(Can’t adopt? Share share share!)

Corn Maze 🌽
Corn Maze is a 18.1hh 4yo Brabant gelding. 18+ hands of draft is a GIANT horse. Yes the wait is over, Corn Maze is finally here! We know he’s pretty, but please read his ad in its ENTIRETY before applying!! Corn Maze is a massive semi truck of a horse and he knows it, he’s spent a lot of time at the trainers learning manners and respect for the tiny fleas - I mean humans - that handle him. He is generally very respectful to handle, picks up all 4 feet nicely for a big guy, and is quiet in the crossties ties but he needs an adopter that understands they must continue to enforce these manners. He’s not a cute puppy, he’s a 2500lb horse. He can be pushy at the mounting block but is generally behaved to ride, not spooky just big. He walk, trots and canters. He’d make a great trail, pleasure rider or hill topping partner for an adopter who’s confident they could continue to enforce structure and manners. UTD on vet and farrier. 5000 adoption fee SLASHED to $4500 until 1/10! SAVE $500!

Arkansas 🏔️
Arkansas 16.2hh 20yo Standardbred gelding. Arkansas is a gorgeous blood bay who’s a standardbred in a draft horse body. Ever hoped for a gaited drafty? Well here’s your chance! He has a very smooth pace, very solid guy under saddle with a good bit of trail miles under his belt. He is sometimes a bit of a bully on the ground but working on his manners, stands quietly in crossties and good with his feet. He can be tough to load on a non stock trailer. Super nice SMOOTH gaited horse. UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 950 SLASHED to $750! Save $200 until 1/10!

Sassafras 🍭
Sassafras 12.3hh 20+yo gelding This guy is OLD (like probably present at the first nativity old) but he was blessed by Jesus and age is just a number! This older gentleman has the manners and temperament that come with years of experience, and he does ride (we are all too big to do more than hop on for a ba****ck stroll which he was very much a solid citizen for). He seems to be the perfect first pony to teach a deserving kid or two the ropes of riding and horsemanship! Calm, gentle and one foot in the grave— we get this order all the time and here he is. UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 650 SLASHED to $500! Save $150 until 1/10!

Mackenzie 😇
Mackenzie is a 15.1hh 12yo Morgan x mare. Mackenzie is sugar with a bit of spice. Sweet on the ground, somewhat shy to catch but easily won over with food. A solid walk/trot/canter under saddle though has her opinions and likes to share them. Never dangerous, but the occasional head toss or squeal is not out of the ordinary. She loves a good time and would be perfect for someone looking for a horse with a lot of personality! UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 950 SLASHED to $750! Save $200 until 1/10!

Max 😍
Max 14.2 hand 2 year old paint gelding. Look at all the color on this guy, and to top it all off he’s got a blue eye. Max has a more reserved personality that we’re sure will blossom with the right person. He is respectful of your space and leads and handles well, he just needs someone to educate him more! UTD on vet and farrier. He was returned for being too small. 1500 adoption fee SLASHED down from 2000 until 1/10! Save $500!

Lemi 🎨
Lemi is a 14.3hh warmblood x coming two year old gelding. He is a super flashy, athletic prospect for most any discipline! He’s sweet and curious though a bit unsure of the ways of the world. Picks up his feet (though wiggly) and is working on his patience when tied. UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 1200 slashed down from $1500 until 1/10!

Brink 🧱
Brink is a 12.2hh welsh x yearling gelding (just gelded)! Should mature to a top of the line large or medium! Brink is the perfect little pony project. He acts his age sometimes and can lack respect for personal space and patience. Put together nicely with a splash of chrome to top it off! UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 600 slashed down to $150 and extended until 1/10! Best deal in the group!!!

Daisy 🌼
Daisy is an 11hh 7yo standard jenny who was pregnant in the pen and walked right up to Olivia to ask for her help. Daisy is such a doll, she is a reserved soul who badly wants love and affection. Can lead like a donkey and cautious about her feet being handled, but a very good girl overall. This one would blossom with treats and attention. Just weaned her baby and ready for her forever home. UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 500 slashed down from 650 until 1/10!

Ivory 🤍
Ivy is a 35” yearling freshly gelded boy mule. We like to joke that mules detest domestication and Ivory is no different. He’s currently very offended about loosing his manhood it is unsurprisingly opposed to being handled. Super cute little guy, a smart and fun pet for someone with patience. He’s a mini mule and acts like one but with daily handling we can see him blooming. UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 500 SLASHED down to $400. Save $100!

Parker 🥰
Parker is a 36” 20+yo mini gelding. Parker is somewhat shy when first approached but a true enthusiast of all things food so his loyalties are easy to sway. Picks up all 4 feet and a good boy to handle. UTD on vet and farrier. Available for a $350 adoption fee slashed down to $250 until 1/10. Save $100!

