Comment: This is a legitimate horse ranch along with many many other animals. Almost all the animals are quite people friendly, and it is a really clean and nicely organized ranch.If you’re even slightly interested in volunteering at any kind of animal shelter or rescue, I would recommend giving Dreamcatchers rescue a shot. There are definitely some perks as well, such as getting to hang out and take pictures with these beautiful animals. And if you’re volunteering, there are so many things to learn and observe and try and do. And just about all of it involves these awesome animals. All the animals there are super well taken care of. So plan trail ride or see if you can volunteer for a few hours and get to check it all out!

Comment: I adopted a sweet mini horse named Piper from this rescue. The whole experience was very positive. I met several volunteers there and the owner and they were all delightful! The horses at Dream Catcher are loved very much and are safe!

Comment: Dreamcatcher and its amazing owners and volunteer team members literally changed our familys lives for the better. What started out as a first-time visit to see the animals and a working farm after we moved to Central FL, turned into what will be a valued, lifetime relationship.First family birthday trail rides, then 2 of us volunteering at the rescue ranch, then our daughter experiencing her first horse-riding lessons. The best part of that, besides the amazing people involved, was that, not only did she get the experience of learning to ride, before doing that, she was taught proper care for, and bonding with, the horses. She gained an appreciation and love for animals wed never known before. And we formed lasting, personal relationships, not only with the owner family members, but the entire team.This led to involvement with their non-profit fundraisers to support their amazing efforts to rescue and help as many animals as possible. And then, eventually, through their adoption program, it led to our family proudly permanently adopting one of the rescue horses our daughter had fallen in love with.It took 3 years for all this to transpire, but we wouldnt have changed a thing - and we are now the proud owners of a 900#, 23-year-old rescued quarter horse who had changed our lives for the better in ways we never could have imagined.What Dreamcatcher does is nothing short of amazing... and to say they are life-changing, in the most respected and positive way, is an understatement. They are family now. And our family has grown in ways well never be able to express just how fortunate we feel, and appreciative we are.And it all started with a little walk around the ranch to see the amazing work these amazing human beings have committed themselves to.

Comment: My girls loved it! Make sure to get there as early as you can because parking is a bit difficult. The roads to the ranch are still dirt roads and narrow so just take your time. Lots of horses to feed, very sweet and I am sure as time goes on they will add more and make it even more easier for visitors. Cant wait to go back!

Comment: This is a horse rescue run by volunteers that offers trail rides. We had 5 riders and Dreamcatcher was great at matching horses to our individual sizes and abilities. We also had the opportunity to interact with other animals including goat, donkeys, chickens and llamas. There are restrooms for hand washing. All the animals were well cared for.

Comment: We had a lovely afternoon with owner Belinda, booked a 2PM tour, rode horses on a nice peaceful trail and spend time petting other horses. There were young teen volunteers and riders at the horse farm and Ms. Cynthia a very polite volunteer, she also rode with the owner and us. Horses were very well cared for and looked healthy. Brand new little calves and small ponies easily within reach to pet. All sorts of farm animals on the ranch… different breeds of horses to see. Easily able to find the place, payments and waivers done via email expediently. We will return!! Thank you for giving us such a great experience!

Comment: Wonderful experiences here! I volunteer regularly and also teach and feed and you can tell they really care here. The horses are very well taken care of, and have wonderful personalities. You can learn many different riding disciplines here as well. The trails are nice and relaxing and all the horses are great. The other volunteers and staff are really nice. I would definitely recommend going here! I have also adopted 2 amazing rescue horses and they were extremely helpful with telling me their info and further care. They are the most amazing mares and I really appreciate them. Ive taken my quinceañera pictures here with my favorite rescue and they were very nice when it came to taking photos there. I’ve been here for 4+ years and it is like a second home to me.

Comment: We had a birthday party for my 4 year old this weekend at the ranch and it was amazing! I’ve been to plenty of ranches/rescues growing up all over florida and this is by far one of the best. The animals are all loved and well cared for.. CLEAN and everyone was so kind and wonderful. All my guests…adults and kids had a wonderful time and it was by far the easiest stress free party I’ve had. I can’t wait to come back with my kiddos for lessons and rides. Highly recommend I truly mean it. Thank you!!!

Comment: I havent been here in 5 years but I miss this place so much! I started bringing my son at age 4. At first he was too scared to ride so we would just feed the horses apples and carrots. Then he started riding a pony. Then he started riding Nick, a horse who had one eye. Loved coming here. It was the hilight of his days. I hope his trainer and her daughters are still doing well!!

The ranch itself was a very nice place with lots of animals to see. The local staff was very kind and cautious for the children, my daughter loved the pony! It was definitely a great memory to make and I would go back.

Walking around and exploring the other animals they had here was also a treat. A wonderful time had by all. And the best part is the money spent here goes to rescue and take care of these beautiful animals.

