It is an outstanding shelter for horses!
In these times, it's important that shelter be available for horses when their owners can no longer keep them. MHWF does a great job.
They help horses that people would otherwise send to slaughter.Give our beloved beauties a second chance
It does good work
MHWF is an awesome horse rescue that does amazing work. Every time I look at their adoption page and see happy, healthy horses there, it makes me smile.
This shelter seems to put the horse first and very carefully places each one. I appreciate their honest evaluations.

Always there for the horses most in need.

Awesome horse haven!
They do a wonderful job providing shelter and care for horses
Washington, Connecticut All horses must be saved ! This is a great shelter, all shelters need help
The shelter has taken in many area farm horses as well as riding horses who have been neglected or abused. They have shown most loving care to all of them an d perhaps rescued from starvation or pure neglect.
I adopted a great horse from them. Everyone loves him. Keep up the good work!
This is a small group doing meeting a large need in the horse community
They need our support more now than ever before. Our local shelters are so important!
Just supporting our local efforts.......
The Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation is headed by two wonderful folks that take loving and careful care of all the horses they are so very passionate about!
An excellent place! I hate to image what the horses would do without them.
I love any place that helps out animals as I am a big animal lover
Good American people caring about humain issues
Dedication and loyalty to horses... need I say more?
What they do for these horses is wonderful.
They do great work
What they do is just amazing. Thanks to them more horses are alive and healthy. =)
For all the good works they do in our area. Thank you!
they do good work!!
Caring committed people.
I have never seen a horse rescue/donation program so dedicated to making sure that each horse has their individual needs met. They are true heroes to the horses.
Keep up the good work!!!Amazing job you are doing!
They do wonderful things for the horses providing much needed care and love. I vote for their commitment and hope.
awesome, caring quality people!
Whats not to love about a center that cares for creatures suffering from neglect and abuse?
They were instrumental in the rescue of fantastic Arabian mares!
Horses are part of the foundation of this country. Where would we be without the Horse. They helped deliver our mail. They transported doctors. They are the way of life. God gave us this wonderful creature, we need to care for it. This Refuge is helping to keep horses alive and well. God Bless them for that.
they take the true symbols of our heritage and bring them back to the strength that represents our great nation..for horses are what helped this nation to grow and to expand..they were the trucks and cars that helped to build America for the first 200 hundred years of our founding
its the best!!!!!
Good friends adopt horses here and food is short so they need help.
You'll never find more caring people!
A friend of mine adopted the most wonderful straight Egyptian gelding from Midwest Horse Welfare and he turned out to be a true blessing! There are so many more of those "blessings" that Midwest Horse Welfare has helped. The organization is truely a wonderful group of people...and horses!
They are awesome!!!
I like the fact that they are offering help to those people that need it. And with the economy were it's at there are alot of them.
They do their best to find good, forever homes for horses in need.
Helping animals in need
Wonderful things happen at this shelter!
Because they care. They are not just a shelter they treat the animals like family
what amazing work you!
What a fantastic thing you are doing--'Kudos' for caring for these beautiful, magnificent creatures!!
Because it's great!
I have met these guys personally and they do a great job. They really care and go the extra mile to ensure great care, and also show their love through photos and online updates. They deserve every bit of respect for the love, work and compassion that they share with not only the horses, but all kinds of animals, and their great personalities. You guys deserve every penny!
This is a nice clean facility that takes nice care of unwanted horses.
They are the best. I, almost, wish I could live there.
They take great care for the animals they shelter and rescue
The great they are doing. Caring individuals helping animals in need.
The pictures of the animals that have been there, say it all. They come in, skin and bone and are nutured and loved and come out perfectly healthy
They have habiliated some great horses that needed loving
Thank God there is a haven for these animals whether intentionally abused or their owners just cannot provide for them any longer. These VERY special people give so much with so little, how can anyone's heart not be moved to try and help...
Because of the tremendous way the foundation helped us with three beloved horses at a time of terrible financial loss. I will be grateful forever that our horses could live and be loved again and I will never forget this foundation.
