Arata 👺
Arata is a weanling 12.1 hand spirited Friesian X filly. She’s got a lot of thoughts and feelings about life. She’s a cute mover and has the most adorable fuzzy fetlocks from her Friesian heritage. She’s supposed to be crossed with Morgan and certainly looks it. Will be a fancy filly for anything you dream! UTD on vet and farrier. 500 adoption fee

Calvin 🐻
Calvin is a 2 year old 14.1hh qh type guy. He is sporty and a stock built type that would make an excellent barrel/roping horse with size/build. He is shy on the ground and has a little bit of baby brain, but he handles good and lunges nicely. Spent 30 days at a professional trainer being handled, wearing a saddle / bridle, lunging, leading, picking up feet etc. This is going to be a nice boy! Snap him up before you get beat by him in the show ring. UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 1000

Chunky 🦏
Chunky is a weanling 12.2hh haffy X gelding. He can be a bit of a bully likes to his friends and people, and when he’s annoyed he can be enthusiastic and wild in hand. NOT a first baby to bring along for someone but will be great for someone experienced. He’s going to be cute and very athletic. UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 800

Kruiser 🚘
Kruiser is a weanling 12.2hh DRAFT CROSS gelding that is most likely a Dutch cross. We think maybe with draft. He is friendly but does need to work on manners/personal space. He loves to give and get attention. He’s super cute with all that chrome! UTD on vet and farrier. 600 adoption fee

Persephone 👑
Persephone is a 12.1 hand coming 2 year old QH Cross. This filly is NICE and sporty looking. She’s a little flighty and athletic type. Definitely needs an experienced handler. Could be great for English or western sport. Nicely built and good mover. UTD on vet and farrier and ready to find her forever home. Adoption fee 300

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Oscar 🍪
Oscar is a 5-6 year old 16hh Friesian/Morgan/Standie gaited guy with hair for days (seriously Fabio would be jealous), quiet friendly guy, wiggly and green under saddle but quiet and not spooky, I’d call him advanced beginner safe only because he’s young: a few more miles and he’s for anyone. He is super good and would love to trail ride with his forever person. He will go FAST! We do not get horses this age this well behaved often, especially not in gelding hair models with a smooth gait. Please don’t be annoying requesting a thousand videos / pictures / etc because he will be adopted LONG before we film them - he would be $25,000 if was being offered for sale by someone else privately (and be worth EVERY penny) so he’s already on a fire sale. Why he ended up where he did, we have no idea but this sexy sweet boy won’t last long: he is a true diamond once in a lifetime horse. UTD on vet and farrier. 3500 adoption fee

Old Jake 👴
Old Jake is a 20 year 16.3hh draft cross (we believe perch x) gelding. Jake is sweet but shy from his life as an Amish work horse, though wants to please, walking is truly his favorite speed and would love a home that would give him quiet attention and take him for walks down the trail with a buddy. He is beginner/husband safe as long as he has someone to follow when outside of the ring (just gets fussy/unsure when by himself— nothing an advanced beginner couldn’t handle). He is sound! Sweet guy and ready to find his forever home. Some more polish and he’d make a nice up / down teacher type. Wears front shoes. UTD on vet and farrier. 900 adoption fee

Ruby 🥀
Ruby is a 14.1 hand said to be registered 8 year old Morgan mare. Holy wow she is nice. Just came back from 30 days at a professional trainer and is w/t/c under saddle. She could be a fancy show pony for the ring and is the dream size. Not for a kid at this time unless they’ve brought along green ponies before. A real diamond in the rough. Wears front shoes, UTD on vet and farrier. We will start showing her and adoption fee subject to increase accordingly. Adoption fee 1500

Daryn 🐻
Daryn is a 16hh 15 year old unbranded standie cross gelding. He is gaited, very sweet and quiet on the ground and easy to handle. He is also a good boy under saddle and is advanced beginner safe for trails. He’s working on learning to cross water, bridges, etc and is being taken out daily on long rides. A nice future trail or please horse for someone at a nice size! UTF on vet and farrier. 900 adoption fee

