Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation, Inc.

Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation, Inc. Helping horses and their people since 2001. MHWF is a nonprofit 501c3 dedicated to helping horses. Dedicated to horse adoption and rescue.

Honesty, integrity and transparency. MHWF helps any horses who have found themselves in a transition in their life, whether that means that they wound up in a bad situation, neglected and/or abused, or their person could no longer keep them for whatever many different reasons that may be- they all need a place to go and they all need to be cared for and loved. Many horses wind up in very bad situa

tions of neglect, and not only do we help horses out of those situations and set them back on the right path in their lives, we also aim to keep horses from winding up in those bad situations. We strive to help as many horses as we possibly can and this includes taking in, rehabilitating and finding great homes for horses, as well as helping people through education and helping hand when it is needed. MHWF is dedicated to ensuring that each and every horse gets everything they need which includes proper feed, medical care, training and emotional wellness that includes proper space and capacity for the very best care. MHWF is a no-kill shelter, which means we never have and never will euthanize for space, and there will be horses that may have a long stay at our facility. It's not just about the numbers of horses, it is the quality of care and placement that are paramount to truly be a successful mission of real horse rescue and adoption. MHWF finds safe and wonderful homes for horses, and at the same time, educating people about owning a horse and horse adoption.

Celebration is in order! This is Haze with his wonderful human named Krissy. Not only did Haze celebrate his 21st birthday recently, but he and Krissy are celebrating 15 years together!! Krissy adopted Haze from MHWF 15 years ago, and we think that is an amazing milestone and are so grateful that Haze found himself such a great human to call his own. Here are a few words from Krissy:
"Happy Gotcha Day to the best boy! It's been FIFTEEN YEARS since I signed those papers, buddy. Fifteen years of amazing rides, a few frustrating moments, lots of smiles and laughter, some tears and all the love in the world. You've been there for me through a TON of ups and downs, always my steady eddy. I can't believe it's been 15 years since I hopped on that green, scraggly looking pony and decided to take a chance and bring him home. Thank you to Scott and Karen, who knew a match when they saw one and giving me the confidence to try. And all my friends that have helped me learn more about horses each and every day and have been there every step of the way. Happy Adoption Day, Haze. I hope to celebrate so many more with you, big guy."
Big congratulations to Haze and Krissy!!

We are thrilled to announce that Stormy got adopted and left for her new home on Sunday! Aubrie and Stormy spent some time together and also did some riding. They did fantastic together, and showed that they'd make a great liberty team too! Aubrie's family (mom Paula, dad Dan and brother Blake) are no strangers to horse adoption, and they have MHWF alumni named Dusty who they adopted back in 2021. Dusty is still doing great, at 27 years old now.
Everyone is so happy that Stormy found such a great home and we all look forward to hearing about her new adventures.

Thank you for choosing adoption again, and big congratulations to Aubrie and family and Stormy!

We are extremely happy to announce that Reese Marie has found some wonderful people to call her own! Reese got adopted this past Saturday and headed to her new home. Tracy and her family are no strangers to adoption, having adopted Princess way back in 2013,who lived to the ripe old age of 30, having 10 wonderful years together. They also adopted Chief, the amazing pony, back in 2020, and he's still going strong and causing controlled trouble like always. This time around Sky and Jeremy picked out a horse to share, and we wish them many happy adventures together.

A big congratulations to Sky, Jeremy and Reese Marie, and thank you for choosing adoption again!

Belle has the great news for everyone that she got adopted yesterday! We couldn't be more thrilled for her finding such a great home. She will be living with another MHWF adopted horse named Piccolo, if you remember that sweet little cutie who was adopted by Barb and family back on 4/20/20. Piccolo is doing fantastic, and Belle is really going to love her new home. Barb, Kevin and Clare came and met Belle and it was very easy for them to fall in love with her right away. We look forward to hearing of Belle's new adventures.
Thank you for choosing adoption again, and a big congratulations to Barb, Kevin, Clare, and Belle!

