ADAMADAM'S APPLE |

Adam came
to us in July 2008 as a starvation case from Prince George's
County. Due to a lameness originating in his right shoulder,
Adam is not able to be ridden but would be ideal as a
companion. He is still young and frisky, so he'd be best
suited with a more dominant horse that would keep him in his
place. It would be best for Adam to go to a home where a
stall is available in case he needs a break for his
shoulder. Adam ties for feed, is barefoot, good for the vet
and farrier, and requires an intermediate handler. This boy
is loaded with personality. Give him a chance and check him
out!![]() |
ASPENASPEN'S ALLURE |

20+ years15.2 handsTBMareBay$35

Aspen was
recently returned to us from her adoptive home of 6 years.
She is a sweet mare and is looking for her new home. Aspen
is good for the vet and farrier, barefoot, and suitable for
an advanced beginner to intermediate handler. Under saddle,
she has lots of get-up-and-go desite her age! We are still
in the process of evaluating her, but she would be best
suited for an strong intermediate rider.![]() |
ATHENA |

|
Athena is
a gorgeous and gentle giant looking for a home. This girl
loves to be pampered and will stand for you all day if
you'll love on her. She has tied for grooming, but we
typically feed her in a stall or paddock. Athena is good for
the vet and farrier and gets along with the other mares in
her herd, although she is dominant. Due to her size, and the
fact that she knows how big she is, Athena needs a
draft-proof fenceline. She has sidebone in both front legs,
so while she cannot be ridden she'd make an excellent
companion horse for someone looking for a absolutely
gorgeous pasture puff!![]() |
DHARMA |

Dharma
arrived to us in April 2009 from Baltimore County as a
neglect case. She is a sweet mare who loves to be
groomed and is good for an advanced beginner handler.
She is a timid mare who can be a bit ear shy, so she does
best when handled gently. Dharma is good for the vet
and farrier, and is currently barefoot. In the field,
she is very timid and would do best with other passive
horses. She has started training on the ground and she
lunges nicely and is very perceptive. She has accepted
a bridle, saddle and rider without any issues. She has
done walk and trot under saddle, but seems to be very unsure
of steering and going at a consistent speed.![]() |
DIVADIPPIN' DIVA |

25+ years14.3 handsSaddlebredMareLiver Chestnut$35

Diva came
to us in October 2009 along with 18 other horses from
Baltimore City. She is an older mare, looking for someone
who will give her a quiet and stable home where she can live
out the rest of her days. Due to her extreme sway back, she
cannot be ridden and is looking for a companion-only home.
Diva spent much of her life locked in a stall with limited
to no contact with other horses. Due to her living
situation, her social skills were not well-developed and she
is easily overwhelmed by other horses, so we would consider
adopting Diva out to a home with no other horses. We would
also consider a home with other horses, as long as the herd
is unchanging and the adopter is willing to give her the
time she needs to adjust to her new friends. This matriarch
deserves the peace and tranquility that she so desperately
desires. Can you find it in your heart to take this lovely
girl home?![]() |

Essence
came to us in September 2010 from another rescue in
Pennsylvania. She is a very nice mare who loves attention
and LOVES her best friend, Athena (with whom she'd love to
find a home!). Essence is barefoot and is good for the vet
and farrier. Due to behavioral issues under saddle, Essence
is only suitable as a companion horse. Check this sweetie
out today!![]() |
HOEDOWN & JUNEBUG |
|
JUNEBUG
HOEDOWN
|
Hoedown
came to us years ago as a starvation/founder case. He
was adopted to a home as a companion for Junebug. His
adopters took great care of him for many years until
unforseen circumstances forced them to return him, however
they needed to find a home for Junebug as well. Since
Hoedown and Junebug had formed a strong bond over the years
that they had been together, we decided we'd take Junebug as
well and try to find them another home together. Both
ponies have foundered, and cannot go to a home with grass.
They tie for feed, are good for the farrier, and get along
well with other barnyard critters. So if you're
looking to start your own petting zoo of miniature animals,
take a look at these two! JUNEBUG ![]() HOEDOWN ![]() |
MAURA |
|
20 years16 handsThoroughbredMareGray$35

Maura came
to us from Carroll County on St. Patrick's Day, hence her
Irish name. She ranked at a 1 out of 9 on the Henneke
Scale, had overgrown hooves, teeth in need of floating, and
a severe rainrot along her withers, topline, and rump.
Due to her weak condition, Maura was forced to live in a
sling for three weeks until she was strong enough to lay
down and get back up on her own. She is now fully
recovered and feeling 100% better. Maura ties for feed
and grooming and is good for baths, the vet, and farrier.
She requires an intermediate to advanced handler when taking
her out of her routine, as she can be someone herdbound.
Maura has been experiencing periodic lameness in the hind
end lately that our vet feels may be neurological, therefore
we will be adopting her out as a companion only. Give this gorgeous girl a home. She's been through a
lot and deserves the best.![]() |
NALA |
In Off-site Training ** STILL AVAILABLE FOR SOS! ** |
6 years15.3 handsThoroughbredMareChestnut$35