This is where are friend on mine got her beautiful horse. She can do nothing but praise Midwest Horse on the wonderful job they do
MHWF is a fantastic program with Scott & Karen who go above and beyond to help place the horses. Their endless sacrifice is truly admirable and we need more people out there like them
Rescuing horses so much time and energy. The people involved with this welfare foundation are clearly devoted!
This shelter has gone far beyond expectations in rescuing horses, rehoming them and maintaining horses with particular needs until suitable placements can be found.
Trying to give a helping hand to a local shelter.
Midwest Horse Welfare is the greatest place that we have ever been. They are such wonderful people and they really do care about each and everyone of these animals. Help them help the animals!
they care so much&take such good care of the horses!
MHWF works so hard to help horses and Scott and Karen are always there to answer questions and give advice.
The rehab photos speak very loudly to the kind of care and compassion Karen and her team provide for horses in need at the Midwest Horse Welfare Foundaitno, Inc. in Pittsville, WI.
They get to know these animals so well, when you tell them what you are looking for in a horse they find the perfect fit. They really care about these animals. I have seen 2 horses that have come from there and they are wonderful. Thanks for all you do.
Their willingness to help!!
I have adopted from MHWF and have found good matches. The board members have dedicated their lives to helping horses. 24/7. The support through their forum of knowledge is priceless. They are in need of so many things, but continue to go without in support of the horses. They give the donors peace of mind knowing their beloved horses will be assured a forever place free from slaughter, abuse and neglect.
Horses are magical in their understanding of children and they have the ability to help heal humans with special problems. We have no less ability to heal abused and wounded horses...to restore them to the wholeness we desire for all living things.
I think it is wonderful that they save so many horses and adopt them out to good homes. They give these equines more than one chance for a better life.
The photos are a true testimony of the good work they do.
Why do you love Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation, Inc?
Excellent equine rescue facility. Great care of these horses, and excellent guidelines of the organization to ensure good home placement.
The before and after pictures of what this awesome organization has done, say it all. Fabulous job!
MHWF is a place that loves the horses and any other animal that comes through there. They ensure that horses are placed with the people they are compatible with. Even if that means ticking a few people off. Its all about the animals for them! This is the way a rescue should be!
They do care about the horses and do the best that can be done for them. I wouldn't have my beautiful Classy if it weren't for them. Thanks for all you do!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent shelter!!!
Karen and Scott at MHWF Give unwanted horses their Wings to Fly !
We adopted 3 wonderful horses from Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation.
This rescue is providing help for animals that may otherwise end up in unthinkable circumstances. With the economy the way it is, there are more horses than ever needing help. MHWF is doing all that they can for these horses, and they deserve all the help that they can get.
i think it is so good that they are there to give these horses a second chance for ghe good life in which they deserve. it takes a lot of work and money to do this. it takes terrific people to do this. Scott and Karen are my kind of people.
Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation provides a much needed service for our equine community.Tireless volunteers go above and beyond to provide safe and healthy environments for horses that might not have a chance elsewhere. Scott and Karen have put their lives on hold for the benefit of others.
They treat every horse in their care with dignity and respect and give them a safe and loving place to stay until a new home is found.
iAM VERY IMPRESSED ABOUT THEIR POLICIES ON PLACING ANIMALS TO GOOD HOMES FOR LIFE AND THE OPTION OF RETURNING THEM IF THE ANIMAL DOES'T SUIT THE NEW OWNER'S NEEDS OR EXPECTATIONS PLUS THEY HAVE GREAT PLACEMENT SUCESS STORIES.
They care so much and do such a great job.
Because they care so much!
they keep the welfare of the horse first and they try to save as many as they can
They keep the welfare of the hose first, always.
This is a last chance stop for so many horses. MHWF shows equal compassion for all horses.
My friends have a wonderful success story from this shelter with a past adoption, and I really appreciate everything that the MHWF does for horses in need.
Great shelter in Wisconsin.
Horses deserve better than they are getting
MHWF is not only committed to rescuing horses in need of help, but to getting them back on track and to a loving home. I've seen countless horses pass through their website over the years and can't wait until the day that I am able to contact them when I'm ready to adopt one myself.
