About J&M Acres
J&M Acres Horse Rescue is a non-profit rescue in Maple Ridge, BC. We rescue most of our horses from auction or from off the racetrack. Our aim is to get as many horses as we can off the meat truck and adopted into loving homes so that we are able to rescue more.
We are 100% volunteer run and are here for the purpose of rescuing horses and helping them find long-term, loving homes.
The Story
In 1995 we rescued our first horse; a badly abused oldie, dubbed “Lucky”, that was being run through the auction for slaughter. Since then we have purchased 300+ horses destined for slaughter and placed them in good homes. Our rescues are all breeds of horses and all ages from 6 months to 36 years old that have gone on to live happy, productive lives.
Recent Auction
We just rescued 4 new horses from a local auction on Sunday, September 26th. Here are details for the new arrivals as well as the remaining three rescues needing homes.
Larry is a gorgeous 15 year old, 16.3hh, Thoroughbred x Trakehner.
He is very friendly and quiet. Needs his feet done, but otherwise seems fine. Has supposedly been ridden both western and english and would make an excellent jumper or cross-country horse due to his size.
Lilly is a 14.2hh, 3 Y/O, Thoroughbred mare.
We do not think she has been broke before, as she kept spitting out the bit this morning. She has a great, quiet temperament though and would make a great mount for almost anyone.
Noss is a 6 year old, Quarter Horse mare. She stands around 14hh.
She has supposedly been started, but will require a more experienced rider. With some work, she would make a great prospect as a small show pony.
Miss Tina is a yearling, red dun, Quarter Horse filly. She is halter broke and very quiet.
Her sire is a gorgeous buckskin stud with the perfect Quarter Horse look. Her registration is pending.
Annie is a Standardbred filly. She is almost 3 years old now and is roughly 14.2 hh.
Annie has been at J&M Acres for 6-8 weeks, but has now been started under saddle. She is still young and green but she is quiet and willing. We have walked, trotted and even cantered her under saddle so far. She has also been out on trail rides and does well with new surroundings. She has been making incredible progress so far and we hope that she catches someones eye soon.
China is a 15hh, 20 year old, cremello, Quarter Horse mare.
She spent the last 18 years of her life in a pasture with a halter too small before she came to J&M. She is a not broke, but she would make a great pasture mate or barn buddy for a younger horse.
Crystal is roughly 16hh and is a 15 year old, Thoroughbred mare.
She is well-broke and a very friendly and experienced mare. She has been ridden in the past and walks, trots and canters well under saddle.
