Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue is a 501 c3 Tax Deductible Non-Profit Rescue. We are located in Mount Airy, Maryland, nestled on 41 acres. We are committed to saving draft horses from slaughter, and adopting them into new homes as trail and schooling horses. We can accommodate up to 30 rescues at a time. All horses are shown by appointment only.







What Gentle Giants Does:

All of our horses are rescued from auctions where we are their last chance before being sold to slaughter. Our horses are chosen for their temperament, soundness, and usability. Once safely home, all horses are quarantined for a minimum of 21 days, during which we ride them extensively. All of our horses are thoroughly evaluated to aid in the best possible match for horse and rider. A successful partnership creates a bond of trust and friendship for both horse and rider, and it is our goal to find that match for every horse we save. Please check our "Available Horses" page to see if your perfect match is here!

Horses of all ages and abilities are available for adoption!

Our horses range in age and ability from young and competitive Sporthorses, to older quiet trailmounts! Some of our horses have special needs, but most just had an unfortunate run of bad luck and need a new chance at a loving home. Our efforts are supported solely by donations, adoption fees, and LOTS of volunteer sweat.

Our horses are fed only the freshest local grains milled by the Farmers Cooperative Association, Inc., located in Frederick Maryland.