They care so much for the horses they take in. What ever it takes to get the horse to a GOOD home they will do.
They are awesome! I have followed their rescues from the very beginning. They deserve all the help they can get!
Help horses and oweners that can no longer care for them and place them in loving forever homes.
They take great care of their animals
It's a great cause, that helps horses whenever, and wherever they can :)
This program has saved the lives of many horses and has given them the opportunity for a new chance at life that otherwise they might not have gotten. Most counties have a humane society for cats and dogs but what do you do with a 1200lb animal that has been abandoned? This program is a stop gate to help and educate.
Knowledgeable Horse people Who truely care what happens to horses
They do a 24/7 job because it is needed and they have the special strength for the work. Money is a struggle, this is an NPO that is completely run by volunteers. No one is drawing a salary and every penny of help is greatly appreciated.
They do WONDERFUL THINGS!!!!!!!!!
They help horses in need and give them a second chance at life that they normally wouldn't ever have! That takes a special bunch of people with alot of compassion and time to care and nurture these special creatures! My hat goes off to all of them!
just Great
Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation
I love that Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation are taking care of horses that other people could no longer take care of themselves and they have very good follow through. They have done a great job and will continue to into the future. I am a supporter and I like that they get information to other horse owners to help horses get the utmost care.
MHWF is all about the horses. They truly care and are wonderful people.
We love Sydney, a horse that lives at our boarding barn who was rescued by MHWF. He was in rough shape and really has flourished into a happy and healthy boy. Thanks MHWF!
Midwest Horse welfare Foundation is a worthy charity. Their commitment to each and every horse that finds it way to their fields is truly amazing. No matter what the condition of the horse upon it's arrival they spend countless hour working on the physical and the emotional condition of the horse.
My shelter has a heart, adn it shows. Horses are are very, very well cared for.
they take on the responsibilities of something needed in the equine world
They care for animals that no one else will care for. Most of these animals would be put to death if not for them. They are very dedicated to helping horses in need.
It's an awsome shelter and great people....
A great organization that is dedicated to helping horses in need. They do amazing work! (If you want proof, go to the MHWF website and read the stories of Baby Cakes and Gracie.)
They do excellent work on a very thankless task. The world needs more people like them.
Happy horses and happy people!
How can you not love a place that does the amazing work that they do?!
My daughter adopted a wonderful horse from Midwest. They are excellent.
Great people run this shelter!
they take excelklent care of the horses and are very caring
because it's the best!
They do great work!
Midwest truly cares about not only taking care of the horses they bring in but making sure they are going to good homes with people that share their same passion about the well being of horses. My wife adopted one of our horses from Midwest and they were wonderful to work with and really made sure that the adoption was the best thing for both Barnaby and us. He is great horse and very much loved by everybody at the barn. Thank you Midwest. Very much!!!!
They love there job.
Because every horse deserves a wonderful home : )
For all the horses that need a home that will love them forever
They take really good care for the animals...even after adoption!!!!
every animal desires a chance:)
Caring people with a wonderful cause. The horses get another chance to be in a wonderful home.
My friends say it's the best !!
A bunch of great people working for a great cause!
MHWF and their people are the best! A few years back I was in a position where I needed to rehome my horse, Charley. MHWF took him in and found him an awesome home!! Thanks!!
My sister loves you!
They do a great job providing a needed service.
The people Scott and Karen are honest and incredibly caring about what they do. I have donated a horse and also adopted one.
very very special program. Horses are who have never known love are loved from day one. these guys rock!!!
It is a wonderful place and it does the community and beyond a great service. Not to mention what a wonderful place for the horses.
the Midwest Horse shelter provides animals a safe haven when no one wants them or those who have them can not provide the care they need. They not only provide a shelter but provide love and care for each animal. The dedication and love they show to the animals in their care is very special.
Great people and great program. Even though I complain about the extra work, the donkeys, pony and peacocks are great! :-)
MHWF is a very worthwhile cause, saving horses from untimely slaughter. We love our adopted gelding, Windy William!
The Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation is the BEST !!
One look at the before and after pictures was enough for me.
