Great news and very happy story for both Yosemite Sam and Buckshot hot off the press! Yosemite Sam and Buckshot were both adopted, together, yesterday! Deena and Davina (mother and daughter) came to meet the boys after having discussed them both with us previously. They spent a good deal of time with the boys and wanted to take them both home! Deena's family adopted Jazzy (aka Jeff aka Callie's Light) back in June of 2025 and have done amazing together! They have great plan set in place to start both boys from the bottom up and have the rest of fall and winter to work with them and get them both going in the best direction. Yosemite Sam and Buckshot have so much to offer, and we know they will do their best with both of them. Yosemite Sam and Buckshot came to MHWF not having been ridden in some years and needed the right guidance to get them both back in a happy direction under saddle and we're so happy for what their future looks like.

A big congratulations to the boys and their new family, and thank you to Deena for choosing adoption again!

🎃🐴 HAPPY HALLOWEEN from the horses of Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation! 👻
We're not afraid of ghosts, witches, or goblins… but that suspicious purple porta-potty, who really knows what might pop out of there?! Not to mention that thing called an umbrella, looks like a regular old walking stick one minute, then boom, pops open into some giant flying bat monster! WHO APPROVED THAT?!
And forget trick-or-treating… we prefer sticking our heads over the fence and demanding CARROTS! 🥕
May your Halloween be full of treats, a little mischief, and if you’re out walking about, we hope there are absolutely NO scary culverts or any of those puddles that could be a portal to another scary dimension with monsters!
Have a SPOOKTACULAR Halloween! 🧡
Whinnies, snorts & spooky horse kisses,
The Horses of Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation 🐴🎃

💚🐴 RINGO HAS A BIG APPETITE… AND AN EVEN BIGGER PLEA! 🐴💚

🎉 IT’S HERE! IT’S HERE! The 10th Annual 2026 MHWF Feed Drive! 🎉

Meet Ringo! ❤️ At about 26 years old and 1,700 pounds, this big guy doesn’t have much left for teeth or grinding power. Along with the good quality feed, he needs soaked mash, alfalfa pellets, and beet pulp to keep him going. And this hungry senior can eat as much as FOUR normal horses combined! 😳

Winter is coming, and Ringo has a message for you: he and his horse friends are counting on us!

When you support the Feed Drive, you do more than fill a feed bucket. You help us say YES to horses rescued from heartbreaking situations, horses with nowhere else to go, and those who need our care for months or even years. You help turn hard-luck stories into happy endings. 💚

🌾 HERE'S HOW YOU CAN HELP FILL THOSE FEED BINS! 🌾

Call the Central Wisconsin Country Store – Allied Cooperative to order feed for MHWF, or stop in if you're local!

📞 715-387-1045

💚 Feed Drive Special:
✅ $3 off regular price
✅ $28.64 per bag, including tax
✅ Buy 12 bags, get 1 FREE!

⏰ DEADLINE: 6 PM MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9TH!

Every bag makes a difference. Every call helps. Every horse matters.

Please call today, buy a bag (or several!), and SHARE this post! Let's make sure Ringo and all his friends have full bellies through the long Wisconsin winter.

🐴 RINGO SAYS, “I’VE GOT FOUR HORSES’ WORTH OF APPETITE… NOW LET’S GET THAT FEED ORDERED!” 😂💚

📞 CALL 715-387-1045 TODAY!

25 years of years of feeding hope. 25 years of saying YES to the horses. The 10th year for the Feed Drive, so let's make this our best Feed Drive yet! 💚

🐎💨 WHERE ARE THEY GOING?! AND WHO LET THE RACEHORSE LEAD?! 😂🏁
Three horses. One mission. And apparently, absolutely NO time to explain themselves! 🤣
These are three of the newest adoption horses to make their way to MHWF. Hope, retired Thoroughbred racehorse, is out front, naturally. Old habits die hard! She heard there was a Feed Drive happening and decided she was NOT about to finish last when there’s Purina horse feed involved! 🏆🐴 Logan and Nugget are just as excited, but just not as fast. But seriously, folks… these three are running straight toward something BIG — the 10th Annual MHWF Feed Drive! 💚
And we need YOU to help us cross that finish line!
The feed you donate helps the Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation say YES to horses in desperate situations, welcome those who have nowhere else to go, and provide excellent care for the horses who call MHWF home for months, years, or even the rest of their lives.
Every bag matters. Every donation matters. And every horse deserves a full belly and a safe place to land. ❤️
💚 HERE'S HOW YOU CAN HELP:
📞 CALL 715-387-1045 and order Purina Impact Horse Feed through the Central Wisconsin Country Store – Allied Cooperative.
🐴 Special Feed Drive price: Just $28.64 per bag, including tax! That's $3 off the regular price!
🎉 BUY 12 BAGS, GET 1 FREE!
📅 The Feed Drive runs October 26 – November 9, ending at 6 PM on Monday, November 9.
You can call to order or stop in at the Central Wisconsin Country Store if you're local!
A HUGE thank-you to Central Wisconsin Country Store - Allied Cooperative and Purina for partnering with us for this 10th Annual Feed Drive during Check-R-Board Days! 💚
So, where are these horses going?
Straight toward full feed bins, happy bellies, and a whole lot of gratitude! 🐎💚
Now, let's make sure our retired racehorse doesn't have to outrun an empty feed bucket! 😂
📣 CALL TODAY: 715-387-1045
Please share this post, spread the word, and help us keep the feed coming for the horses who depend on us. Ten years of Feed Drives. Countless bags of feed. So many horses helped. And we couldn't do it without YOU! ❤️🐴