Shoshone sure did not want to be outshined by Cannoli finding himself a home, so she made sure she picked out an awesome human to call her own too! Shoshone poured on the charm, like usual, and Camille couldn't resist. We are so happy for both of them! Shoshone found herself an amazing home and we couldn't be more thrilled for all involved.
Thank you so much for choosing adoption, Camille, and big congratulations to you and Shoshone!

Holy Cannoli! Yes, that concentrated little package of greatness has found himself the perfect home! Jennifer and Scott came to meet Cannoli and seemed to know instantly he was going to be going home with them. Cannoli is definitely a rags to riches story, coming from a humane case back in September as a basically unhandled little stallion (he came in with Tiramisu and Bonet). He has turned into a wonderful gelding, and Jenn will be training this little powerhouse to drive, and eventually it sounds like some skijoring is in his future as well. We are absolutely thrilled that Cannoli has found himself such a great home and look forward to hearing about his new life and adventures!
A big thank-you and congratulations to Jenn, Scott and Mr. Cannoli ❤️

It looks like Victor is trying to start a new trend with his hay hat. I told him earlier today that he needed to be sure to eat plenty and keep drinking lots of water for this storm front we're experiencing. He's obviously a very good listener!

While it was a pretty cold and windy day, there were a lot of warm hearts here today. Cimarron got adopted and left for his new home with Nicole! Nicole came a couple of weeks ago looking for a good fit of a buddy for her horse and Cimarron seems to be the perfect guy for the job. I think there will be some riding in their future together as well. We are so happy that Cimarron found such an amazing home with Nicole!
A big congratulations to Cimarron and Nicole! 💕

Once again, a group of people came together and showed their outpouring of love and support in a huge way for these horses and making this yearly fundraiser a huge success. It's hard to find the words that express our extreme gratitude to every one of you, and thank you doesn't seem like enough, but THANK YOU!!!!! This was the 12th annual Valentine’s for Equines and you really brought it home for the horses! The horses send their love and gratitude from the bottom of their huge and ever so kind hearts. The velvet-nosed gang sends extra love to everyone who got them a Valentine this year. Our thanks are very heartfelt and sincere, and you really are all our special Valentine’s! The horses received a total of 537 this year! 💓💖

Everyone at MHWF and especially the horses send a special thank-you to: 💕❤️💕❤️

Miss Pearl wanted to remind you that it is Valentine's Day tomorrow and you still have time to send a Valentine to her, or any of the other velvet-nosed sweethearts here at MHWF.
𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬!
❤️Would you like to have a Valentine? Love is in the air, and we don’t want to see any lonely hearts at all. There are many in our velvet-nosed gang who would love a Valentine from you, every one of them are big sweethearts with lots of love to share! Wouldn’t you love a Valentine of your own? Please join us in supporting and celebrating rescue horses this Valentine’s by purchasing Valentine’s for rescue horses! Some of the equines here at MHWF now have been here for a long time for a variety of reasons, and they need lots of love and support. Many times we have horses here at our farm who aren’t listed publicly because they are part of a humane case or the like, and they need love too – and some new faces may even be arriving before Valentine’s Day.
💚 Valentine’s are $5.00 each and can be purchased through any of the "donate" buttons on our website.

💜You can even name which horse(s) you want to buy a valentine for in the donation note area and we will label that valentine with their name in big bold letters.

On Valentines Day, all of the valentines purchased will be tacked onto the front pasture fence, and all over the farm *virtually for photos and posted on the website.
🩷 100% of all the funds collected will go directly toward the care of the horses at Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation, present and future. There are quite a few long-term residents who need a little extra here and there and they wouldn’t be living their best lives without your support.
💞 This will be our 12th annual Valentines for Equines Drive and hopefully it will continue to keep growing every year. We can’t wait to see all of the Valentine’s hung on the fence lines and barn this Valentine’s Day!
Thank you again!
*PS. We will be adding the valentines to the pasture fences virtually. In previous years we hung real valentines on the fences. We are doing it virtually for several reasons. The biggest reason is that it takes hours and hours to fill out all the names on the valentines and then more hours in usually bitter cold stapling them to the fences. We have surely froze our butts off in February cold, and in the end, the wind tore a lot of the valentines off the fences pretty quickly and made a mess. Some of the horses also thought it was a good idea to eat some of the valentines. Last but not least, we replaced all the outer wooden fencing last summer and really do not want to ruin in by putting hundreds of staples in it. So, the photos will be posted like always, but the valentines will be added digitally.

