Thank you for your decision to adopt! For every horse adopted, another horse can be saved from an uncertain fate! You commitment is helping us help the horses!

Our horses can be viewed BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

We will schedule appointments on Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday. The farm is closed on Sunday.

Please contact us only if you are serious about horse ownership. If you would like to adopt a horse, we ask that you fill out an adoption application, complete with references from your vet and farrier.

Should you wish to have your horse examined by a vet prior to adopting him, we require a $100.00 deposit to hold the horse while you arrange for an exam at your expense. If you do not adopt the horse, we will refund your $100.00 deposit.

Owning a horse is a huge responsibility. We will do our best to make sure the transition for you and your horse is smooth. However, we are available to answer your questions, address concerns and ensure that your new horse is settling in comfortably. We will do our best to help you transition your horse to his new home.

Owning a horse requires commitment to his health and overall well-being. Feed, care, medical, farrier, and dental bills can add up quickly. Are you committed to the care of this horse? Also, have you made provisions for this horse if a medical or life emergency occurs?

We guarantee that our horses have been properly vetted, fed and supplemented. Their farrier and dental needs have been met and we will show you all records we have for the horse prior to adopting.

Our goal is to unite the rider with the best possible horse for the chosen discipline to create a life-long partnership.

Jimmy Neutron

Gender: Gelding

Age: 5

Height: 16'1" Breed: OTTB

Amazing Mover - this horse has made tremendous progress in a short time. The progress is purely a result of Jimmy's wonderful intelligence, attention span, willingness to trust his handlers, and his obvious love for his job.

Jimmy has mastered the basic hunter flat work. He is very balanced, bends well, can maintain perfectly straight lines, simple changes, flying changes, transitions well up and down. Jimmy is the perfect ride as he is light, responsive, forward enough without being quick and can do slow collected trots and canters with the best of them.

Jimmy has started cavalettis and small jumps. He seems to love them and time will tell, seems like he could be a great hunter and even Big Eq candidate. For the amount of time Jimmy has had in training he is simply AMAZING! Any children's hunter or adult/am/owner would love him! Eligible greens. . He doesn't seem to have an ounce of cheat in his body. This horse is certain to go far in the show world. Must be a special home !

Name: Encrypted

Gender: Gelding
Age: 5

Height: 16'1'

Breed: OTTB

Encrypted is a pleasure to ride. He has a very gentle and responsive mouth. He bends very easily and almost always maintains a straight line. He has a "lovely" feel about him, his trot and canter are very easy to sit to and he maintains a steady speed. He also lengthens and shortens stride easily as you ask him. Just a lovely horse and any rider would be lucky to have him. He does have a track injury that has healed completely. This guy is a pleasure to work with!

He is best at the trot and loves trotting cavelettis and has jumped a few small jumps. He is very straight forward and hard trying by nature. He is sticky to get his left lead, great on the right, and does flying changes. He is quiet and honest, brave and has a wonderful soft mouth. Encrypted seems to be the kind of horse who is easily adaptable to many situations.

He has never questioned anything his rider has asked and will make some rider very happy. ADOPTION PENDING

Name: Cooper Gender: Gelding

Age: 4
Height 15'3"

Breed: OTTB

When Cooper first started he was very keen to just stand still or walk very slowly around the ring. Since then the switch has been flipped and he is turning into a very nice ride. He needs some leg, not too much,not too little, and he is willing to go wherever he is guided at a trot or canter. He is very consistently picking up the correct lead. Cooper has started trail riding weekly and has proven himself by going out alone and in the company of others. He is very settled and enjoys looking around and seeing new things. In general Cooper is a very gentle guy. He has done western riding as well, and we feel that he would be suited for western pleasure. No spook, no speed. Warwick, MD Location

Name: Tinkerbell
Gender: Mare
Height: 15’3”
Age: 5
Breed: Tb
Injuries:None
Temperament: 4

This mare is a 5 year old show prospect. We think she will make a lovely jumper or dressage horse.

Tink approximately 15'3", delicate build. She is a lovely horse, ready to be your best friend.
She is has been ridden both English and western. Has done trails, and she is a willing student. Tink needs to be on supplements for her feet, which are very prone to cracks. She does best on Platinum Performance, but farrier upkeep is a must to keep this mare sound. Her temperament, willingness and quiet personality are just a few of the many reasons to take her home!

Sgt. Burns
Sgt. Burns aka Burns has a funny personality. He loves to see and grab everything that you are using. He likes to playing tug 'o war with the lead rope while being led in from the field. He has been started on Parelli natural horsemanship and is doing great. This horse is so intelligent and loves attention. Enjoys the company of small children. This horse would be best suited for a companion or light riding home. He has some arthritis in his back legs that make him unsuitable for every-day riding.

Adoption fee: $1.00, lifetime commitment, Warwick Farm

Paddy

Breed: Quater Horse

Size: 15'2"

Temperament: 4

UTD: Shots, worming, farrier

Paddy is a cute little QH gelding that is just an in-your-pocket kind of guy. We are working on his ground manners which are a bit "pushy". He has had about 90 days of ground training and he's greatly improved. He looks forward to his time spent with volunteers getting bathed, brushed and loved on. As a riding horse, he is a bit rusty but with time and patience, we think he will make someone an excellent little pleasure or trail horse. With the right person, this horse is certainly going to be a superstar!

Mr. Fitz

Breed: OTTB

Gender: Gelding

Age: 10

Temperament: 3

This very sweet horse is really looking for a light riding career. He is a sweet guy, has been there, done that, but arthrtis keeps him from being a horse ridden every day. Weekend trail rides, light ring work, and he'd be perfect. Easy to keep, friendly horse.
