Richard

Richard is a 15.2hh buckskin gelding who was foaled in approximately 2016. We don’t know anything about his breeding, unfortunately.  Richard is gelded but still retains a lot of studdy behaviors. He also has an issue with sight (cloudiness from cataracts due to past trauma) so will need an adopter who has experience with horses with sight limitations and also experience with stallions. We don’t know a lot about Richard’s past but it definitely included some trauma along the way. He still exhibits some aggressive and self-protective behaviors. He is a beautiful gelding with potential for a confident, experienced person who has the knowledge to continue working with him.  He is  broke to ride and is good on trails, but does not like arena work. If you are an experienced horse-person interested in learning more about Richard, you can email us at [email protected] for more info and contact number.

Pixie Stix

Pixie Stix is a palomino filly who was born on 03/20/24. Her mother, Skittles, was pregnant when came to MHARF from a September 2023 Carlton County humane case. Pixie is a healthy filly who was weaned in fall of 2024 and is available for adoption. She is a stocky, well-built filly. We don’t know yet how tall she will be at maturity.

 

Eclipse (Transferred to GRG Ranch Rescue)

Eclipse is an Appaloosa gelding who came to MHARF in February of 2024 because his owner could not give him the care he needed. He was foaled in 2009 and stands 15.2hh. He is currently in training at HH Stables. The assessment we have so far  (as of March 1st) is that Eclipse has definitely been started under saddle in the past but he is green and can be quite reactive. He currently only suitable for a confident experienced rider who can continue with his training.

“I couldn’t be more proud of this little horse!”

We are so proud to have Aimee and Skip To My Lulu representing MHARF and rescued horses everywhere! Congratulations to them both!
“Last month, we went to the Begin Again Horse Rescue Charity Challenge hosted by Begin Again Horse Rescue. Lulu swept the In Hand Obstacle classes, winning both the Youth and Adult divisions! To top it off, she scored 119 out of a possible 120 points in our Adult In Hand class against 22 tough competitors, winning the High Point Rescue Horse award. We loved representing the Minnesota Hooved Animal Rescue Foundation all the way out in New York, and even ran into an old friend who knew Lulu from volunteering with MHARF years ago.
This is our second year attending this show, and she’s won the Adult In Hand class both years! I couldn’t be more proud of this little horse.”

Leah (Transferred to GRG Ranch Rescue)

Leah is a chestnut mare who came to MHARF from a September 2023 Carlton County humane case. Leah had little handling in the past, but she learned to trust and was halter broke thanks to the kind handling and training from our friends at HH Stables.  In November, Leah was confirmed to be in-foal by blood test from UC Davis. She had a seemingly normal and healthy pregnancy, but, sadly,  gave birth to a stillborn bay colt in mid-March. Leah has had a few weeks to recover and is doing well. She will soon begin training so she can continue in her journey to finding a new home.
