A look inside Maryland Quarantine!

Come tour Maryland Quarantine with us! Ally takes on a walking tour of Joe Topper and Beth Walker’s Breezy Hill Stables.
Horses come here for about 2 months to rest and heal, and prepare for strangles testing. We follow Cornell’s gold standard protocol of 3 negative strangles lavages before releasing horses from quarantine. So far we have managed to catch many a strangles carrier this way.
The entire layout of this incredible farm was designed by doctors at Cornell to be the most biosecure and correct equine quarantine on the east coast and we are VERY lucky that an expansion has been planned for summer 2023!
If you’d like to support the care of the rescue horses here, you can go to www.colbyscrewrescue.org/donate. We also have an Amazon Wishlist, Chewy Wishlist and horse sponsorship on our website. All donations are tax deductible!
* in the baby pen there is a sleeping Belgian whose coming out of sedation from a procedure by Dr. Mayer. He’s not ill or anything, just zzzzz

It is really amazing what y’all put into helping these horses and just goes to show that when haters have complained that you are raising too much money for the horses that they themselves are ignorant on what is necessary to get these horses healthy and safe.

[@BastetNoodles]

Exactly ~ couldn't agree more!

Thank you for spelling things out and also for the tour. For any who may have been questioning your organization, I hope this has cleared up any questions you may have. I'm sure most people think as I do, that this is one of the most impressive, and well thought out, rescue organizations I've ever seen. Correct me if I'm wrong, but, if I remember correctly, you never dreamt about doing this until after you found, and adopted Colby and Big John. For outsiders, it may seem impossible, but it is crystal clear to me that you didn't start this on a whim. This kind of thing takes good connections in the equine world, hours of meetings and phone calls, cooperative land owners, dedicated, flexible Veteranarians, well educated and caring trainers and farriers, passion, and lots of money. My only fear, is that Ally and Olivia forget to properly compensate themselves for their work, and/or burn themselves out. However, from what we've seen on the tour, if Olivia and Ally ever had to step away from running this, it would be able to continue, due to all the special people they've brought into CCR. Thank you for all you do for your rescues, and for putting good out into the world. You are inspiring:)

I love the model used by Colby crew it is a breath of fresh air and yes is sincerely inspirational

Thank you for the great tour and the awesome work that you and your peeps are doing for these beautiful animals. 🙂

[@Razzles819]

Thank you for showing us the quarantine farm! I love seeing "behind the scenes!"

[@JackieNYFL]

Good lord!! I don’t know how Ally walked through those beautiful horses and not touch them! 😩 I love the way the white horse responded to Ally’s voice 🥰 What a beautiful, clean facility!

[@flower9973]

I know. Thought the same thing.

[@ninjajen7]

That is brought up in the vid. She can't touch/pet them because she'd been in quarintine w/ sick ones, & can't risk passing strangles to others that are healthy.

[@mnmbrown18]

So much appreciation to Joe and Beth at Breezy Hill. Their setup is amazing and such a huge complement the all the work CCR does. Thank you for taking us along with you. It's so good to see it and gets some updates too!

Horses are beautiful animals. I love mules and donkeys too. What a sweet herd they are! I am so glad you are taking care of these beautiful babies. They're awesome!

[@karenphylow-vl8ih]

Thanks for the tour, Ally! 🥰

[@klabs2434]

Omg, I love the mules lined against the fence. Let's be real though, they are there for Olivia behind the camera 😂 #mulewhisperer

[@jessicaduckett8718]

Wow, awesome tour video! Love your facilities and the care that goes into the health of the horses. Keep up the amazing work!

[@Volkslady]

Great tour, and I love all that you and your team does! My dad is looking for a legit group to support in his late wife's name, and I am going to STRONGLY recommend Colby's Crew!

[@dreamcatcher3861]

Wow, this system is incredible. I love that you have several facilities where horses can go. It’s such a good idea, this allows you to save so many more lives than having one shelter. It eases the load on staff and gets lots of stables involved in rescue work. Well done in organising such an incredible charity, your work is just priceless. Do you have a lot of regular donors or do you have to do constant fundraising to help the horses in your facilities? Thank you for all you do to help the voiceless beautiful horses in America, you are absolutely incredible. 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@frantroje3177]

Wow! I appreciate all the attention to detail and your professionalism. How many equines are in your care at this time in August 2024?

[@teresakenyon4769]

I loved watching and learning how they are all looked after. Amazing job Ally and everyone. You are all much loved.

[@hollyrotella9931]

Appreciate a behind the scenes video. Just goes to show, dreams do come true, for our 4 & 2 legged families ❤

[@TammySaj-zm6kr]

Quarantine pens are nice 😊

[@mollysheridan7134]

It must be driving Ally nuts to not be able to touch them.

[@jennal107]

[@adyferguson3846]

I wish more people would put their energies into saving,retraining,treating etc into running animal sanctuaries.well done keep up your work.its very heartwarming and interesting the jobs your crew do.when my daughter has finished college I'd love to send her to you to help with your movement.she wants to be an animal (horse)physio/hydrotherapist. She would love this.even if for a few months experience with you.

[@crittanz]

Really love the video!!!

[@suepage7839]

What is a strangle test

[@redthunder2010]

Nice tour of where they all go once you buy them. What is strangles?

[@JackieNYFL]

I would Google that. It’s almost like horse covid

[@audreyreynolds8766]

They should not have nylon web halters on all the time, they are at risk of hanging themselves...halters should have leather tops "breakaway" halters. If they get hung up on a fence they will break...mush safer.
