARF mares, Perdita, Norma and Paloma. Violet was an amazing horse. She was gentle, affectionate, playful and also a fierce, wise alpha mare. Although her body was failing, her spirit never dimmed. She was bossing the others around right up to her last day. We are grateful for the honor of being her care takers for the past nine years. She will be missed. Thanks to all of you in the MHARF family who brought her to us.
Violets Staff,
Catherine and Lynn”
Thank YOU, Catherine and Lynn, for giving Violet such a loving home!

Thank you to Stephanie and her daughter Emmy for this update on GusGus and for giving him a great home! They adopted this pretty pony cross gelding in 2020 (after he and his trainer Sarah Helms of Step Up Horsemanship won our 2020 Promise of the Future training competition).

“Emmy has loved horses her whole little life. At the lucky age of 7, she adopted GusGus in September 2020.
He has been a gem since day one; he loves to carry his ball around, be groomed, and ridden by Emmy. These two have taught each other so much. We look forward to so many years with him as a part of our family.”
