Thank you so much to Colleen and the rest of Emma’s adoptive family for letting us know that this sweet mare passed away last week. Emma originally came to MHARF from a humane case in 2013 and was adopted in 2014. We are so glad she was able to have 6 great years in a loving home:
“In the spring of 2014 we had the privilege of welcoming Emma to our home to keep our gelding company after losing his buddy of 10 years. For the past 6 years they have lived and protected each other in a most endearing way.
Emma passed away peacefully June 10th at 32 years young. She was loved dearly by us all and will be surely missed. Thank you for the honor of caring for her and the joy she brought our gelding and he brought her.”

“Eleven years with my heart horse. Eleven years where, at this point, it’s hard to find a person who knows me that doesn’t also know Lulu.
This little horse has been with me every step of the way through middle school, high school, undergrad, and now grad school. We’ve lived in four states, traveled to many more for shows and events, and have tackled every challenge together. From the USEF/Equus Foundation Hall of Fame, winning Nationals, and competing in front of 10,000 at the Midwest Horse Fair Star Search to visiting nursing homes, campus, and participating in clinics and day camps, Lulu has touched countless lives with her story of sheer determination and love for life. These days, she’s my constant in the current chaos of the world and we’ve been content to just laugh and play at liberty or go on hikes. Even in these quiet moments together, I’m constantly in awe of all that she’s become.
Her life has defined mine as much as I have hers, and I am so thankful that all those years ago she took a chance and decided to trust an eleven-year-old girl.
Happy gotcha day, Lulu.”–Aimee

Thank you to Steve and Kathy for this photo of recently adopted Amadeus (now called Roadie) in his great new home! He’s the pinto in the middle. The other pinto is MHARF alum Boones Bandito (now called Belle) adopted 2 years ago. Steve reports the horses are getting along really well!

Thank you to Latte’s adoptive family for these photos from this winter. They say Latte has been doing very well with training and a patient reintroduction to riding (he especially enjoys short trail rides on their property).

When we were contacted by Suzanne who was looking for a gentle companion for a nearly blind mare, we immediately thought of Freedom. So far Suzanne reports that everything is going very well and Freedom is behaving like the gentleman we know him to be!

Everyone at MHARF wants to extend our sympathy to Tara, Cameryn, and Morgan on the loss of their beloved mare Maggie. They adopted Maggie after our 2009 Trainer’s Challenge (for which she was trained by Haley Furchner). Their experience over the years with Maggie prompted Cameryn and Morgan to enter our “Promise of the Future” training competition for young horses in 2019 and these talented girls took home the POF Grand Championship with the mare Epona. We thank them for sharing these beautiful photos of Maggie with us and for giving her such a great home for over a decade!