Kosch 🍺
Kosch is a 44 inch 7 year old mini gelding. He is very handsome with his blue eyes though we think he may have visual impairments. We won’t say that he is kid safe currently as doesn’t quite trust people but with some love and time we think he will come around. Kosch is a young guy with a lot of life ahead of him! UTD on vet and farrier. Adoption fee 400 slashed down to $150! Best deal of our minis!!

SCENES FROM MARYLAND QUARANTINE!

Thank you Nahvia 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.

Not available yet. Not discussing it yet either.

Thanks for your patience.

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.



Here is our quarantine FAQs, feel free to share with a friend!

COLBYS CREW MUST HAVE 100s OF HORSES NOW, WHERE DO THEY ALL GO? 🧐

We can answer that! We DO have hundreds of horse within the rescue RIGHT now— just under 800 at the moment! Which if you do the math, is right at a majority six month hold/wait on our ponies prior to adoption + sanctuary creatures 😉

So… Where do all these horses go?

All of the horses that we save go to 4 separate quarantine farms, totaling 2000+ acres.

They are split into smaller groups and will stay in smaller groups of 8-15 (depending on paddock size) as they travel through our process.

That process looks a little something like this…
*RESCUE (from auction, kill pen or private surrender)
*Quarantine (60-90 days or longer)
*Vet intake exam (Adoption, Sanctuary or Peaceful Passing is decided by a licensed veterinarian)
*Second vet exam if needed (to confirm diagnosis)
*Possible treatment for any issues
*Strangles and contagious disease testing (2x negative testing, treatment if positive— many are positive so repeat testing necessary)
*Travel to a secondary quarantine facility to ensure shipping does not cause any flare of illness.
*Final strangles test.
*Training for adoption (minimal 30 days with one of our 12 trainers) or sanctuary begins.
*Adoption!!! Yay!

This process is fluid and can change as a horse may need to go to an emergency hospital, require more in depth training for behavior issues etc. It’s very organic on a per horse basis.

Please help us to continue our mission of supporting our equine community. Every dollar counts and will make a difference in the lives of those we serve.

Did you know?

There are six veterinarians out at all our major quarantines and our home base in Charlottesville every single day. They are strangles testing, intaking, or caring for ongoing injuries or illnesses.

Did you know?

CCR intakes every single horse we rescue INTO the rescue. We never ever place horses with other organizations immediately post rescue. Instead we quarantine and evaluate via our vet FULLY before any adoption or transfer can even be discussed. This means strangles testing must be completed, the horse must receive all vaccinations, current coggins, microchip (that stays linked to the rescue forever), dental work and a training evaluation if a riding horse before they can be adopted. All horses go with a signed contract, reference checks, photos of where they will be living and we require a monthly photo update. They can come back to the rescue at any point no questions asked! We track our horses for life!

Did you know?

There are several members of staff caring for these horses at every single farm. Nearly 1000+ people are either working for or with the organization to care for the horses in our care. That’s a LOT of hands on attention. We keep 1/1 on attention for every horse every day. Joe just went through a major hiring spree and so did Marlin. Please congratulate Marlin on acquiring a second and third farm for QT!

Did you know?

Every single horse is checked DAILY by a member of staff. Eyes, ears, heart, nose, temperature, soundness, hooves, etc. They receive a grooming and a wellness check every! Single! Day! This even includes fly spray and hoof picking or thrush treatment. A farrier (we have 15 farriers now) is out 4x per week trimming hooves at each location to ensure each horse is done every 6 weeks and a vet sees every resident weekly or more depending on the case.

Did you know?

CCR requires two veterinarians to sign off on any non emergent euthanasia. Non emergent euthanasia is defined as a horse who is well managed but may not stay that way on analgesics and currently free from continuous excruciating pain and is not considered a danger to themselves or others. This can be old badly healed injuries, severe navicular or ringbone, EPM in 25+ year old seniors that has progressed to the point of no return, severe DSLD and so on. If we can give them a week to several months of pain-free respite we absolutely will and it’s the VETS making that call, not CCR.

Did you know?

CCR has multiple trainers working with our horses both on property and off. After the horses complete our extensive and state of the art quarantine process, they are now traveling to their selected trainers and those trainers once ready are listing horses for adoption and completing the process (with our help) at CCR directly or within their own businesses as they are getting to know these horses and are invested in them and where they go. CCR handles all of the follow up, but a few of CCR horses are being marketed by their trainers. We try to post every horse to the website but this page and our website is now not the only source to snag a CCR horse. We think this is a wonderful thing as more help allows us to continue to grow and help more horses. We currently have 30+ horses out with professional trainers and 30+ at our home farm with consistent adoptions now averaging 2+ a day.