Pizza Girl 🍕
Pizza Girl is a 14hh 8 year old lady that needs a home with some appreciation for the long ears! She is very shy to approach and a little tricky to catch. She does ride wt, and is very nicely put together so we think she would make a really nice riding mule project for someone! She’s got a nice demeanor on the ground and is easy to handle. UTD on vet and farrier. 700 adoption fee

Joanna’s Dream 😴
Joanna’s Dream is a 13.3hh 8 year old mule lady named after how much our trainer just loves a smart and sassy mule just like her. 😂 JayDee looked at the saddle and said hell nah and promptly tried to leave, so she’s definitely not broke. She is much more agreeable when not being approached by things that she might have to carry, would prefer a pasture full of smaller things that she could boss around and people that would bring her food offerings. She’s super sweet and would make the perfect mule pony companion. We’re sure she could be trained to ride and she was ridden at the auction but we’d suggest a professional teach her that trick. UTD on vet and farrier. 500 adoption fee

SCENES FROM MARYLAND QUARANTINE!

Thank you Nahvia & Beth for this lovely update of some of the Maryland quarantine horses.

NONE OF THESE HORSES ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTIONS, NOR ARE WE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS YET!

Everybody now: are they available for adoption or are we accepting applications?

NO!

So if you get a slightly sassy reply when asking in the comment sections from our followers, please note, we do try to make it very clear.

DID YOU KNOW?

Maryland QT was designed by veterinarians at Cornell to be the GOLD STANDARD in quarantine. Joe went to them with his plans and they helped make edits and updates to truly be the greatest quarantine farm in the county.

Joe and Beth have a massive waiting list of other rescues for quarantine. Daily they have to turn people away due to the demand - it is MUCH needed service in this industry as it requires a lot of land (Joe had 900 acres when we started at his fingertips that he personally farmed before this and now I think it’s closer to 1200) and experience.

Joe and Beth are by far the most respected titans in this quarantine industry due to their immense love for horses, beautiful state of the art facility, and wealth of knowledge.

CCR is so lucky to be there and we know it!

I love the different sized paddocks based on the emotional and physical well being of the horse. Sometimes a larger paddock helps a more anxious and nervous horse decompress. Sometimes a smaller paddock helps them become more familiar with humans and less wild.

Don’t you see your favorite in here? No worries! This isn’t every single horse in Maryland by a long shot. We will continue to post more scenes from QT each week! They also could be at PA /NOVA quarantine, at a training farm, adopted, or you missed an update announcement on them.

Please don’t comment “where is…” because we get 1000s of comments (due to reels that new people are seeing every minute) and may miss it as Facebook also sometimes hides some comments from us. Instead PM us so we are sure to see it and respond with an update.

We genuinely don’t want to miss anyone. And if you see anyone commenting that, feel free to inform them to PM us!

* Due to the nature of the beast, our quarantine does not accept volunteers (kind of like how you can’t traipse through a COVID ward) but our Charlottesville location does. Email [email protected] for more information about volunteering.

*sorry for the silence, I’ve been away at a horse show with HORRIBLE service and finally got WiFi. We’ve got some catching up to do!

Eddie Spaghetti 🍝
Eddie is a 19 hand 3 year old (no you didn’t read that incorrectly) Belgian draft gelding. His adoption fee will not be cheap due to the high risk of him being resold into a workhorse life as a lead horse. We are fully prepared to hang onto him until he finds the right forever home. He will be BIG and he knows he’s big, so he will need a draft experienced handler and not someone who just wants a big horse (hence the higher fee). He is being worked with daily on leading, picking up his feet, and tying and catching. He is a little shy but is actually a big playful sweetheart. He will likely reach 19+ hands. We adore him and really enjoy having this big hunk of love around. He’s been spared a lifetime of overwork and cruel treatment and it’s such a gift to be around him. UTD on vet and farrier. UPDATE: He is returning from the trainer soon and is officially broke to ride! He is suitable for an intermediate rider or better due to his size. Adoption fee 4500.

