J&M Acres Horse Rescue

We are an all-breed private rescue located in Maple Ridge, BC that began in 1995 by the owner and operator, Julie Macmillan, after she rescued a horse at auction, which was later dubbed "Lucky" by the people who donated towards his purchase price. Since then, J&M Acres has helped to rescue and re-home over 600 horses. 

Our motto as a rescue is to do our best to evaluate the horses that come into our care to determine the basics of their personalities and their skills and then place them in homes that are a good match with them and that can work with their particular experiences, issues, skills, etc as soon as possible. We are not a training facility; we are a "half-way house". A place for horses to come to start their transition from the slaughter pipeline to a new life. 

Our mission is to get as many horses off the meat truck and into good homes as we can.
