BROTHERS UNITED 🖤🥹

AVALANCHE HANOVER banked nearly $400,000 on the track, and his trainer, David Kuzara, who never stopped bragging about how special he is, wanted nothing more than a storybook retirement for him, and he got exactly that!

Adopter Dr. Megan, a former helper at Hanover Shoe Farms, worked, loved and adored broodmare Anadarko Hanover, so much so that when the opportunity came to buy her son, Acton Hanover, she jumped on it. Ever since, she has been on the hunt to find him a brother; but never expected it would be HIS real brother, Avalanche! David drove 10 hours to deliver this special boy himself and we couldn't be more happy. Congratulations to Avalanche Hanover, Acton Hanover, Megan & Tim on their happy full circle family!

Avalanche Hanover is one of over 300 horses placed into new careers with the help of the MMXX Team. Ready to find yours? Message us!

This is a bit long, but important to share ❤️ 15 Fascinating Facts About Horses’ Emotional Memory and Empathy

1. Horses hold one of the most powerful long-term memories among domestic animals — recalling people, voices, and events for decades.

2. They read human intent through facial expressions, distinguishing friend from threat long before a hand is raised.

3. A single act of kindness can echo for years — a horse may seek out the same person even after a long separation.

4. Trauma carves deep grooves — a horse may forever avoid a place, object, or person tied to fear.

5. They sense human emotion through voice tone, breath rhythm, and body tension — even from across a field.

6. They respond not just to fear, but to sadness, joy, or confusion — silently, instinctively.

7. Mirror neurons in their brains allow them to feel what others feel — true empathy in motion.

8. When tears fall nearby, a horse may approach softly, lower its head, and offer a gentle touch — comfort without words.

9. A wounded horse can form the deepest bonds with a patient human — shared pain becomes shared trust.

10. Horses are proven emotional therapists for PTSD, depression, and anxiety — healing hearts, not just bodies.

11. They grieve deeply — lingering by a lost companion or withdrawing in quiet mourning.

12. Once bonded, they memorize your personal rhythms — footsteps, breath, even the silence between.

13. Their memory isn’t just survival — it’s the foundation for profound connection with those who earn their trust.

14. With gentle consistency, fear can be rewritten into safety — even shattered trust can be rebuilt.

15. Horse empathy is biological fact, not folklore — their brains and hearts sync with human emotion in real time.

A trick a lot of horsemen use to help a horse understand that the snaffle goes over the tongue, not under. No, shortening the snaffle to create wrinkles does not help all horses… the twine lifts the center of the snaffle and blocks the tongue from slipping over. This happens maybe two colts a year that I resort to doing this. And it doesn’t take many rides to fix it.