Did you know?

We adopt out around as many as we take in! That’s 70-100 horses a month getting forever homes with LIFETIME contracts requiring photo check ins. Don’t believe us? Ask an adopter— we follow up!

Did you know?

CCR has 300+ acres (and looking to add another 170) of sanctuary farms. This is what is allowing us to care for non adoptable horses without immediate euthanasia. These horses receive daily care and daily checks. They see the farrier every six weeks, and the vets as needed. Although this is a revolving door as many of these horses are in hospice treatment and may only have a few weeks or months left to live— we have about 50 horses in sanctuary at one time. We are happy to allow you to speak to many of our sanctuary caretakers. Sanctuary doesn’t just mean old and hospice, we also have many young babies like Taylor Swift, Apollo, Hummus, many mini moms and babies, etc turned out and growing up naturally and healthily with their mothers. We believe in natural weaning and will not adopt either out until a foal is safely weaned. This is better for their health, growth and development.
WE FIRMLY BELIEVE CCR IS REVOLUTIONIZING RESCUE AND SHOWING IT CAN BE DONE ON A LARGE SCALE BETTER OR EQUAL TO A SMALL ONE

How does CCR have enough room?

We have not yet had to euthanize a horse due to space. Our quarantine providers and sanctuary providers acreage totals up to 2000+. We could realistically support 1800 horses in the rescue at one time (although we do not come anywhere near even half of that!). We are very fortunate to live in areas where land is very rural and plentiful. We are also very fortunate to have a fundraising platform that covers several months of the horses cost UPFRONT, therefore buying them time in our rescue to enjoy an honorable retirement and dignified ending. Did you know that our business plan allows us to keep running at current capacity for SIX months without needing additional funding? Ally has a degree in business management and it shows!

Does CCR euthanize a lot of the horses?

Its important to remember that we save from the REAL slaughter holding facility. Every horse that comes into our rescue was sentenced to certain death previously. They are the horses at auction that no private party or equine rescue bid on, and that they most likely have severe injuries or chronic pain / illnesses or syndromes. Their median age is 20+ and they are most likely coming out of the Amish after living a hard working life. We do not get a surplus of well trained and healthy 5-10 year olds as those horses do not sell for slaughter pricing even at auction. Our euthanasia rates will be higher than a smaller rescue who takes in less horses (e.g. they save 5 and put down 1, we save 50 and put down 10– the rates are equal but one SOUNDS like more if you don’t look at it that way) and they can pick and choose which ones to take on. We take them ALL which leads to us having a higher euthanasia numbers at no real fault of our own.

How does CCR fundraise?

Colby's Crew Rescue believes it's important to raise funds for horses before intake to ensure we have the resources needed to care for them throughout the process from rescue to adoption, including purchase, quarantine, veterinary care, farrier care, rehabilitation, training, feed, housing, etc. When we fundraise for multiple horses, we calculate what we believe will be the average cost per horse to shepherd each of them through that process and raise an average amount of general, unrestricted funds for the entire group. We know some horses will cost more because of greater veterinary, rehabilitation, and/or training needs, while some horses will cost less or may not survive to the exhaustion of their share of the funds raised. When funds are not exhausted, they are used to care for those horses needing extensive veterinary care, longer rehabilitation, and/or more training, and for the rescue's operational expenses like equipment, facilities, vehicles, etc.

Who can I talk to if I want more information?
*Ally or Olivia, the founders of Colby’s Crew. They will be able to sort your question to the best available party.
Some examples of those parties would be:
*Our medical director is Dr. Carly Mayer, a licensed veterinarian. She sits on our board of directors and she also helped develop our euthanasia guidelines and consults on most cases. She is now licensed in Maryland and in Pennsylvania so that she can better oversee rescue operations and be available to assist our 12 other vet clinics we use in a leadership role. She is always available to answer questions about the medical side of our rescue.
*Our head of QT Veterinarians are Dr. Mary Davis and Dr. Noel Henderson. She does MOST of the intakes of our kill pen pulls, and will now be on call while we are inside the pen going forward to assist in horses needing immediate triage, humane euthanasia and veterinary care AT the pen. This is a huge step forward as previously horses were having to be hauled offsite to New Bolton Center or Maryland for care. No longer will this be necessary! Dr. Noel is also an incredible wealth of information and does most of our strangles testing. They are both licensed in VA, PA, and MD! They would be happy to answer questions about the medical side of our quarantine.
*Our quarantine providers: Joe Topper, Beth Walker, and Marlin Zimmerman. They see every single horse that comes into Colby’s Crew and would be happy to speak to our processes and how and why we do what we do.

DAILY PHOTOS ON THE JOB FROM THE CCR TEAM!

The girls are reading your comments and adding photos they think you’ll like!

