INTERESTED IN ANYONE WHO CAN IDENTIFY THIS CAR AND THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS

This is an emergency situation. They were in PA near Chambersburg but could honestly be an out of state plate.

We have higher resolution photos and a video to anyone who can help us pull the plate to give to law enforcement. I believe we have a partial match the plate and may be able to crack it anyway, but can’t hurt if someone easily recognizes them.

Due to an open legal case we cannot be more specific but we can tell you that they are wanted individuals by us and we believe to have committed a potential crime.

Innocent animals lives may be at stake.

Please help us identify these ladies.

WHERE DO THEY GO?!

ADOPTION!!! These horses are all in their loving, forever homes.

DID YOU KNOW?

CCR adopts out 70-100 horses every. single. month.

Although our part of being a main character in their stories is over… we will always be in the background, cheering and supporting, there to catch any if they need a safety net.

Did you know?

Colby’s Crew will cover most major medical procedures for any graduate if the owner is unable to afford them. We have sent horses for rehabilitation, paid for colic surgery, paid for eye removal, and assisted in numerous ways to our adopters. Our adopters know that they will NEVER walk alone so long as they have a CCR graduate.

Colby’s Crew has an iron clad adoption contract that requires updates and protects these horses for the rest of their lives.

Colby’s Crew will take a horse back for ANY reason. We will even come get them, no questions asked.

Colby’s Crew offers a $1000 euthanasia grant to ANY alumni so you NEVER have to choose between auction and a peaceful ending.

Here at CCR we are a full circle horse rescue protecting every horse that comes into our crew.

WE ARE LOCATED IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA!

Interested in adopting one? They will go FAST! Read more about them below ⬇️

Dove 🕊️
Dove is a 16.1 hand 18 year old draft cross mare. It’s impossible to not fall right in love with this thicc gorgeous girl. Dove will make a lovely trail or pleasure mount, she keeps a nice pace and seems to enjoy exploring around the farm. In the arena she does walk trot and canter. She likes to go! She was super on our hunter pace— leading unsure horses across the water and jumping all the logs! She is NOT for beginners and does have a buck however it is not murderous and simply needs a strong hand to sit up and say no. She’s clearly gotten away with bullying beginners in the past. She will take a little x rail too. Maybe in a trainer program she would suit a more inexperienced rider but she would need just that— a program. She does pick up all four feet but is still a draft and can be very heavy. UTD on vet and farrier Adoption fee 2000 reduced to 1500 until 11/7.

Zoey 🥰
Zoey is a 16 hand gorgeous black 15 year old Draft (Perch/DDH) cross mare. UPDATE— we took this girl on a hunter pace and she was the best girl. Crossed water, led and followed. Never spooked. She was spectacular! Zoey is a mellow lady, truly a more whoa than go type to ride though will trot went nagged and is learning to canter. Generally unbothered, she’d make a great trail horse or maybe a show horse with some convincing. Well mannered on the ground and up to date on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 1500 firm. If she wasn’t in a rescue she’d be $15,000. She’s the best.

Dan ☠️
Dan is a 15.2 hand 15 year old Morgan/Arabian? cross gelding. Dan is a more nervous guy, he likes you to hold his hand a bit under saddle and he’s always ready to go. If you like to move out then Dan is your guy! He knows how to walk/trot under saddle and is learning how to canter. An endurance or maybe a jumper job would probably suit him well though with time and training he could settle and make a quieter trail horse. NOT for a beginner! Up to date on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 975 reduced to $775 until 11/7.

Domini 👾
Domini is a 13 hand 6-7 year old Haflinger gelding. A Barbie dream pony. This adorable guy is a great PROJECT pony for a committed little pony enthusiast! Domini has his ground manners down for the most part, catches/leads/ties/picks up all four feet well. Currently working on his ground work and learning about life under saddle, he lunges in tack currently and is starting to be ridden in the round pen though at the current moment is NOT BROKE and can be spicy/cold backed so not suited for a child to bring along unless they are very bouncy with a good sense of humor. With some wet saddle pads and an education he’ll be a show stopper! He’s ADORABLE! Up to date on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 1000 reduced to $975.

