Gentle Giants was formed in 2005 to facilitate the rescue of draft and draft cross horses from slaughter, abuse, and neglect. They are the largest draft horse rescue in America located in Mount Airy, Maryland, with two farms spanning over 300 acres. Many of their horses are rescued from auctions where it is their last chance before being sold to slaughter. Some of the horses have special needs, but most just have had an unfortunate run of bad luck and need a new chance at a loving home. Gentle Giants efforts are supported solely by donations, adoption fees, and LOTS of volunteers sweat. Come out and give them some love!
