C Bar J Horse Haven Rescue

A safe place for neglected, abused and forgotten horses and an occasional guest donkey.

Located in Dolan Springs, Arizona, the C Bar J Horse Haven rescues horses from neglect, starvation and abuse. The haven rehabilitates the horses then tries to find forever homes that will adopt them. Their mission is simple, it is to rescue horses from harm and give them a second chance at a safer and happier life they deserve. It all started in 2007 when Cindy and Bill Jackson adopted two horses who were in need of a new home. Good news travels fast and before they knew it Cindy and Bill were being asked to take in more horses, so they did. Here are a few pictures I took at the C Bar J Horse Haven Rescue.

May The Horse Be With You!

Emale

Emale was born February 1996, he is a cross-back mini mule and ready to be adopted into a loving forever home. His previous owner was 86 years old and dying of cancer in 2014 when he brought Emale to the C Bar J Horse Haven Rescue.

As you can see, Emale has his best hoof forward!

Milton Burro

In addition to finding new homes for their horses, the haven also boards when necessary. This is Milton Burro, when his human family goes on vacation he stays at the haven until they return. Yes, he is a donkey!

Jasmine Has Been Adopted!

Living at the haven since 2012, Jasmine is a 12 year old Appaloosa Pony Mule, and the good news is she has been adopted! She'll stay at the haven until September 2015 when her new family will have everything ready for her at her new home.

Pita

Glamour Girl

Meet Pita, also known as Pain In The A...oops! Pita likes people, especially those who brush her! She's a dark bay about 30+ years old, about 15 hands or so. She likes to be the boss but will follow you around wherever you go. Pita doesn't like flies near her face and eyes so she wears her sunglasses...quite glamorous I think.

Pita has some chronic health issues which make her unlikely to be adopted. The C Bar J is her forever home.

Poncho

When Poncho was 2 years old he was left for dead at the side of the road with severe damage to his head. A kindly passerby put Poncho in his trailer and went to the nearest veterinarian. After extensive treatment he was taken to the rescue haven. As a result of his injuries Poncho has permanent brain damage. Poncho is now 6 years old and living a happy and comfortable life doing all the things that a horse is supposed to do!

Pita is good with her shades, it's common dress for horses. WeeMan thinks no one can see him.

candy47, So does it not bother Pita to have the cloth band encircling her head? Does WeeMan ever let anyone see his eyes?

I haven't seen an episode of The Walton's in a long time. I think I'll look for the reruns.

What a blessing the haven is for horses and other animals! Jasmine reminds me of Blue, John Boy Walton's mule in the television show. Good to read she was adopted.

Susan, yes they do such good work at the C Bar J Horse Haven. It's always a pleasure visiting the horses!

This is a very good cause. So many dog and cat rescues an not enough for horse and burro I like that they are aware of the animals special needs and are so very caring.