My kids have found an interest in horses and the experience they had was great.Our kids (4.5 yr old girl and 6 yr old boy) were over the moon. They had the chance to learn about horse grooming and then took care of two horses before a pony.A great place with a great purpose. Terrific place to take your family.PS - The horses love cut apples and carrots. Youre allowed to bring them peppermints too

My girls said this was the best summer EVER and that they would rather be at the barn than Disney or Universal! The volunteers were fantastic with the kids. I couldn’t be happier with the summer camp experience. They learned so much and it was a great character-building activity for the kids. Thank you!

Comment: We absolutely LOVE this rescue. We have been out several times now. Every single person we have met there has been the kindest people you could hope to meet. These are the kind of people that walk the walk... they genuinely care about these horses and it shows. You can take any of their horses, walk them through pastures full of other horses, no reaction at all... from any of them... the animals are calm, respectful, relaxed, HAPPY. I have volunteered a little and also have two horses from them here at my farm. I have nothing but love and respect for this rescue and the hard work they do to step up when people have let these beautiful horses down. You guys are doing a GREAT thing. I wish we could volunteer more! Its a goal for sure. With 7 of my own, time gets scarce, but your mission is supported with us! Any chance you get, support these hard working, loving people in doing the hard work to save innocent lives. Love from Raggz Ranch, The Wilhelm Family and of course, Gunner and Sebastian! Xoxo

Comment: My daughter did a week long summer camp and absolutely loved it! They had a mini show at the end of the week for parents to attend to see the skills the child had developed throughout the week; it was great. They have amazing horses as well as other farm animals. I loved the goats. We still go by and bring treats for all the animals. I would highly recommend this summer camp. My daughter will be volunteering there in the future as well as attending another camp next summer.

Comment: I am writing this review for the sole purpose of letting others know the few bad reviews on here are completely bogus.This was my first visit ever; found it on google actually. I drove 40 minutes. No one answered the phone when I tried contacting them, and considering I have a brain in my head, I understand why it is that way. This isn’t a coporate office y’all, it’s a ranch/mini farm per say, the owners/volunteers aren’t sitting on their bums, they are out n about with these horses and animals, TAKING AMAZING CARE OF THEM.It takes a team to help rescue animals, and yes, that includes all of us visitors considering word of mouth can ruin a place in the blink of an eye!!!Everyone was extremely kind and happily answered all of my questions.I never post reviews, but I felt the need to in this case to just say... I felt very welcomed, it’s for a good cause, the horses are sweet and seem so happy along with the other random animals.Stop by here, you won’t regret it!Thank you dream catcher ranch, my 3 year old had the best time and I still hear the joy in her voice.Planning on signing her up for learning lessons, and telling everyone about this hidden gem.I will be back, again, again and again!

My horse for the day Elsa was sweet and perfect for my first lesson. Skylar taught me very well and explained what I needed to do and most of all it was fun. Cant wait for my next lesson! Oh yeah, their horses look well cared for.

Comment: My son and I scheduled a ride and barn tour this past weekend. We brought along apples and carrots to feed the horses. We fed the horses, donkeys and goats and had a great time. We also very much enjoyed our trail ride. We could have rode at the state park where we were staying but decided to support this good cause. Everyone we encountered was very friendly. I encourage animal lovers to stop by and support these people and their work.

Comment: OK, so I have been reading all the negative comments and truly most of them are just nick -picking.Dream-catcher Horse Ranch and Rescue..most seem to forget the Rescue Part. DCHRR does not pretend to be anything other than what it is. A sanctuary for animals and people. Not a high falutin dressage or H/J or eventing barn. There are no pretenses and no arrogant know it alls. The main concern is the horse and the welfare of the horse. The kids who come here are happy and safe. As a rider we never stop learning, no matter what discipline, no matter what level. Even the riders of Grand Prix events are still taking lessons. I am so tired of horse people cutting down other horse people. It makes you look small. Put yourself in the shoes of the person you criticize. Go rescue a horse or 2 from the auctions and get an understanding of how much is involved to retrain and make these horses, most of which have been abused or mishandled, trust again.All of the horses at Dream-catcher Ranch & Rescue are safe to be around and even if they do not all show in upper levels of dressage or jumping, they are worth their weight in gold. And who do you think made them that way?? It takes effort and dedication to be a rescue. So kindly, do your research before you accuse.

Comment: My neice enjoyed her experience there this summer. Some lessons were better than others. It just depended on the instructor. She loved spending time with the horses volunteering.

Comment: Absolutely phenomenal day at DreamCatcher Horse Ranch. I am by no stretch a trained rider, but Ive ridden on multiple occasions. The folks at DreamCatcher were hands down the nicest, most welcoming ranch staff Ive ever met. I truly enjoyed my ride on Tommy, which was a Mothers Day gift from my daughter. She rode Mystic. Both horses were fantastic and Alison, the owner, who rode behind me shared a lot of great info about the horses and the ranch itself. After our ride, which was truly lovely ... took us through a wooded area, down to a lake and then the horses walked us through the lake as well ... we were able to feed the horses carrots and apples that we brought with us, as well as feed supplied by the ranch. It was a wonderful experience, and we even got my 3-year old granddaughter to take her first pony ride. All-in-all a fantastic day and I would highly recommend visiting and supporting this ranch and rescue.