Folly 🃏
Folly is a 14 hand 15 year old Morgan large pony mare. Folly came to us in foal with our sweet little John. She has since been through a natural weaning and has been in riding boot camp! Folly is a super comfortable ride and is built like a couch as she is as wide as she is tall. On the trail she keeps a bit of pep in her step and likes to move out more. She does walk, trot and canter and has a super smooth and comfortable canter. Folly can be a bit mare-ish and does occasionally make her opinions known. We would recommend her for an experienced horse handler as she can be tricky to catch and is still working on being good picking up her hind feet. UTD on vet and farrier. 750 adoption fee reduced to $500 until 11/7

Harold 🎶
Harold is a 16.3 hand 3 year old registered Belgian draft gelding. This is a big boy with a big personality! Harold is a total love bug, very personable and adores people. He leads, ties, and picks up feet very well for a big guy, however can still be rather pushy as he doesn’t quite realize his size. Previous adopter reports that he needs electric fences (like most big boys) and that he needs a gelding only field that will stand up to him or he will push his field mate around. ETA— he has not done this since coming back with us and has respected a 4 regular board fence thus far, but we like to disclose all history. Up to date on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 1500 reduced to 1200 until 11/7.

Johnny Boy 🦕
Johnny boy is a 16.3 hand 2 year old Percheron gelding. He is big and he knows it. He is still growing and will be large! For a big boy he does pick up his feet but will need lots of repetition and someone willing to put in a lot of time. He needs a strong hand to lead as he can he pretty persistent to go back to his friends. This is a BIG boy. Giant. UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 2000 reduced to $800 until 11/7.

Pongo 🐬
Pongo is a 16 hand 1-2 year old Percheron/Frieisan gelding. This large guy is a PROJECT for a committed draft enthusiast who’s willing to spend the time working with him. He will be BIG! Pongo can be very flighty at times, he knows his size and doesn’t always respect personal space. He leads and ties, but does not yet understand how to pickup his feet. A sweet but nervous guy who needs time to come out of his shell ♥️ Up to date on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 2000 reduced to $500 until 11/7.

Rocket 🚀
Meet Rocket!! This guys name just fits him so perfectly. Rocket is an 10.3hh Welsh cross weanling gelding. This spicy but shy guy is looking for someone to put up with his attitude but hold his hand along the way. While he is realizing the world isn’t that scary he will pick up his front feet and try his hardest on his hinds. He is starting to tolerate being groomed and loved on but will try to run from the affection. He leads great and will settle as he gets to know you. With time and patience Rocket will be a gentleman! UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 150

Sky Chief 🌚
Sky Chief is a 40 inch 10 year old castrated donkey. Sky may not look back if you turn him lose— he is a wild man. While he will accept some human touch he would really prefer to not have much to do with people right now. He doesn’t pick up his feet at all. We are working on it. This a donkey project that can only go to an experienced trainer with references! UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 25

Adoption fee 2000 reduced to $1800 through 11/7.

Strawberry 🍓
Strawberry is a 14.1 hand 2 year old Quarter Horse mare. This gorgeous girl is worming her way into everyone’s hearts! She’s friendly loves a good grooming and b***y scratch, she leads, ties, and picks up feet like a good baby, though typical young horse she can be wiggly for these activities.

Keystone 🥌
Meet Keystone! Keystone is a 2024 15 hand REGISTERED quarter horse gelding! Yes, we have his papers. We do not release them but will give you a copy and will also assist in whatever possible for breed showing while still tracking and following him for life .This handsome man can be shy to catch but easily warms up to touch. Keystone is a fairly nonchalant guy but needs someone who will reinforce his ground manners. He does lead though is fairly quick to leave a given situation. He can pick up his feet but does so with some protest. Keystone has a lot of potential and athleticism, he just needs someone to bring him along! Up to date on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 2000 reduced to $1000 through 11/7.

