Serenity (formerly IRS), an older QH mare, adopted from MHARF Sept 2011, from LF case. My pride and joy for 9 months before she passed away. Don’t let age or condition stop you from adopting, you may be giving a deserving animal something they may have never known before-safety, shelter, good nutrition and care, and most of all, unconditional love. Some outcomes cannot be predicted, but let that never stop us from loving these wonderful creatures. She stole my heart and I miss her immensely. Thank you Drew and MHARF for all you do. -Kathryn P.

Just wanted to send you an update regarding Phineas.
In 2011 Phineas re-entered the Dressage show life. Our first day out was the Three Ring Circus in Hugo, MN. We placed fourth in Training 1.
Phineas has such a big heart and loves to go to work, once you convince him to move forward and not be too lazy. He and his financial supporter Mary will be riding the the Bill Woods Clinic and schooling show being held at Sunborn Stables.
When not in training, he loves to go for trail rides on a long rein to relax and nibble at the grass along the path. Look out 1st Level, here we come!

Just wanted to give you an update on Freya. She is quite happy here and is getting along well with the “others”. We have been riding at Wild River State Park, crossing bridges and so forth. She is a sweet, solid little mare. She has bonded with and seems to love both of us. We had a picnic with 15 kids and 15 adults and she did great giving rides around the house with as young as a 3 year old child (being led of course). We can’t imagine life without her now. We are so appreciative of her. Travis adds, “She is way better than what I could have imagined.”
