Before This Year Ends, Help Us Change a Horse's Tomorrow.
Every Horse Deserves a Second Chance. Will You Help Us Give One?
Make your year-end donation todayRead our year-end message
As the year comes to a close, families gather, celebrations begin, and we reflect on the things that matter most. At Day Dreams Farm, we are thinking about the horses who have nowhere else to turn.
Some arrive frightened. Some arrive neglected, injured, or suffering from years of mistreatment. Some are simply one step away from a future no animal should ever face.
But their stories don't have to end that way.
At Day Dreams Farm Equine Rescue & Rehabilitation, we believe every horse deserves safety, compassion, dignity, and the opportunity for a better life. We rescue abused and neglected horses, mules, and donkeys, restore their health and confidence, and work toward finding them loving, permanent homes.
But rescue is only the beginning.
Behind every second chance are countless hours of care, mountains of hay, feed, supplements, veterinary visits, farrier appointments, medications, rehabilitation, and the dedication it takes to help a frightened animal learn to trust again.
And there is another part of our mission that is equally important.
Through the connection between people and animals, we strive to empower children and adults from all walks of life. We create opportunities for learning, compassion, personal growth, and meaningful connections. We believe that caring for an animal can change a person's life just as profoundly as it can change an animal's.
This Is Where You Come In.
As we approach December 31st, we are asking you to consider making Day Dreams Farm part of your year-end giving.
Your donation isn't just a contribution to a horse rescue. It is an investment in second chances, healing, education, compassion, and a future where fewer animals suffer from abuse and neglect.
Your gift makes a difference:
- $25 helps provide everyday supplies and care.
- $50 helps support feed, supplements, and ongoing needs.
- $100 helps make room for medical and rehabilitation care.
- Any amount helps us continue answering the call when an animal needs us.
A larger gift can help with the significant veterinary, hoof-care, and rehabilitation expenses that often accompany a rescue. And if you are able to become a monthly supporter, you help provide the dependable foundation that keeps our mission moving forward.
Don't Let the Year End Without Giving Hope.
We know there are countless worthwhile causes asking for your support. We also know that not everyone can give, and we understand that. But if Day Dreams Farm has touched your heart, if you believe animals deserve better, or if you believe compassion and kindness can change lives, we hope you will consider making a gift.
Perhaps you cannot rescue a horse yourself. Perhaps you cannot volunteer your time or provide a barn full of hay. But you can be the reason a horse receives the medical care it desperately needs. You can help put food in a feed bucket. You can help provide a safe place for an animal that has never known one.
You can be part of someone's second chance.
Our dream is that someday there will be no abused, neglected, or unwanted horses left to rescue. Until that day comes, we will continue doing everything we can for those who need us.
But we cannot do it alone.
From our rescued animals, our volunteers, and everyone whose lives are touched by this farm, thank you for believing in what we do.
Please make your year-end donation by December 31, 2026.
Give today. Give hope. Give a second chance.

Who we are
A safe place to
begin again.
Day Dreams Farm is a small group of people who came together out of a deep love for horses and people in need. We help abused and neglected horses, educate the public about responsible horse ownership, and build meaningful connections between people and the animals they care for.
An important message from the director of Day Dreams Farm Equine Rescue and Rehabilitation
The work
Rescue, rehabilitation
and a path ahead.
We rescue equines, including horses, mules and donkeys, that have suffered abuse or neglect or are in imminent danger of ending up in the kill pen or being slaughtered.
We rehabilitate their bodies and minds, then adopt them to new homes where they get a second chance at a great life.
Our mission
Rescue horses. Educate people.
Create second chances.
We help people by assisting and educating horse owners and potential horse owners about the responsibility of horse ownership, breeding and the problem of horse overpopulation in the United States.
Equine-assisted learning
Connection can be part of the healing.
We are dedicated to empowering the lives of children and adults from all walks of life, whether they are disadvantaged emotionally or physically, or simply want to learn to be better and more compassionate human beings through the touch and interaction of an animal.
People can find enrichment, satisfaction and purpose while helping care for unwanted, abused and neglected horses.
From the director
“I've been asked what my goals are for our rescue. Our goals are much like everyone else's: rescue horses, educate people and stop horse abuse and neglect.
But my dream is that our rescue shuts down completely because nobody needs us anymore, that we can no longer find horses to rescue from people who abuse or neglect them.
My dream is that every animal is safe from neglect and abuse, and we are no longer needed. It will probably never happen in my lifetime, but maybe, just maybe, with all of us together we have planted the seeds that will someday lead to an enlightened society where abuse and neglect of all animals and people are things of the past.
It's a big dream, I know, but it is my dream.”
