Rest in Peace, Biskit
We were so sorry to hear that Biskit (pictured), adopted from MHARF in 2008, passed away recently. He had a wonderful life with Lisa and her family and was very much loved. We want to thank Lisa for reaching out to us to adopt a new companion for her remaining horse, Chicago. She chose Chrome (now called Moe), another palomino, and reports that her family is already in love with him and that he and Chicago are getting along very well.
Poco and Cindy complete the Urban Trail Ride!
“The Minneapolis Mounted Police Foundation’s Urban Trail Ride was a fundraising ride held at Minnehaha Regional Park. Each group of fifteen riders had two mounted officers guiding us as we rode through the park. A fun surprise was a stop at the Veterans’ Home, where we greeted some of the veterans and they could interact with the horses. We crossed the Mississippi River twice on the Ford Parkway bridge, then stopped in front of the falls for a few quick photos. Poco wasn’t thrilled about stopping for breaks, he wanted to explore! It was a beautiful day and quite an experience.”
“I count my blessings every day to have found eachother”
“Shotzie is the best horse I’ve ever owned. She needed an intermediate rider, and with every ride, she settles in a little more to her new forever home and learns a little more. She’s willing, sweet, and gentle. I count my blessings everyday to have found each other.
We’re putting on miles and miles, she gets along with my husband’s horse, and her feet are great after getting front shoes.
Thank you, thank you!”
“Thank you for the gift of Journey”
Thank you to Lisa for the update on Journey, the gelding she adopted this past spring. Journey came to MHARF in August of 2022 very thin and badly in need of dental care to treat a painful, ulcerated mouth. Lisa says Journey loves the farrier: “I always put his halter on, though I don’t know why, and he is the perfect gentleman for every trim. Thank you for the gift of Journey.”
Thank YOU, Lisa, for giving this gentle gelding the retirement he deserves!
