Tack Drive For MHARF

If you're a "horse person", there's a good possibility that you have one or two pieces of tack lying around the house, the barn, your basement, or as surprising as it may sound - in the tack room. And out of that collection of tack, maybe - just maybe - there's one or two "extra" pieces of tack that you've barely (or maybe never) used. Or, maybe your definition of "horse person" doesn't quite include horses, but you're a big fan of horse-style clothing and maybe you've grown out of that clothing. Whatever the case may be, MHARF would like to help you with this extra "horse stuff" that you might have - stuff like:

• New and used tack such as bits, bridles, saddles, leathers, stirrups, halters, and so on
• Horsewear (for both humans and horses) like blankets or boots
• Show clothes and assorted gear
• "Horsey" items such as artwork, collectibles, or nick-knacks

So if you have that blaze-orange sequined shirt that just doesn't fit anymore, an extra pair of leathers that you never used, or a blanket that just scared the beejeezus out of your horses to the point where you gave up on using it, give Dawn a call at 651-645-5162 and she'll help you arrange a means by which you can donate your new or gently-used "horse stuff".

MHARF "Horseless" Horse Drive, Auction, and Show

Yes, you read that right - we're presently in the planning stages of having our first "Horseless" Horse Drive, Auction, and Show. The idea is to have all the fun of your normal horse show, but without all those "nasty" side effects! You know the ones: the sleepless night before the show, all the work put into getting the horse ready only to have them roll in the nearest mud patch, and that empty feeling you get in your back pocket or purse when you get into a bidding war over that "Oh-so-cute" pony.

Before you think we've completely lost our minds, there is still a horse theme to this show - specifically, Breyer horses. We know you have 'em! We sure do! More than we'd care to admit, in fact. What we're hoping to do is have enough of these collectable horses to have ourselves a friendly horse show, complete with an auction, with the proceeds going towards the care of the real horses here at the Rescue. The current plan is to have this show coincide with the MHARF Tack Swap that were hoping to hold this fall.

So, if you find yourself with duplicates, extras, or you're just plain tired of having all these horse models around the house (ok, we admit that we're reaching on that last one), consider setting them aside for the MHARF "Horseless" Horse Drive, Auction, and Show. If you'd like to express your interest in this, or have questions/ideas about the show, please call the Rescue at: 763-856-3119 or via e-mail: info@mnhoovedanimalrescue.org
