HorseNet Horse Rescue is a certified 501 (c)(3) nonprofit horse rescue and rehabilitation facility with two locations in Maryland. We DO NOT sell horses, but facilitate the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of those animals in our care. We do have some permanent residents, but strive to adopt out as many animals as possible to loving informed homes. We are 100% volunteer run and operate solely on donations. We specialize in the care of seniors and blind horses, but will accept animals, when space allows, surrendered by private owners or through state animal control facilities in any condition from any location.

ADOPTION AREA: Maryland residents or those that reside within 4 hours our Mt Airy Farm. No exceptions made to this policy. To determine adoption eligiblity CLICK HERE then click on Directions, enter your address then click on Get Directions, this will give you the amount of time it takes to get to the rescue.

Horse Surrenders/Returns: We are not taking in any owner surrenders at this time. If you have a HorseNet horse that you need to return, please contact us.

Mini Walk for our Many Horses - What a Success!

This years walk was a lot of fun, there were many volunteers that where able to join us for this great afternoon. We were excited to see a lot of familiar faces and meet some new friends. Triumph and Pumpkin, the minis from our New Windsor farm, represented our rescued horses for the afternoon. They really loved the attention and the grass! Big thanks to Lori for volunteering to bring them.

After the walk around the park we had a relaxing afternoon with friends and lunch! The kids really enjoyed the moonbounce and snowcone machine! During the award ceremony prizes were given out to our top registered walkers. Linda W & Trudy H raised an amazing $1,748 and received the adult 1st place Golden Horse Shoe Award. They won a large gift basket full of gift cards to share, totaling over $200 to many different restaurants and spas. Alyssa, Sam & Sadie were able to raise $565 and received the adult 2nd place Golden Horse Shoe Award. She won a $50 gift card to SmartPak Canine and a $20 gift card to Weis. Let's not forget HorseNet's very special friends Ashlyn & Alanna who raised $320 and received the children's 1st place Golden Horse Shoe Award. She won a gift packet with the theme of "sun & fun"... it included a $25 American Express gift card, and a $15 Blockbuster gift card and a friendship bracelet making kit. Perfect for a girls night sleepover! Emily S raised $51.00 for the 2nd place Golden Horse Shoe Award. She won a $25 Old Navy gift card and $15 to iTunes.

It was truly a wonderful day! Together along with everyone's hard work we are proud to say that we raise over $3,000 to help us care for our rescued horses.

If you were not able to join us this year for this celebration, I hope you will plan on coming next year and walk with us to help our horses.

Pledge Campaign

SIGN UP FOR OUR PLEDGE FOR $10 CAMPAIGN
In 2008 we started our Pledge for $10 Campaign with 40 supporters and were able to cover the rent for just one of our properties. Unfortunately 2009 was not a good year for this campaign, as of today we have dropped down to 25 supporters. Our goal for this year is to increase that number quite a but, but we can not do it with out your help!! In fact I would like to see us hit 100 Supporters!

The original plan is to have 400 people donate $10 a month to cover our monthly rent expenses. Since real estate prices are so high, most horse rescues are not able to buy their own property so finding a farm to lease is a crucial part of caring for our rescued horses and the horses that need us. Since HorseNet cares for so many horses we rent multiple properties. Our "land lords" have been amazing with us the past couple years with their understanding of the economic state; however in 2010 the rescue NEEDS to be able to cover our monthly expenses. Our horses need your help! Together we will make a difference. Join us for this campaign! Together we will make a difference, together we can make 2010 great!!!

Here's two ways on how to help with this campaign:

1) Please sign up by clicking HERE; you will be directed to the Network for Good giving cart. Follow the directions to donate and make sure that under Donation Preferences you check for it to be a monthly donation.
