My Nonprofit Reviews

I have the opportunity to see first hand what exactly is going on on Gordon Road where Dream Equine claims to be and have horses available after following this for approximately two years through an adopter. The statements on the website are not exaclty the truth.
Horses of all types, ages etc that are supposed there and available for adoption are not. I witnessed over 25 horses on a five acrea farm. Six to eight of which where yearlings that had yet to know what grass was due to being in a 500' x 500' roped over dirt area with no grass, water trough, or shelter. I also had the oppportunity to go nto the barn twice to see two without water on more than one occasion and the one named Chiclet that was taken back... well Ms Terri forgot to mention it was her neighbor that let the horse get into such shape and she could see it everyday because the pasture were side by side. At the times I visited she had her back for months and not 5 weeks like stated on the site.
The county has ordinances regarding animals and requirements which she was about 20+ over the limit. Which she fails to tell that she has been investigated several times for and is warned. The bad thngs abouth that is though the laws are not strick enough. She just gets a slap on the hand and a notice that she has so much time to make changes or else there will be another slap on the hand. York County officers have even stated that they are trying to improve the laws regarding horses and facilities like this one.
I did notice that Ms Terri Semper had quite a few of her own horses on this facilty and gettign the same treatment paid for thru donations, however these were posted throughout the internet for quite higher prices.
I do not see how this is a "RESCUE" facilty by what I saw. I was fortunate enough to have been introduced to this facilty threw a past adoptee of several animals. I have seen and was also told about the adoption form so I pulled it up and read the requirements. I have serious problems understanding how the requirements of the potential adopter is any different than the standards set for the facilty itself. and the fact that the facility is constantly BEGGING for donations of all types. This money should only go to the care of these nurse mare foals they claim they are taking such great care of not to the care of ones personal pets and needs. This is the perfect example of people who take on more than they can handle.
TO STATE THE FACTS: It appears that someone possibly started this with the right intentions but things have changed in the past two years.

I strongly suggest that one look further into this before donating money or any thing else for that matter.