Doc 🩺
Doc is a BLIND! 20 year old 16 hand BLIND standardbred. Did we mention he’s blind? This sweet boy is ready to be someone’s best friend and trail partner. He does go out alone or with company but he does prefer to have a buddy. He will do best with someone who is confident and willing to be patient when he is unsure. Experience with blind horses a must! He does walk and trot confidently in the arena and tries his best every ride. We do not believe his loss of sight is a new thing for him as he gets around with ease. He adjusts quickly and gets along with most horses. He’s a super sweet boy who loves affection and grooming. He is a sturdy trail horse who enjoys it. UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee $250

Lavia 😉

Very curious about the world, he handles well though is super wiggly and interested in pretty much everything. If he can touch it, sniff it, or just generally investigate he will! He does all the young horse things, leads, ties, and picks up feet. He is NOT broke currently, he’s a blank slate ready to start your way! Up to date on vet and farrier. Adoption fee reduced to $500 through 11/7.

Peppa 🐽
Peppa is a 41 inches 8 year old castrated donkey. This guy wants zero to do with us humans right now. He does kick and doesn’t want to have his feet picked up. We will work with him daily to gentle him but he is currently a PROJECT! TRAINERS only. We’d love to follow your journey gentling him. Apply only if you want a heck of a challenge. If you turn him out in a big area, you’ll never see him againnnnnnn. 🎶 UTD on vet and farrier by the grace of dorm and ketamine. Adoption fee $25… tbh we might pay you to take him but only if you swear to never bring him back. Kidding, kidding. Maybe. Dr. C might say so I guess.

THE HORSES HAVE ARRIVED TO QUARANTINE.

WHERE DO THE HORSES GO???

You see in on every single fundraiser post.

Now our followers will go back and share this video every time that question is asked because…

THEY ARE HERE!

Here!!! They’re here! Every single one 🙂

They are looking around in disbelief. Listening to the birds sing… the green grass… the blue sky… it’s heaven.

Other now safe horses 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 we saw there.

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

Thanks to you CCR remains the greatest rescue ever.

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.

SEND THEM ON THEIR WAY CCR, TO THE GOLDEN PATH OF LOVE & ADOPTION!!!!

The girls are coming, and the workers know.

CCR gives us all something good to believe in and to want to change for!

For the men like Cody and Jimmy who for 20+ years have had to watch these horses ship with no other possible option because it was the life they were born and raised into— this is a trumpet sounding of hope, faith and love.

A trumpet of change. You, CCR donors and its supporters, are showing another way.

Let’s keep changing the world, one horse and one human at a time, okay CCR?

THE PEN IS CLEAR!

I’ve written those words a lot here over the years.

I’m still proud every single time it happens like it was the first time.

You guys met every goal early and effortlessly.

You were surprised with an unexpected truck full of horses, and you truly said NOT ONE MORE.

I’m not trying to brag or put anyone down with this post. I know a smaller rescue will read this and feel jealousy but please!

Listen!

People who care to save animals are out there. You need only reach them.

Put positive content out there and it will reach positive people.

I’ve changed my tone in the last year.

I no longer explain myself, I just show who we are and I show kindness to those who come to join us.

And it’s changed everything.

It’s brought us YOU, dear reader.

And you’re truly a gift from the heavens or universe, whatever you may believe.

I’m truly in awe of our donors, their hearts to give and give to defenseless animals and become that line of defense truly makes me speechless and emotional.

I see the horses arrive at quarantine, get medical care, heal and go onto adopted homes and it’s all because someone cared.

It’s all because YOU cared.

Someone said I have enough to share, here’s some for the animals who need it too.

You guys are truly the best of humanity.

You’ve made a little community here where kindness actually matters and the good guys win.

Just look at this empty pen.

Just marvel at the unloading video when it comes out tonight or tomorrow and the fields full of saved horses.

WE DID THAT!

Thank you to every single donor large and small — you are and will always be — heroes.

SIX REMAIN…

In the entire pen.

Just six.

The girls are live right now trying to raise it.

No horse deserves to sleep in slaughter holding facility for the night.

The truck had a coolant leak and it’s bought us precious minutes while they fix it. If they don’t, the horses will leave in the AM…

If they don’t, the horses can leave ANY MINUTE! These horses do not belong to the pen so they can’t unfortunately get more time. We hoped to negotiate it until morning but their owner is unwilling to do so now.

Be our heroes and help us make it so not a single horse gets reloaded on this unexpected zoo truck.

We’ve risen to every occasion.

The girls get to head home after this.

Let’s make it so not a single horse shipped.

WE CAN DO THIS.
