Maggie is doing “GREAT”

A nice update received on Maggie, a sweet 28-year-old mare who originally came to MHARF in a 2013 humane case. Thank you to Colleen for the beautiful photos of Maggie enjoying life with her herd mates. Colleen reports that Maggie is doing “GREAT”!

“He is my Steady Eddie”

Thank you to Kristina for the update on her adopted horse, Titan:
“The last 2 years with Titan have been amazing, such a wonderful trail horse with some obstacle competitions sprinkled in, a few clinics as well! He is my steady Eddie that I can put anyone on and not worry.”

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!

Congratulations to Cindy and her adopted MHARF horse, Poco, for successfully participating in the Urban Trail Ride on October 8th!
“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”

A really nice update received from Mary on her MHARF horse, Shotzie (adopted in August):
“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!”