Arata 👺
Arata is a weanling 12.1 hand spirited Friesian X filly. She’s got a lot of thoughts and feelings about life. She’s a cute mover and has the most adorable fuzzy fetlocks from her Friesian heritage. She’s supposed to be crossed with Morgan and certainly looks it. Will be a fancy filly for anything you dream! UTD on vet and farrier. 500 adoption fee

Ruth 🍭
Ruth is a 14 hand yearling Belgian filly. There’s nothing to complain about this sweet girl. She leads, loads, ties and picks up all four feet. She’s gentle and easy going. She’s a little bit lighter b***d so she may be crossed with a lighter type of horse. Just a really nice girl who would be a quiet partner for a variety of disciplines. UTD on vet and farrier. 800 adoption fee

Calvin 🐻
Calvin is a 2 year old 14.1hh qh type guy. He is sporty and a stock built type that would make an excellent barrel/roping horse with size/build.

NOT a first baby to bring along for someone but will be great for someone experienced. He’s going to be cute and very athletic. UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 800

Kruiser 🚘
Kruiser is a weanling 12.2hh DRAFT CROSS gelding that is most likely a Dutch/Perch cross. We think maybe with draft. He is friendly but does need to work on manners/personal space. He loves to give and get attention. He’s super cute with all that chrome! UTD on vet and farrier. 600 adoption fee

Maybel 🔔
Maybel is a 12.2 hand coming two year old QH cross filly. She was rounded up off a Native American reservation last June. She is smart, gritty and enjoys attention. She has nice conformation and looks like she’ll be good at many things. She’s received 90 days professional training and leads, ties, and grooms nicely. Stands for farrier. She will be a nice project for someone. Adoption fee 300

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Warner 👹
Warner is a 7yo 37” mini donkey guy that has currently very little interest in making friends with us and is tough to lead / catch. But we’re determined to win him over and you should be too! He’s cute when he’s not being a naughty boy. Warner needs someone with a lot of time and patience or a friendly donkey friend to show him things are okay. UTD on vet and farrier. 400 adoption fee

Argentina 🇦🇷
Argentina is a 7 year 11hh gal with a calming presence. She is so sweet and slow to move and easy to be with! She loves an ear rubs and she’s got the cutest curly ears. She is ahem, rather lazy and prefers not to move. So she’s a bit of a slow mover to lead sometimes. She would be kid friendly except that she wont be dragged all over the place. Great donkey if your kid needs an anchor. UTD on vet and farrier. 650 adoption fee

Soulshine 🌞
Soulshine is a 6 year old 12.1hh chonky donk, she can be finicky to catch and is working on her ground manners. Not mean and likes attention. She will be someone’s best friend with a little work and time. She has fabulous hairy ears. UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 600

Windy D 🌬️
Windy D is a cute, 7 year old donkey with ears longer than all the rest of her. She is 11.1 hands and a standard donkey. She wasn’t handled much before us so she’s still learning to like attention. She leads (like a donkey) but with some love and one on one attention I bet she would blossom right up. Sweet donkey. UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 500

Klinx ♟️
Klinx is a 2 year old 34” mini gelding. Cute little dun color! He’s a baby so he hasn’t been messed with much and has a lot of energy so we’d recommend him for a more experienced home but he’s sweet and likes attention. UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 400

Montana ⛰️ KID SAFE!
Montana is a 21 year old 36” mini appy mare. She is SO super sweet and quiet, definitely kid safe! Easy to catch, lead, handle, just a really good girl in all the ways. She will get snapped up quick! We have no idea if she rides because no one small enough to ride her but she seems like she’s been around the block. UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 500