They started out with just courage, heart, compassion and dedication to horses in need of understanding, proper care and loving homes. With very little funding they've accomplished so much, saving the lives of many horses. It's a tremendous undertaking, the saving of even one horse's life, I know because I speak from experience. What MHWF has done is truly amazing. With additional funding they could do so much more. Please give them serious consideration when you distribute your award. Thank you.
they are the best!! The horses in there care have the best chance at a good life, no matter what there start was.
It's doing the right thing well.
Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation does a great job of rehabbing and finding good homes for rescued horses, but they could do a lot more of this good work if they had more funds to work with.
These guys go above and beyond for their horses. I've been lucky enough to adopt two wonderful little Andalusian Lawn Gnomes named Bravo and Lito from them. They offer homes to horses who wouldn't have anywhere else to go. Thanks to MHWF for all they do!!!
LOVE everything about the Foundation & the people who run it!!
MHWF is doing a fantastic job rehabbing and rehomeing horses.
The people are wonderful, the horses are wonderful!
So much time and effort are put into matching the right horses with the right people, and that all the horses are put into safe and loving homes
Midwest horse welfare foundation really cares about al their animals and take such good care of each and every one of them. They try to meet the needs of the horses as much as the rider. Even horses that cannot be ridden have made beautiful pasture pets for people looking for companionship to the horses they already have. I have doanted a horse as i know they took their time to place him in a home to meet his special needs. I cannot say enough about midwest. They sure have my vote! keep up the good work.
hard work, dedication and loyalty to giving these horses homes. taking in horses that would barely survivie and turn there lives around and find them loving homes, never giving up!!
Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation gets my vote, cause they do wonderful things for horses in need.
MidwestHorse Welfare Foundation gets my vote because they are careful and thoughtful to where they place their animals.
GO MHWF!!
Good luck!!
Dynamite and devoted work!
Because the job they are doing is so difficult and so desperately needed.
Good luck! You guys are doing a wonderful job! Keep up the great work!
Good luck guys!
They rescued one of my horses that I thought I had sold to a good home. They went out of their way to contact me to let me know. They have since found another wonderful home for him.
With the economy the way it is, we really need a caring shelter that will look out for horses that need homes.
It is expensive to provide this type of care and the $10,000 would go along way in helping more horses that need homes/care.
They make a difference that's why!!!
MHWF is a well run organization. The facilities are kept in excellent condition as are all of the animals. Karen and Scott who oversee the program, go far beyond what would be considered normal duties to ensure that all possible information is available on each animal along with excellent photos and videos to help adoptors find partners and animals find excellent homes. Adopters are well screened for their ability to care for and provide good homes.
I've dealt with many rescue/placement programs over many years and found MHWF to be the most well run, organized and honest. This shelter continues to provide a service far beyond what should be expected and yet does so, it seems, with ease.
because of all the good they do and they have a wonderful website full of valuable information
Great people doing a wonderful service for horses and the community
They're the best!
I have never seen a horse rescue do as much good for there horses as this one. This group consists of people who honestly love the horses.
These people are truly doing what they were meant to do! you couldnt find better people who care more about animals then they do!!!
They are a horse nirvana! These people really know the true meaning of horse care.
They're the best!
well geez......why WOULDN'T ya love MHWF???
I can't think of a more deserving shelter.
They do an outstanding job! Horses couldn't be better than to be there.
Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation, Inc. never stops caring!
They go out of their way to help horses in need
They do an amazing service!
it loves horses!
For the love of horses!
Yeah Wisconsin!
I check out there site at least twice a week. I can't wait to own some acres and adopt a handful of senior pasture buddies.
Scott and Karen do a great job and deserve this. Please help them out.
Horses are animals that people forget need help as much as dogs or cats.
We got two wonderful horses from them, wish we could help more find great homes.
I have enjoyed the auctions to raise money and seeing how wonderful this foundation can take in a horse, and rehabilitate it. They are so dedicated to love such a beatiful animal
I adopted a real jewel...Ruby! This shelter is the real deal run by great people.
Anyone who helps the horses get loving homes is a friend of mine.
Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation helps horses find home.
Why do you love Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation, Inc? Because they are willing to take horses in and make sure that they have a loving home.
Lassard
Scott and Karen at Midwest Horse Wlefare Foundation are wonderful. They have helped with finding a wonderful home for a horse I loved but could no longer keep at home. They really care about their horses and bend over backwords to make sure they find loving homes.
Words cannot express what a great organization MWHW is. Scott and Karen go the extra mile to ensure that the animals who come into their family - for whatever reason - are well cared for. Not just when they are at their facility but even years after they have been adopted.
They love the horses for who they are, God's creatures. They do what needs to be done, when it needs to be done for the best interest of the horses. They also help horsey people. Good sound shelter!
I love Horses. They require lots of space, and are frequently left behind in the Animal Welfare groups.
Dedicated to my best friends!
The Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation does a lot of good and should get this money to help them with everything they do
We love our Pony and Donkey Boys from MHWF. They are the best!
Scott and Karen are great people who really care about the horses they help.
I have a horse from MHWF that means the world to me. She is 23 and as dependable and steady as they come. I love her with all of my heart and feel she really takes care of me and looks out for me when we ride. On the other hand, I have donated a 3 year old horse to them and saw a wonderful couple, whom I've come to know as friends, adopt her and care for her. I get regular updates and know she is safe and loved!
Great organization
Quite simply, this is an outstanding organization!!!!!
MHWF DOES A GREAT JOB PLACING HORSES THAT NEED HOMES. WE ADOPTED FROM THEM.VERY DEDICATED FOLKS TO THE WELFARE OF THE HORSES THEY CARE FOR!!!!!!!!
I have donated 3 horses to Midwest Horse Welfare and I can attest they do a fabulous job of screenings new applicants who want to adopt a horse and also do an excellent job of matching an adoptee to the right horse. Excellent people -- Excellent Foundation!
Provide horses and their riders with the immense joy that comes with companionship.
This is a wonderful organization!
They care deeply and provide a very needed service to help save these abused horses with sincere kindness and love.
Their work with abandoned and abused horses shows their knowledge and love of this animal. They are concerned for the welfare of the horses and want to see good matches when horses are adopted.
They have devoted their lives to the rescue of these wonderful creatures.
Their work speaks for itself.
I have friends who have and love horses.
I see how they take horses that have been abuse and turn the same animal into a beautiful horse that has a 2nd chance in life.
First class operation. They are what they profess to be in it for the welfare of the horses. They aren't afraid of public scrutiny and run a transparent operation whether the decsion they are making is popular or not. The health, safety and welfare of the horses going through Midwests program is first and foremost.
Because I have always liked horses and I don't like peoples' idea of them as fodder for dog food and glue factories
Words can't express how wonderful this organization is as well as the people who run it.
Because Mel Dawber is a part of it and she is wonderful!
MHWF is a very responsible organization. They take create care of the horses they have and work very hard to give them great homes.
they blessed me with two wonderful ladiesto care for, love and enjoy.
wonderful place-this past summer we adopted a horse from there.
wonderful, trusting foundation that is caring & respectable, Scott & Karen & the rest of the board care about the horses & make certain they are able to find good families to live with
they really care about the horses!!
They take such good care of abused horses as well as horses in need of a good home.
They offer so much for the horses in need, great people who love to help others and care for the welfare of the horses tremendously! Any horse would be lucky to be a resident there!
The Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation Inc. does so for horses in need. It aslo gives an outlet to those that want to help, but either don't know how or don't have the time. It's a foundation you can be proud to support!
These people have dedicated their lives to making sure horses from all backgrounds find good homes. They are probably the most ethical and moral people I have dealt with regarding animals.
........they take really good care of the animals!
The workers there are dedicated to helping the animals
They are devoted to the horses and other animals they care for, they are fulltime rescue workers. They have good contacts with the horse associations in our state of Wisconsin.
They are saving horses.
I always hear about the MHWF and plan on adopting a horse from them really soon. SO many success stories and so many people finding wonderful horses there. This is due to their hard work and dedication.