Nala arrived from Prince George's
County in the Spring 2010 as a starvation case, ranking at a
1 out of 9 on the Henneke Body Condition Chart. She
was covered in rain rot and her feet were overgrown and
infected with thrush. She made a smooth recovery and
is now ready to find her new home. Under saddle she is
super-quiet and goes well as the w/t/c. Nala requires
an intermediate handler and advanced beginner rider.
Nala is good for the vet, farrier and baths. We look
forward to seeing how this pretty girl turns out once she
gets a little more training under her belt. She has
loads of potential. Give this pretty girl a home!![]() |
VIENNA |

Vienna
arrived to us in June 2011 as a starvation case out of
Baltimore County. She made a very smooth and speedy
recovery and has turned into a very nice girl. Vienna
ties for feed and grooming, and is good for the vet and
farrier. Once she gets over being slightly herd-bound
she'll be suitable for an advanced beginner handler.
Under saddle, Vienna is well-trained but forward and would
be suitable for an intermediate rider. We have
evaluated her at the walk/trot/canter and over fences.
She is very eager to go and seems to genuinely enjoy being
ridden. She is sound and barefoot and has no health
issues. This mare seems to have many years left in her
and should be a great riding horse for someone looking to
have some fun with an older, been-there-done-that horse!![]() |

Walker
arrived to us from Carroll County Animal Control in November
2009. He has had a good foundation of groundwork and
he lunges well. He stands quiet to be pampered and is
an absolute gentleman. He has accepted a saddle,
bridle and a rider but we have been unable to continue with
his training due to a persistent lameness He would
make a nice pleasure mount, but won't be able to hold up to
extensive work. However Walker's sweet nature makes
him a great pasture pal to have around the farm!![]() |

Xpedition
came to our farm in May 2010 as a starvation case out of
Garrett County, along with 25 other horses. He made a fast
and smooth recovery and is now looking for his forever home.
Xpedition is blind in his right eye and can therefore be a
bit spooky at times. Once he gets to know you though, and
gains some confidence, he is a sweetheart and will try hard
to please you. Xpedition has been evaluated under saddle and
was found to be extremely nervous and spooky, so considering
his age and history we think he'd be best suited as a
companion only. He's been through a lot in his older years
and deserves a nice, relaxing retiredment!![]() |
YADIN |

Yadin
arrived from Garrett County in May 2010 as a neglect case
along with 25 other horses. Yadin suffered from a torn
Peroneus tertius tendon back in the Fall 2010 and has been
in training on the ground. She seems to love working,
and is good for ground work. Yadin is good for the vet
and farrier and gets along well with both mares and geldings
This girl's a cutie with lots of spunk!![]() |
YUKON |

Yukon
arrived to us from Carroll County Animal Control in November
2009. He was suffering from rainrot, burs in his coat,
mane, and tail, overgrown feet, and parasites. He
ranked as a 4 out of 9 on the Henneke Body Condition Scale.
Yukon has now made a full recovery and has turned into a
gorgeous boy. Due to navicular changes, Yukon is
unable to be ridden and would be best suited as a companion
horse. He is most comfortable when stalled for half
the day. Yukon is a sweet boy with loads of heart and
an overwhelming eagerness to please. He ties for feed
and grooming, is good for the vet and baths, and is good
with both mares and geldings.![]() |
ZODIACZODIAC ZAR |
|
7 years16.3 handsThoroughbredGeldingChestnut$35
|
Zodiac is
our biggest success story-to-date and is well-known and
loved by hundreds, if not thousands. For those who
don't know, Zodiac came to us in September 2010 after being
seized by Berkeley County (West Virginia) Animal County
along with 50+ horses. He was suffering from many
different life threatening conditions brought on by his
advanced emaciated, neglected state. Zodiac spent 9
weeks in our Anderson Sling before he could even walk on his
own. This boy overcame the odds and has blossomed into
the gorgeous, athletic horse that he is today. Zodiac
has a surgically fused right front fetlock, most likely due
to an injury he sustained during his racing career.
This injury only allows him to a pasture pal, but he can
still be seen romping and playing in the field with the
other horses. Zodiac ties for feed and grooming, is
good for the vet and farrier, and is tolerant of just about
anything you do with him. An advanced handler can
handle this gentle giant and we're sure it won't take long
for him to find a home. We'll shed bittersweet tears
of joy when he finally moves on to his new life.
Zodiac recently went to the VA Equine Extravaganza and was
showcased next to DEFHR's booth. He loved the
attention and was a complete gentleman. He loved
meeting new people and was truly a celebrity and he had
people running after him to meet him!![]() |