Amboy 🐛
Amboy is a weanling 31” mini pony gelding. He is so sweet but shy. He will be an excellent partner for someone as he enjoys attention, grooming and brushing. One of my favorite minis to come through so far. He is UTD with vet and farrier. 500 adoption fee

Mowgli 🐆
Mowgli is a 33” yearling gelding. He is a little nervous and shy of the world but he’s not mean! He calms down while he’s being brushed and loved on. It’s a lot to go through a livestock auction as a baby and he’s been handled a little rough so he needs a calm patient person to bond with. Just an absolute sweetheart. He has been upgraded to “green” which means anyone can handle since arriving. He’s making progress every day! UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 400

Cheyenne 🌴
Cheyenne is a 38” 20+ year old mini mule. Cheyenne is so sweet and defies the crazy mini mule stereotype. She stands quietly tied and enjoys attention. She is kid safe on the ground, but we don’t have any small enough to ride her so no idea if she does that. She’s just a sweet little mule seeking her forever home. Sadly returned by previous adopter due to adopters illness. UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 500

Rooney 🏎️
Rooney is a 20 year old 36” miniature gelding. His former owners taught him a rearing command that he does whenever minorly inconvenienced. Not for children unless you don’t particularly like them much and have a decent life insurance policy on them. He is difficult to catch and hates to be touched. He needs a special person who will see through his scared and at times tough exterior and love him anyway! UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 200

Bingo ♟️
Bingo is a yearling 29” miniature gelding. He can be jumpy/unsure due to his age but is naturally friendly. He loves treats and brushing. He is TINY! And very cute. This guy will get snapped up quick! UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 500

Fredrickson 🌈
Fredrickson is a 20 year 35” miniature appy gelding. He comes up to you/wants to be with you but fearful of touch. Like this poor little fellow is terrified. Someone was rough to him at some point in his life and he needs time to trust. He’s sweet once he realizes you mean no harm. Perfect boy to bond with! UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 350

Le Grande Rouge 💄
Le Grande Rouge is a 16.2hh 20 year old Belgian draft mare. She is a good grandma/husband safe trail horse type. She will walk / trot but prefers to walk, fairly unflappable! She is very quiet on ground. Our vet confirmed blind in right eye but two vets don’t think it’s painful nor needs to be removed. Super nice trail draft everyone is looking for that isn’t too big. Like all drafts, she will need a draft specific farrier that is experienced with them. UTD on vet and farrier. 900 adoption fee

Miss Molly 🦀
Molly is a 18-20 year old draft mule standing around 17.2 hands. She is SO sweet and big enough to carry the husband. She will be a great nose to trail tail horse to take out.

Ruby 🥀
Ruby is a 14.1 hand said to be registered 8 year old Morgan mare. Holy wow she is nice. Just came back from 30 days at a professional trainer and is w/t/c under saddle.

She listens, and is smart and surefooted girl— she is a great trail partner or could be a sport horse with time/patience.

Tazmania 😇
Tazmania is a 15h 15 year old not tattooed or chipped thoroughbred? Warmblood? Appendix? mare. Our girl has been a broodmare her whole life so she was brand spanking new to riding. She came to us pregnant and unfortunately lost her baby during the birthing process. We were able to save her and she’s been wonderful to handle on the ground. Undersaddle she has NO IDEA what she’s doing and while she’s not mean or spooky, she’s just very green. Pretty mover and sound and will be a nice sport horse prospect! We plan to ride, train and hopefully compete her until adoption. Adoption fee 800

Winston 🐛
Winston is a 15.3hh 12 year old standie cross gelding. He is according to the trainer a “gaited good boy”, green to being ridden but not spooky, has a little bit of a motor but listens well, will be perfect to be a beginner safe trail horse with a little more mileage! We’re really enjoying this nice boy and he will get snatched up FAST! UTD on vet and farrier. 1200 adoption fee

Pizza Girl 🍕
Pizza Girl is a 14hh lady that needs a home with some appreciation for the long ears! She is very shy to approach and a little tricky to catch.