I love how no job is too big, and how in-depth the adoption process is. Scott and Karen are the most kind and understanding people on this planet. They know when to be tough and stand their ground and when to open their hearts. I wish there were more individuals out their with their generousity and love. This world is a mush better place with them in and their program. So many horses and human lives have been touch by the program. Everyone and Every Horse that passes through their doors have a second chance at love, kindness, happiness, and security. They are truly one of a kind!!!!
They work hard to save forgotten horses sent to auctions and don't discriminate when it comes to the old or not perfect horses, they give them a chance too!
They put their heart and soul into every horse that goes thru their program. They are the best.
MWHF loves the horses for what they are, God's creatures. They help educate the public on the over-population of horses. They help people with horsey questions also. Great people. Great horses. Great cause!
I think Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation is the best!! They work so hard to find good homes for the horses they rescue and horses that are donated.
This organization does a wonderful job with abused and abandoned horses.
They shine a bright and welcome light on horse adoption. Caring honest,respectful and educational are just a few of the amazing words that discribe MHWF. We are blessed that this program resides in the state of wisconsin. Thank you Karen and Scott for all that you do!
they are honest
After following this organization for two years as a forum "lurker", my family adopted three horses within a six month period. This is the main charitable organization that I donate to because I know every penny taken in goes to the welfare of the animals in their care. Also if I go visit I can get Spotted Cow.
The horses.
A great place to find some great horses!
I think it is great what these people do for these horses.
Their devotion and hard work is amazing. Thanks to Scott and Karen for all you do.
Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation does amazing things in the lives of the horses they touch, one horse at a time. They are a blessing to those they reach. If only they had a shelter in every state!
they are doing a awesome thing
I have been following Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation for over 5 years and find that they have been consistent in everything they do and say. They are truthful and up front and put the horses before themselves. Scott and Karen live a simple life on their farm and all the money that is donated goes directly to the horses in their care. I have watched them save many horses and match them with loving owners over the years. They are the only charity that I donate to because I believe in them and the work they do. Please give MHWF your votes.
In this economy it is amazing that their good works with the horses continue.
They made our dreams come true!! They truelly are for the horses!!!!!
I are a wonderful organization that does great things for horses!!
The people in Wisconsin have such big hearts and are wonderful to animals and their neighbors.
MHWF is amazing. The work they do to help horses in need is astounding, not to mention they match hundreds of outstanding horses with forever homes on top of it. Awesome!
I couldn't think of a more deserving rescue! They have done great work in the lives of so many horses!
How much space do I have to tell you what MHWF does for horses in need and the humans who adopt them. Their dedication and sense of loyalty to the equine kind is impressive to say the least.
Because life without our Longears would be very boring! This organization does wonderful work!
They have made such a difference in so many horses' lives, for the better.
I have a great deal of respect for all the fine work this rescue does. I believe the program is responsible, ethical and humane.
I think it is great that midwest does everything that the horses need.
Why do you love Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation, Inc? I love everything about the program, the people, the rules that make sure the horses are going to good homes and monitored for 5 years, the honest deep down love for all animals, the drive to do right by rescued horses as well as donated horses. This is the best program out there.
They have wonderful horses needing homes and follow up on adopters to ensure that the horses are taken care of after they leave the rescue. Also have years of experience and can offer advice on a lot of things.
horses are really in crisis---they need us too!
I love most that the Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation takes all the time needed for each horse; when called upon to give a super-human amount of time to enable a socially crippled to horse gain the confidence it needs to exist with other horses, they have the knowledge and caring to do everything necessary.
They are the real deal!!!
If Diana loves it I love it.
I just want to help out the shelter and the hores,they need a loving home also.
They realy put the horses first. Plus that's where Sydney came from.
I have a good friend who adopted a horse from the shelter.
Because they re-homed 2 of our draft horses that we could no longer care for. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
It's always about the HORSES.
The welfare of the horses is always their first concern. They are a top notch organization.
I have connections to two MHWF horses, and they are fantastic animals!
