S’Noel - Pending Adoption!
This sassy little Arabian filly was born on December 23, 2025. She is a super sweet, intelligent, curious little girl who was recently weaned from her mother. S’noel loves attention and bottom scratches. Our trainer has been working with her on being touched everywhere and picking her feet up. S’noel is an A+ student in her training sessions. S’Noel will need a home with experience raising and training young horses.
S’Noel’s adoption fee is $500
Fina
Fina is an appaloosa mare in her early 30’s who came to us from an owner who could no loner care for her. She spent the winter with us rehabbing, gaining wight and muscle and looks like a completely different horse! Our trainer decided to see what she knows and Fina is full of experience. Standing at about 14.1, she highly enjoys being groomed and a leisurely walk/trot around the round pen or stroll down the trails at the farm. Due to Fina’s age she will need a small stature rider who only wants to take it easy. Video’s per request after an application has been submitted.
Fina’s adoption fee is $750
Highball
Highball came to the rescue via a seizure as a breeding stallion. He has been castrated and is recovered well. Highball has a super sweet people oriented personality who is showing us he wants to learn. He is decent for the vet and farrier but does need further education on handling. To our knowledge Highball has not been trained to ride. Because Highball was a breeding stallion, he cannot live in a field with mares or share fence lines with mares or he remembers his past life very quickly. We are offering Highball for adoption as a training project.
Highball’s adoption fee is $1000
Companion/Non-Rideable Equines
Available at Castle Rock Farm
Coffee
Coffee is a 30 year old mustang mare who is hoping to find a nice quiet home. Coffee can sometimes be a little hard to catch but her food motivation works in your favor. Once caught, Coffee is good for the vet but needs a patient farrier. Coffee is a companion only.
Coffee’s adoption fee is $500
Rhapsodies Sign
Rhapsodies Sign is an OTTB born on 5-13-15. He is great for the vet and farrier, loads on the trailer like a champ, and does well for oral meds. He LOVES food and gets super excited when its meal time. He will sometimes do a hungry dance waiting for his breakfast or dinner. This good boy has mild ringbone and some kissing spine that makes him a non-riding companion only but he is pasture sound and ready to live out his days being the apple of someone’s eye.
Rhapsodies Sign’s adoption fee is $500
Finn
Finn is a 8 year old Dutch Harness Horse Cross who came to the rescue as an owner surrender. Finn fractured something in his hip when he was two and a half and is not rideable due to this past injury. He is pasture sound but will sometimes fall when he gets the zoomies. Finn has a goofy people loving personality who is good for the vet and working on manners with the farrier. Finn is always happy to “help” you with chores in his field and is the first to come say hi when the volunteers come to feed or check on the horses. Finn is available as a non-riding companion horse only.
Finn’s adoption fee is $500
Angelica
Angelica is a sweet but timid molly mule. She was an owner surrender due to a tragic loss in her owners life. Angelica prefers women over men and does take time to build trust. She is good for the vet and good to have her front feet done by a nice patient farrier but we have not been able to do her back feet yet. Angelica is difficult to catch unless she is in a smaller paddock or round pen. Angelica is looking for someone who is willing to put the time and effort into working with her to build trust and show her not all humans are bad.
Angelica’s adoption fee is $500
Sesame and Eclair
Sesame (green halter) is a jenny about 15+/- years old. Eclair (purple halter) is a jenny between 20-25 years old. They came into the rescue together and have been together for a long time. Because of their long history together, we are adopting them out as a bonded pair. They are both sweet girls who sometimes take some time to be caught but once caught, they are good for the vet and farrier. Sesame and Eclair do have fallen crests but are at a healthy weight now. A dry lot will be required for adoption.

Mae
This lovely roughly 27 year old Morgan(?) mare is available for adoption as a companion. She has foundered in the past so she cannot live on lush grass. She loves attention and being brushed, she isn’t a huge fan of the farrier (but is getting better every time!). Mae is available as a companion.
Mae’s adoption fee is $500
Mozart
Mozart is a gelding in his late 20s, we are unsure of his breed. Though he is still learning to be caught (a cookie helps), he stands well for the farrier and is good for the vet. He may have insulin resistance, so he is looking for a home with a dry lot, minimal pasture, or an owner that used a grazing muzzle (he is good about keeping it on). Mozart is available as a companion.
Mozart is located in Palmyra, Va.
Mozart’s adoption fee is $500
