“Vickie and Naalon have been riding around my farm for 8 years now every Monday just like clockwork. Over the years, I have learned their story and today I asked Vickie if I could share it with other people. Being the kind and cordial person that she is, she said I could. Naalon was rescued by MHARF more than 15 years ago from a stall that was several feet deep in manure. He had been in that stall so long that he had issues being able to move properly for some time after taken out of the stall. By the time Vickie found him at MHARF, he was 19 years old and still very afraid of people and usually bucked them off. Something clicked between the two of them, and Vicki adopted him and slowly got Naalon to not be afraid of her. She rode him with her legs out away from his sides as any bumping on his sides frightened him. After a couple of years of regular work with Naalon, he became more accepting of Vickie and they started the routine of riding out on a regular basis. I moved in next door after they were well into their routine and loved seeing them ride around the property on Mondays. It was obvious they fit together very well by then. Naalon is now 34 years old and he is still lovin’ his rides as you can see by this photo. These two are a shining example of how a person and a horse can overcome some terrible history together. Kudos to you Vickie and your boyfriend Naalon.” –Jean B.
Archer has come along way since we adopted him! Today I was finally able to sit on his back and walk him around for the first time since owning him. It took a lot of time to get here but he’s developing into quite the horse. I’m so happy that I can call him my own! -Bill T.
Just wanted to say Hi and Thank you!!! This week was Tori’s 2nd Gotcha Day with me and we’re loving every minute together. Dental exams suggest that she’s about 30 this year, so she’s been allowed to retire as a pretty pasture ornament. But my gelding and I are so thankful for her health, companionship and love. Thanks again Drew and team!!

Ali Bayzar, 1994 straight egyptian Arabian gelding, adopted in 2008 from MHARF. He is 21 years old now and still enjoys strutting his stuff. He has the sweetest, most honest disposition ever and is definitely a once in a life time horse. I am so blessed to have him in my life. I always encourage anyone I know to adopt a rescue horse. I believe they know the second chance in life they have been given and have so much to offer
Here’s an update on Jute who came in almost 10 years ago during a Todd County humane case! Thanks Alexandra!
“Hope you guys are doing wonderful! I just wanted to send you a little update on Jute. I adopted him from your organization almost 8 years ago and he has taught me so much over the years. He is now what we guess is about 20 and has gotten over most of his fears. This is my cousin Neala who absolutely adores him and he seems to adore even more.”
I adopted this young lady from you a couple years ago and wanted to give an update. I bought a new home in October and she’s finally in my backyard and doing well. We are working on lunging and realizing the bit won’t kill her. She is so smart. She keeps me on my toes! We have the ultimate bond as she also does with my very old mare from my youth. Can’t thank you enough and wanted you to know she is being very well taken care of. Here is a pic from a month ago, shedding off winter. Love her to pieces. –Kristin