With bonus Bison here finally included 😉

Just pictures taken around the farm. See if you spy some favorites in here like Colby, Big John, Sterling…

The girls at Colby’s Crew all got together and talked about how to share more of their day to day on social media.

“If people could see what we do every single day,” said Maria, “they would have their minds blown.”

“We take care of these horses like a top level elite resort with every service known to man.” Joanna agreed.

“Except the services aren’t a la cart and the guests are not paying thousands of dollars— it’s just the expectation of Ally to take care of them to this degree.” Katie said.

“The Ritz Carleton for horse rescue,” I giggled and the girls joined in.

We believe in taking care of these horses like we’d want our personal horses to be cared for— they are not “junk” who deserve less because they are rescues.

Our staff make this their passion and they live, breathe and sleep these horses. It is our job as stewards of their care to give them the best care possible and it’s why you can trust that your donated funds to CCR are ensuring the best care possible to every single horse who comes into our crew.

You can take that to the bank.

Don’t believe me? Check out these photos the girls diligently snapped all day long to provide it.

Thank you Lyndsay, Maria, Katie, Ella and Joanna for these pictures and the care you provide these animals. You truly exemplify what top quality care for horses look like and bring the rescues to the Ritz.

Ally and I appreciate your diligence and belief in what we do. Thank you.

Let’s hear it for rescue done right, because that’s the only way we will do it.

01/03/2026

“HE IS SO WORRIED ABOUT OLIVIA… SHE RUNS HERSELF RAGGED FOR THE RESCUE AND SHE WANTS NOTHING BUT THE HORSES HAPPY AND SAFE AND ALLY HAPPY…”

The animal communicator was staring at me, talking about Big John and his worries.

“Colby worries all the time about Ally. Where is she? Is she safe? Is she happy? Does she need him to protect her? But Big John…” she paused.

“Big John thinks about Olivia. She’s like a work horse. Silently working in the background— working for funding and hoping no one notices she’s writing the posts. Terrified of attention, but wanting people to SEE Ally. Wanting to make sure Ally is comfortable and safe. She wears the harness like a Belgian — no complaints, just looking to the driver, hoping they’re pleased with every inch plowed by her.”

I started sobbing. How could you not? Johnny saw me. He saw how hard I worked, that I just wanted CCR and Ally successful.

He SAW me.

All my doubts and cynicism fled.

I don’t believe in animal communicators… I really don’t. It’s okay if you think this is BS, because I would.

So why did I believe this now?

I was raw and vulnerable.

Staring at Johnny — a feeling came over me.

He knew I wanted nothing selfishly. I wanted my wife’s happiness.

I wanted CCR to win.

I wanted the horses safe.

But for me? Nothing. I never wanted anything, really.

Except maybe my own horse — Starboy. He’s the only thing I’ve wanted besides Ally in my entire life. My trainer bred him, raised him and recently gave him to me because we are soul mates. He’s at home now and truly healing all my traumas and anxiety.

I want for nothing now. Truly!

But Johnny?

He sees me.

Imperfect me.

He realizes I’m more than a twenty million a year fundraiser. That’s cool but it isn’t remotely my greatest talent. I am more than the jealous things written online…

I’m a person. I am work horse.

I am a Belgian.

“Johnny asks that Olivia have a day of rest from now on because she has none. He asks that people acknowledge her online and he requests to personally take her on a walking trail ride. He wants to carry her wherever she wants to go safely. He said it would be an honor.”

I started sobbing. Was it true?

I didn’t know…. But the idea? It wrecked me.

How could I EVER be good enough to ride Big John, the king of horses?

I told the animal communicator to thank him profusely but I didn’t feel worthy.

She paused and said, “he says…”

I held my breath.

“There is no rider ever fit to sit in his saddle but you. You symbolize the work horse. You work not for money, not for accolades or gratitude — but to genuinely help those around you. You work for those you love. You are a Belgian. He says for his friend Colby there is only one rider… Ally.

But for John? There is only one parter in the yoke.

It’s you, Olivia. Johnny chooses you.”

I cried so long I didn’t think I had tears left…

I thought I’d refuse…

I’m just an average girl.

I don’t deserve to be Johnny’s chosen one…

It should be Ally!

But I know there’s a reason Johnny picked me.

And so tomorrow I will mount the biggest horse alive and let him take me where he desires.

I will give him the reins and say nothing.

I will let him speak to me.

I don’t know what he will say.

But he chose me.

And I will pull the yoke as hard as he will.

I’m so honored, Johnny.

My life is forever changed by you.

I cannot wait to hear your wisdom.

Tomorrow I will listen and I hope I can report back to a million plus people everything I learned.

Adoption fee 600 reduced to $150 until 1/7/2026