THE HORSES HAVE ARRIVED TO QUARANTINE.

They are looking around in disbelief. Listening to the birds sing… the green grass… the blue sky… it’s heaven. The horses that arrived last month galloping to greet them, the way they leap to freedom and race to green grass or step back in awe and drink it all in…

Just mere hours before when these clips were filmed they were crammed in a kill pen waiting to die. Now they are in an environment that screams life and vitality.

Hope of a new day 💕

Thanks to you we saved every horse in the pen today.

Thanks to you NONE of these horses are shipping to slaughter.

Thanks to you CCR remains the greatest rescue.

Thanks to you the horses have hope.

Thanks to you we are building a better tomorrow for horses today.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

We are CCR.

We are the voice of the horses.

We are doing something completely and utterly unprecedented.

And I’m so proud of all of us.

We love you. Thank you.

More updates to come.

Just… thank you.

The girls are coming…

And the horses know.

THE EMPTY PEN!

Before we show the unloading videos, I think it’s so important to show the literal hell they came from and what it really looks like.

This is a brief walk around a slaughter holding facility. Not many people are able to capture what it really looks like, and we’re grateful we are allowed to share this footage.

I ask you keep that in mind before you disparage the owners. This a far deeper rooted problem than just them.

The horses are packed (sometimes 100+) into this small barn and the overcrowding creates fighting for resources — water, hay and just a simple place to lay down and nap.

No horse wants to lie down in manure and urine, and this floor reeks of it. You can hear me realize I have cloth shoes on and yes by the end of this walk around my socks were soaked in black water. It’s disgusting.

It is not usually this unclean but the reality is that people are dumping horses at a more alarming rate than ever before.

The fact that we subject any animal to this is abhorrent but all around the country horses are held inside locations like for a few days to a weeks before being shipped off to slaughter.

And this facility actually does provide water and hay. Cody told me simply that others don’t quite care so much.

We know this will make people angry at the facility owners but they are not the true or only villains here. It is not so black and white as that. They are simply cleaning up the mess made by our throwaway society, and allowed to operate as is because our laws are so slack for livestock.

Unwanted horses are being dumped by the thousands right now. Every auction and holding facility are over crowded and full. We need to really start thinking about investing in low cost euthanasia and gelding clinics and holding over breeding or unprofessional breeding accountable, otherwise the slaughter pipeline in America is never going to stop churning out horse meat for foreign countries.

It’s why we keep coming back when this place becomes overcrowded and full. The horses deserve a chance to leave this place, even if it’s just a compassionate release by a licensed veterinarian because no other viable options remain.

It is easy to criticize and say why don’t you call the authorities? And if we did, then what? A light slap on the wrist (maybe- since there is food, water and shelter)?

And then what?

Then every rescue and outsider banned from here. The horses with no chance at any way out ever again. Shipped week after week with no ending in sight and no one to come in and provide relief?

No thanks.

We know the extent of the true battle. Laws and legislation need to change for sure, but that will never happen without footage and awareness it creates like this. You can’t change what you don’t know is happening!

Every horse— no I even go as far as to say every animal deserves kindness, respect and compassion.

Our first responder work has saved countless horses from inside here, with nearly 1000 being adopted out to forever homes already.

We’re working hard to try and save as many as we can.

We’re pretty proud of what we do and how we change horses lives, but we couldn’t do it without YOUR help.

Thank you for your continued support as we fight for, raise awareness for, and save horses from the slaughter pipeline.

This isn’t possible without our supporters, donors and cheerleaders.

Keep this video in mind as we show the horses unloading and photos of them inside their new quarantine locations.

You will realize quickly why we keep coming back and why we hope you do too.

The girls are coming.

And the horses know.