I too don't know anything about this organization but I am a HUGE fan of any shelter that will help horses in need! I have fostered/adopted many cats and dogs but it's a ton more difficult for a horse to be helped due to their size and needs. I have one and they need alot more room and care than a smaller indoor pet. Cudos to those who help the hooved!!!
I don't know it, but I just want to help the many horses that are suffering so badly in this economy, and this organization might have a chance, however small, at winning on of the prizes, hopefully.
I just want to help the horses, and supporting this shelter does just that
They are great people and do a great job.
the best because they really do rehab & rehome
They are all about doing what's best for the horses. They are very caring people. I have learned alot from them and the forum.
they are the most caring people they rescue and rehab these horse's and find them awsome new forever home's. they have helped out soo many horse's and people . people who are really having dreams come true for them by getting there first horse and darn good ones at that!!! i just love MHWF and hope that i too will be able to take home a great horse one day!!!! Scott and Karen you two ROCK!!!!
Because they rock!
The shelter rules! Brag Brag Brag!
They accepted my 1/2 mare into their program and she found a great home!
Because it takes care of horses
So many caring, dedicated people!
MHWF is not only a safe haven for horses, but has an awesome forum that has TONS of great information from experts and experienced horse people.
This is a 24/7 shelter with alot of LOVE/CARE/DEDICATION that goes into these adoptable horses. MHWF is one of the very BEST shelters that I have known, and it DESERVES to be *on the TOP shelf*. It makes sure that the adoption is for the GOOD of the HORSES, and that their FOREVER HOME is a sincere SEARCH by a very DEDICATED organization. This organization is very UNIQUE...
I've heard stories from friends that this is the best place locally for horses.
No one deserves your vote more than this organization! Help them, to help more horses!
MHWF goes above and beyond to help horses at risk and in need. They have an adoption program that continues to protect the horses adopted through their programs. Scott's and Karen's committment to the horses in this program is unsurpassed.
The pictures show the story: they get better there. This shelter goes beyond the necessary.
MHWF is a premier provider of services for abandoned, neglected and abused horses, as well as a safe haven for folks who need a home for a much beloved equine partner. Everything they do is top-notch. But I would like to know why providing my birthdate on this voting site is "for my protection".
Anything that anyone does to help abused and neglected horses needs positive attention!
This is a wonderful organization that is dedicated to the care and ongoing welfare of the horses. They are selfless in their dedication, and are truly deserving of any financial help available.
They do a lot of great things for horses with very limited resources, unlike huge, well known shelters that are being promoted in magazines and on television programs. This money would mean so much to Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation. It is an outstanding organization and is truly deserving of this prize.
Too many times our poor horse friends are overlooked because they arent cute and cuddly and fit in a carry case. Horses take allot to keep them healthy and safe, they need all the help they can get.
This shelter does an outstanding job of trying to give horses a second chance. They are very committed to providing loving care for the horses and finding a good home for them.
care, commitment and unconditional love--what an amazing place!
Not too many places around to give horses a second change. They do an outstanding job of placement and follow up and even a better job of screening potential homes
Anyone who tries to better the life of a horse is number one in my book...
I've adopted two horses from MHWF, and would adopt many more if I could afford it. They are doing the type of work which I would love to be able to do myself. They do it for all of us who admire and respect horses for who they are, not for what they can do for us.
I just love horses. And too often their welfare is not protected.
My sister that died this year always loved and had horses. i voted for her and all the horses that need saving.
It's the best
My daughter adopted one of the horses they saved. If you care about horses, the Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation does make a difference, especially in these difficult times. Keep up the good work.
IN AN ERA WHEN 1 CAN'T AFFORD HOUSING, PETS OR FIND A JOB, CERTAINLY THE 1ST THING TO GO WOULD BE A PET- ESPECIALLY A HORSE!!!! THUS, THEY CAN USE ALL THE HELP THEY CAN GET TO CONTINUE SAVING SAME!!!!
Honestly, I've never been there... I love all animals, and it breaks my heart to see any animal that is not in a loving, caring home.
I picked Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation because as a former horse owner, and lifetime horse lover, I know how much it costs to maintain the health and nutritional needs of horses. I have no doubt that MHWF could use some extra love in the form of money!