I think Ringo is discussing what treats he would like with his soaked mash, hopefully Scott got the message correct.
Ringo is a Belgian gelding, somewhere around 26+ years old who came into MHWF back in 2023. He stands around 17 hands tall! This big boy doesn't have much for teeth left and no real grinding power, so he eats a whole lot of mash everyday consisting of alfalfa pellets, beet pulp and senior feed. Boy, he loves his mash! We'll have to take a video to share of Ringo devouring his mash. :)

🐴 🐴 MEET HOPE… YOUR 2026 HAY DRIVE SPOKESHORSE! 🌾
Well, hello there, everyone! My name is Hope, and I’ve been elected to represent all my friends here at Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation (MHWF) for a very important announcement.
I’m an off-the-track Thoroughbred, and I recently arrived at MHWF, where I’m getting a second chance and the opportunity to find a wonderful forever home. I’m still the new girl around here, so I’m not entirely sure why the long-time residents chose me to be their spokesperson. 🤔
Personally, I suspect it has something to do with my stunning good looks. 😉 But enough about me… let’s talk about something that matters to EVERY horse here: HAY! 🌾
🌾 IT’S TIME FOR THE ANNUAL MHWF HAY DRIVE! 🌾
Here’s something you might not know: horses eat A LOT of hay! And with fall, winter, and spring ahead of us, we need a whole lot of it to keep every horse in our care fed, healthy, and happy through the coming seasons.
That’s where YOU come in!
Our friends and supporters have made it possible for MHWF to help horses like me since 2001. Now, we’re asking you to be part of this once-a-year effort to fill our hay supply and help carry us through the colder months and into spring.
💚 Every donation makes a difference!
Whether you can give $5, $25, $100, or $500, every dollar helps put hay in front of a hungry horse. And trust me, when hay arrives, you should see how quickly a group of horses can agree on something! 😂
You don’t have to be a horse owner to make a difference in a horse’s life. You just have to care.
🐴 THREE EASY WAYS TO HELP FEED OUR HORSES:
🌾 1. Donate right here on Facebook!
Use the Donate button on this post, if available.
🌾 2. Donate online!

💚 A PROMISE FROM OUR HERD TO YOU:
Donations designated for the Hay Drive go directly toward the cost of hay to feed our horses for the coming seasons. Your support helps provide a basic necessity that every horse in our care depends on, day after day.
MHWF is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity dedicated to helping horses and their people since 2001. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
📣 PLEASE SHARE THIS POST! Even if you can’t donate, sharing our Hay Drive with your friends, family, and fellow animal lovers helps us reach more people who might want to help.
From me, Hope, and all my velvet-nosed friends here at MHWF, thank you for being part of our safety net. Every bale matters, every donation counts, and every act of kindness helps keep our hay nets and bellies full! 💚🐴🌾
Let’s make this a hay-filled season for the entire herd!
With love (and an appetite!),
Hope 🐴

Pictured in this photo are Lolly, Roxy, Snow, Peanuts, Victor, Lace and Cowboy. What do these horses have in common with each other? They have all been here at MHWF more than 3 years, with Victor having been here for almost 7 years now. Snow, Peanuts, Lace and Cowboy have all been here over 5 years, Roxy 4 years, and Lolly 3-1/2. What do they have in common with all of the horses who have much shorter stays at MHWF before they find homes? Besides the fact that they all get great care and are very happy at MHWF, they also all eat hay. It’s never as easy to fundraise for these horses who were high risk of winding up in bad place, or came out of a bad place and found themselves in the care of MHWF as it is for those horses who immediately pull at the heartstrings upon arrival. Their ongoing care is just as important as their intake, and the hay drive is very important fundraiser to be able to pay for all the season’s hay needs. How can you help all the horses of MHWF to ensure their well-being and safety, as well as ensuring that horses who need help can come in and get the help they need? ❤️You can help tremendously by donating to the Hay Drive! Every penny makes a difference and is deeply appreciated by all, whether that is 5 dollars or 500 dollars, you make a positive impact.
❤️You have never let us down, in fact, the last few years, you have come through in a really big way and have taken care of the Hay Drive in record time. We sincerely hope fellow horse lovers will come through for the horses once again. We are delighted to be able to say that even though we have a lot of horses at MHWF and a lot of them with special needs, we were able to haggle and keep our Hay Drive goal fairly low, all things considered.
If you can help with a donation toward the 2026/27 Hay Drive, we can sure use it. Donations are tax-deductible and 100% of the funds raised for the Hay Drive go directly to the cost of hay to feed the horses this season.
💚 Donating to the Hay Drive is easy and there are multiple ways to help.
💚 You can donate directly on this post on the donate button, you can simply send a check or money order to our office, or you can use any of the "Donate" buttons on our website to send your donation with your credit or debit card, or PayPal account. We will reply to every donation that is received.
