Disclaimer: I didn't read the whole thread except partly the first page so excuse my possible ignorance.
Adopting is a great idea, just look at all your options. Freedom Hill Horse Rescue has some great horses available that can jump and everything else plus more. They don't always have problems, just because they are with a rescue. They may have just been unwanted or owner give-ups, to get the rescues more funds.

Here are a few sites I encourage you to check out that look very reputable, just be sure to know your stuff and ask questions.

Home - Based in Northern Calvert County, Maryland. And be sure to contact this rescue because I know their Adoptions page is not always up to date.
Draft Horse Rescue - Mount Airy, Maryland.
MidAtlantic Horse Rescue - Horse Rescue and Horse Adoption in PA, DE, MD area. - Chesapeake City, Maryland
Eagle Hill Equine Rescue - Culpeper Virginia - Horse Rescue, Horse Education and Adoption - 5 miles East of Chancellorsville Battlefield in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
Standardbred Retirement Foundation - Based in Hamilton, New Jersey.
New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program - I think this is based in Ohio, but they do have horses located in Ohio, Tennessee, and Michigan.
LOPE Texas - LoneStar Outreach to Place Ex-Racers - Cedar Creek, Texas.
TB Friends Home - Northern California. I know this one is too far away also, but I thought I would throw it out there anyways!

Atleast look! Don't rule out adoption options right off the back. You can find some really nice horses there.

And if all else fails, there is a Appy gelding sitting in my back yard who the owner is desperate to get rid of.