i love horses
I love horse and have 3 of my owen.
I love MHWF because they are able to give a second chance to horses that otherwise may end up in a very bad situation especially with the economy the way it is. They need to be commended for all their hard work both Scott, Karen and all the volunteers that make it possible.
Because I believe in their mission of caring for and about horses!
MHWF helped make a dream come true for me when I adopted my wonderful warmblood Jay! They do great work on behalf of the horses and in today's economy, it's even more important that we have good solid rescues in place to help horses in need.
This shelter not only cares for immediate needs of the horses, but follows them and assures that they receive great care through their adoption contracts. They go over and above to make sure each horse receives the very best adopters and enjoys a great future.
My niece got a adopted a horse and the kids love it.
I am so glad that I found this place when looking for a horse. My daughter has been so happy with her horse that we got here.
What a wonderful shelter. I have seen their success stories in person....thank goodness for such caring people in this world.
I have adopted 3 AWESOME Belgian draft horses, that would not have come into my life without them!
MHWF is where I found my wonderful horse, after he was donated by people who cared enough to secure his safety in this organization. I'm forever grateful to Karen and Scott for their absolute dedication to the horses!
We love this place, glad we found it.
They care about both the horses and the people who surrender/adopt. They work tirelessly and selflessly to further the mission of MHWF. Woot! Woot!
They are dedicated horse people that put the horses health and quality of life as priority.
I have two fabulous horses adopted from MHWF and I can't imagine my life without them. Thank you MHWF!!
Karen and Scott are committed to helping animals and horses especially. They know what they are doing and don't use the shelter as a way of income in any way. They are very trusted in the horse community and love what they do. They're respectable people and their shelter is always kept up and very well taken care of!
They are awesome people who care about what they do. They work very hard to care for the horses and find the right prospective owner for the right horse.They have a neat forum that anyone can join in on, to ask a question, or just to chat.
It is all about the horses AND they do not draw a salary to do what they do unlike a lot of "shelters" out there! They deserve to win!!
A friend of mine wanted me to vote. So i did.
Karen and Scott put thier heart and souls into thier program. They are dedicated to finding good, lasting homes for the horses. The amount of quality riding horses donated to the program is a testament to how horse owners respect what they do and trust them.
The entire board of MHWF works tirelessly to ensure the welfare of equines in WI and across the US. In addition to rescuing and rehabing abused, neglected and abandoned horses, they are entrusted to find forever homes for horses donated to their program by caring owners. I have an adopted horse from MHWF, and if finances permit, would definitely adopt again!!
I have given 10 years of hard work and dedication to this organization and beleive it to be the standard of what an animal shelter should be. Of course, I am a bit biased...hehehe.
Honest, responsible, caring...they do such great work!
MHWF is a wonderful organization that matches horses with adopters to ensure that the horses are going to not only a good home, but a home that is right for them. If horses could vote, MHWF would win hands...or rather hooves...down.
MHWF is an awesome organization that truly cares. They match adopter with horse and insure that the horses that leave their care are going to good homes. They also have a great forum family on their website that gives everyone the opportunity to share advice and information. MHWF rocks!!!
Because it is all about the Horses
Midwest Horse Welfare Foundation is a great organization. They do a fantastic job of placing adoption equines with their forever family. If for some reason the horse needs to come back to the foundation, it can be returned to find a new home. They keep tabs on all the horses they adopt out and make sure they are properly cared for. They put alot of time and effort into caring for the animals and running the program. They would greatly benefit from some financial aid through this contest and deserve it as well.
Excellent organization run by excellent folks who are devoted to the welfare of equines, large and small. They are all too often forgotten and deserve the much needed help.
We adopted two great horses from here...they help so many horses and keep tabs on these horses once they are adopted to make sure they are well taken care of.
In this tough economy horses are taking a very hard hit. Many owners are having to give up their horses and there is such an overpopulation of horses it is tough finding new homes. MHWF really needs your help to try and win this contest to help fund their important work in helping all equines.
top shelters so far
We are in the process of verifying votes and will announce the final winners of our contest soon. Thank you!
