Sheba update! She has settled in and we’ve been loving on her and doing groundwork. She had her first ride with us last night and never flicked an ear. She’s gonna be a great trail buddy! And well gaited too! Thanks! -Megan B.
It’s been 2 years since we adopted Jet and Archer. Wanted to let you know the boys are very spoiled and well loved. Thanks for having the confidence in me to take on the responsibility of these two. The more I am around them, the more I realize they are teaching me a great deal. As you can see they love their carrots!!!!!! –Marca

MHARF Alum Skip To My Lulu is the 2014 National Champion Youth Hunter 13-17 Under horse! This was our first and largest class, with 77 entries, and we definitely are starting on a phenomenal note. This little girl tried her heart out for me!–Aimee

We fostered Tuskaloosa (“Loosa” to us) when he was just three. He was part of the Mille Lacs County humane case and one of the few to be turned over before the whole herd was finally saved. Loosa was thin and injured, but mostly Loosa was afraid. He was afraid of people, afraid of the herd, of swinging gates, the open door, the closed stall – he had no sense of safety anywhere. We nurtured Loosa through his fears, slowly discovering the sweet and gentle soul that he is. We could not resist our desire to adopt and keep him in our lives forever.
We now live in California on a 60 acre ranch in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas. Loosa, the crazily spotted pony, is in his element! He loves to roam over the open acreage, but he’s equally eager to give little kids their first pony rides or carry my husband or a visitor down the trail. He has also added “modeling” to his resume, having appeared in a Skodes Horse Treat advertisement. We wanted you to know that all is well; he is happy and we feel so very lucky to be sharing life with him.

Walker Farms Equine’s two lovely MHARF alums ready for a trail ride this morning! Liliana on the left (with the sparkles!) and Mr. Guy on the right. Lili is 3/4 Thoroughbred, Guy is a Thoroughbred ex-racer. Today Guy took Rachael’s aunt on her first ride in 40 years – and he was an absolute doll!

My name is Honeybear and I am a beautiful palomino pony. I’ve been living with my family for a few years now and we have a great relationship. They say I am ‘ornamental’ which must be a good thing. Sometimes I have to remind the boys, Rodeo and Buddy, who is in charge in our paddock but when I toss my mane and stamp my front foot, they remember that I am special.
I used to have a lot of trouble with my hooves; they were a really weird shape because I didn’t get trimmed for so long before I was rescued–but my farrier, Fred, does a good job and now my feet don’t hurt at all and I can run as fast as the wind. Fred is especially proud of how good I stand when he works on my feet—the lead rope isn’t even tied to anything. Once in awhile I look for things in Fred’s pockets, but mostly I just stand and look beautiful.
I would recommend rescuing for any pony that is thinking about getting a new home. My Foster family was very nice and the girls were adorable; I would like to thank them and MHARF for helping me get started on my new life.
Casey formerly known as Flurry is doing great in her new home! Thank you so much for the opportunity to rescue another wonderful horse from you guys! I love what you guys do!!!!!!–Meg C.
