Free horses!!!

MNRRP is waiving the adoption fee on the following wonderful horses. Each is available FREE to approved homes with a contract- the catch being we are asking a small donation to the program in return. This could be monetary, or bags of feed, beet pulp or bales of hay. Whatever you feel can be donated.

 "Hidden Character"  City is a 2005 16.1h, TB gelding who won nearly $60K on the track. He was retired this past fall and would benefit from the winter off. He has arthritis in his front right knee but will be suitable for recreational riding. City has an awesome personality, is easy to handle and gets along well in a herd. He will be easy to re-train and has a laid back attitude. Give him some time off and watch him blossom!

"Twister"  Weanling Tb colt. Papers are in order for registration. Sire is Late Edition out of an Irish bred mare. Twister was born with a crooked front leg - in just the short time I've had him, combined with corrective trimming, he's straightened out considerably. He will always toe out slightly on the front, but it will not effect his ability to be a riding or performance horse. He has a sweet personality and is easy to handle. He's halter broke and he leads well. He's been out in the pasture with the boys enjoying his childhood. He's so laid back I can see him being a kid's 4H project.

"My Topper" 2007 TB gelding -  If you have read our previous blog, Topper is the miracle horse. He's been fighting abscesses and now is on the mend. I'm hoping to find someone with a kind heart who will want to take Topper in and continue his rehab process. He doesn't need much - a pasture during the day, and a stall at night, and a watchful eye on his feet, along with correct hoof care. He has a lot to offer and is a very special horse. This guy needs a chance - with the winter off, he could be riding by spring. Eventually I think he's going to make a phenomenal kids horse. Topper won over $23K on the track and retired this fall.

"Hot Sax"  2003 TB mare - Sax was a recent feedlot rescue. Over the years she's won nearly $100K for her owners. Unfortunately, she has had a few leg issues along the way. We took films on her and she shows an old cannon splint and some ankle chips along with arthritis. Sax is a sweet mare, and would be ok living in someone's pasture as a companion horse. As of now we are planning on having her euthanized unless we can find a home for her.

ADOPTION FEES REDUCED FOR WINTER!

"Almost Dangerous"  Don't let the name scare you - Addie is as sweet as they come. She is 5yrs old and just doesn't want to race anymore. She bowed her RF tendon at 2, rehabbed and raced sound for 3 years. It's a low bow and doesn't effect her at all. She will be sound for any discipline - and we could see her excelling in Dressage or as a Hunter/Jumper. Addie is aprox 16.1h with excellent conformation and great breeding. She is by Prime Timber out of Private Pouf. Addie is available through MNRRP for $500 and located in Shakopee.

Proxy Fight" - This guy is absolutely stunning and amazingly athletic! Rigalo, as he's know around the barn, is a 10 yr grey TB gelding who was retired at 3 from racing. He has been re-trained and used in lessons for the past 5 years. He was also used as a trail horse for one season; however, he prefers to be in the arena. He has been free jumped and shows a lot of potential and talent. This horse can go in any direction. He does need a knowledgeable rider as we were told he does know his stuff. He has an extended trot to DIE for!!! Rigalo is a bit out of shape at the moment, but could be in the show ring by the fall. He's had only the best care and his owner donated him to MNRRP to ensure he found a wonderful home. Rigalo is aprox 15.3h and has substantial bone. He is an easy keeper and kept out on pasture. He is super easy to be around and his only vice is that he cribs on the fences. Rigalo is available for $600 and is located in Shakopee
