Jessie James Ranch & Rescue is a horse sanctuary located in Grass Lake, MI. We rescue horses at auction who have been neglected, abused or abandoned. We work to rehabilitate these animals and, once thriving, find new healthy homes and owners for them. Most importantly, we hope to harness the mutual benefit of connecting humans and horses to build trust, empathy and holistic healing.

Opening a large animal rescue isn't for the faint of heart. Jessica Carlo shares why her big dreams include providing a haven for horses in need, and what she has in mind for the future of the ranch.
Jessie James Ranch & Rescue was founded by Jessica and Jim Carlo. Both seasoned business professionals, this husband and wife duo wanted to pour their experience - and their hearts - into something personally meaningful. After adopting her own rescue horse and discovering the great need for rescues, Jess knew immediately that her mission was to fill that need.
With a lot of uncertainty, and even more passion, Jim and Jess bought the farm in Grass Lake with only a dream that one day, fewer horses would have to endure a life of trauma that ends in careless slaughter.
They knew they couldn't do it alone.
And they know how blessed they are to have so many friends, family and community members in their corner.

Caring for horses can be expensive! As you can imagine, caring for horses in need of special care and attention is even more financially burdensome. We rely on donations and volunteer power from folks like you to provide all the resources our friends need to thrive. Reach out to learn how you can help.
The best way to understand why we do what we do is to see it first hand.
Schedule a visit to the farm to meet our horses, tour our trails and learn why we think this horse haven is heaven on Earth.
