Norman is part of the team!

Thank you to Norman’s family (Jondrea, Emily, Sarah and Sammy) for this update on their beautiful adopted MHARF gelding!

“We are extremely lucky to have an incredible ranch family and local equestrian team that all have fallen in love with Norman. Last month he competed at the last moment at class b equestrian state in 6 events (not including gaming which he hates) and took places 2-6 in all of them.”

“Della is doing awesome!”

“Della is doing awesome! We are getting along really well together and she’s coming a long way in the training I’ve been doing with her. We participated in the fair together and she did really well. We got 4 red ribbons and 2 white which is so amazing since I’ve had her for less than a year. She has been doing awesome at shows!” –Taylor

Sly is very loved and it shows!

Thank you to April for sharing this photo of her adopted MHARF horse Sly (by Dietrich Gesk Photography). Sly originally came to us from a St. Louis County humane case in 2019 and was adopted by April last November. April reports that he is very loved (and it shows)!

Happy Birthday, Bob!

Rita

December 2, 2019

Rita is a sorrel quarter pony mare who was foaled in approximately 2003-2004 and stands approximately 14hh. She came in from a November 2019 Chisago County humane case. Rita went through our rehab program and was then assessed for training and was found to not have been started under saddle. Rita was placed with trainers for our 2020 Trainer’s Challenge but was pulled from that event because she had some ongoing trust and fear issues and it was felt a competitive training venue was not right for her. Rita then went into training with Jamie and Kylie Moeller of Lanoux Stables and with the help of their kind and knowledgeable handling and training she is now broke to ride. Jamie and Kylie determined that Rita’s fear and trust issues were mostly caused by fear of the tack. Because we don’t know Rita’s history we don’t know what may have happened to cause this fear. Right now she has only been ridden bitless and bareback (but does very well!). It is possible that Rita will be able to be bitted and under saddle with more time and patient training.