Snow has a really great voice and her nicker will melt your heart every time. Snow is a now 27-year-old Mustang mare who arrived to MHWF 4 years ago, on a very cold January day, as part of a humane case. She was basically unhandled and in need of all of the cares that a horse needs and deserves. Your Valentine for any of the horses of MHWF helps not only Snow, but all of the horses like her who deserve to live a comfortable and happy life with all the things they need.

Great information from the American Association of Equine Practitioners
Did you know that the term "equine" does not just refer to horses, ponies, and miniature horses, but also includes donkeys, mules, hinnies, and zebras?
Even so, our donkey and mule companions do have some important distinctions to be aware of that make them different from horses. That said, it is important to be aware of these differences in order to provide them with the best care possible and identify when veterinary care may be required.
Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of topics that make donkeys and mules unique from horses. In addition, donkeys and mules also share several similarities with their other equine cousins as well.
If you have questions or concerns about any of your equine companions, please contact your veterinarian.
Thank you to Amy K. McLean, PhD (leading Donkey/Mule expert), University of California Davis for providing this information and to the Horse Owner Education Committee for reviewing it.

Miss Scotch Lace and Cowboy have the honor of announcing Valentine’s for Equines 2025. While every single equine here is sweet, there is something super extra sweet about Lace and Cowboy. Lace has had almost 28 years of practicing winning hearts over and Cowboy 18 years. They have won every single heart they has encountered in the past almost 4 years with us at MHWF.

Horse Adoption and Rescue

Honesty, integrity, compassion. The Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation, Inc. (MHWF), has been on a mission in Wisconsin to help bring awareness and education to the public regarding horse adoption, horse rescue and horse welfare since 2001. From the period of 2001 to 2018, MHWF has saved more than 1500 horses from an uncertain fate and have put more than 1200 horses into adoptive homes directly through MHWF's equine adoption program. The equines that come to MHWF receive the best of care and are provided a healthy environment where they can heal from neglect or abuse and feel like they are home, and will move on to be adopted when they are physically and emotionally ready and up to date with all of their cares. We are happy to work alongside the Wisconsin Horse Alliance to help facilitate their mission of working to ensure the safety and well-being of Wisconsin's horses, through empowering owners, coordinating resources, and educating the community. MHWF is continually striving to add more programs and services to help our equine community and equines throughout the United States.

MHWF helps any equines who have found themselves in a transition in their life, whether that means that they wound up in a bad situation, neglected and/or abused or their person could no longer keep them for whatever many different reasons that may be, they all need a place to go and they all need to be cared for and loved. Many horses each year wind up in very bad situations of neglect and anywhere between 70,000 to 100,000 horses wind up in the slaughter pipeline each year because of landing in the wrong spot. We are working to help as many horses as we possibly can and this includes taking in, rehabilitating and finding great homes for horses. At the same time, educating people about owning a horse and horse adoption. We want to see horse adoption be the route that more people choose when looking for an equine partner. We continue to add more ways of showing that rescued and adoption horses are just as great as any other horse out there, including our yearly Fun Show as well as the Midwest Rescue Horse Trainers Challenge.

MHWF's strategic goals include increasing equine adoption, being a support system for law enforcement and helping to strengthen cruelty laws, increasing awareness of support systems and help to build those systems available to horse owners to keep their horse, geld their horse or euthanize their horse when they are unable to accomplish this on their own. MHWF is a no-kill shelter, meaning that they do not euthanize horses for space, and sometimes there will be horses who will wind up spending many years with MHWF.