Comment: Had a lesson and trail ride with Brandy today. My step daughter had an amazing time with Tommy (the horse). We received a call back within an hour and set up an appt for a few days later. Everyone we dealt with was very nice. The ranch also let me visit with their resident donkeys, which just totally made my day. We will definitely be back!

Comment: I really hate to know that we are all humans, and no one is perfect. There are VERY FEW people like Ms. Ally. Who take interest in animals anymore and to think people dont function daily without a hiccup or two. I think it is absolutely amazing she chose to care for horses. My daughter loves her and everything she stands for. Keep up the good work Dreamcatcher.. You guys are awesome, and the world would be a better place with more people like you in it.....

Comment: While staying in FL for the winter I was lucky enough to discover DreamCatcher. I partipated in the Love & Groom a horse activity they offer on Tuesdays. Juliette worked with me and she is a sweetheart. I took my daughter and grandaughter back for a fun festival the following Saturday. Everyone is super friendly, the horses are beautiful. The care shown to these lucky rescue horses, by Allison and all the volunteers, is so heart warming. Any visit to the ranch is a great hands on experience. If you get a chance to visit I highly recommend it.

Comment: I have been boarding my horse there for two years, as a first time horse owner it has been a huge learning experience and the owners and staff have been amazing and have given me as much help and advice as I need, they treat you as part of the family as well as giving my mare loads of love. Its has been wonderful watching them rescue the neglected horses, nurse them back to health and see them being adopted into loving homes. I am so happy my board money go towards rescuing theses amazing animals, a huge big thank you to everyone at Dreamcatcher.

Comment: I love DreamCatcher Horse Ranch and Rescue! I have been going there faithfully for almost 6 yrs. now. When I discovered DreamCatcher, my dream came true, as well. I just swell with pride to be a part of this fine rescue. The hard work, and compassion the Wheatleys provide for these horses, is immeasurable. Ive witnessed some amazing accomplishments. If you could just see the shape some of these neglected horses are in when they arrive, and step off that horse trailer, it would make you gasp. Within months, DreamCatcher and staff, nurse them back to health with lots of vet care, quality food and hay, and of course, lots and lots of love. You can see the relief in the horses eyes. Please take the time to visit the ranch, read the stories about the horses, meet them, attend some of the many functions and services DreamCatcher has to offer. ALL proceeds go back into the care of the animals. Put this on your list of things to do. Youll be glad you did, and I bet there will be at least one certain horse, who will steal your heart. You will fall in love, like I did. I have that certain, special horse there, that stole my heart, more than 5 yrs. ago. I am thankful. I wouldnt change a thing about DreamCatcher. They make dreams come true for horses and humans, alike. Thank you, DreamCatcher for helping these horses regain their trust, confidence, and giving them another chance and a purpose. We love you!

Comment: This facility is REALLY good, cant say enough good things about it. Always answered the calls or returned the calls promptly, I had to reschedule at the last minute and they were cooperative. I know the instructors need to prepare again when people reschedule and its their time and they may have to come from different places. But all in all very good experience. I took my 2 daughters and their friend and they had a blast and didnt want to leave the place. the instructors explained everything and they engaged the kids in the whole process. They were able to ride comfortably in just 1 lesson and my 2 yr old had so much fun on the pony ride :) I am sure we will be going back there again and again, probably looking to volunteer my time and the kids as well.

Comment: This is one of the most amazing ranches I have every seen! The care that everyone who works and volunteers at this ranch give to those special rescue horses is truly amazing. So amazing I have decided to make a movie with a truly dedicated cast and crew on and about the special things that happen at the ranch. I would recommend that everyone in, around and out of central Florida visit this place

Comment: Unfortunately it seems our society has become too quick to judge others negatively because things did not go the way they expected. We do not live in a perfect world; if we did we wouldn’t need rescues such as Dreamcatcher ranch.My daughter and I volunteer on a regular basis at the ranch. We have been there for about 2 years. I have been involved with horses most of my life. The horses at the ranch are well cared for. We love it there and so do the horses. Everyone at the ranch has the same goal and that is to give back the health and dignity these majestic animals have lost to either unforeseen circumstances or just pure neglect. We are lucky to have such a facility that graciously takes these animals in and rehabilitates them back to health. No one should compare this ranch to other “barns”, as this is not your usual horse barn. Other barns have all boarders who pay monthly board fees to keep their horses there and to cover the costs of feed, hay, bedding, cleaning stalls. This non-profit facility runs on limited funds and donations and they are doing a great job. The children who come for lessons, pony rides and/or birthday parties have a blast. So make sure you compare apples to apples.The volunteers are there because they want to help the horses and the ranch. I believe it is good for these kids to volunteer their time without expecting anything in return. They love the horses and the horses love them. The owners work around the clock mending fences, fixing broken water pipes, cleaning out water tubs in the paddocks, putting out large round bales of hay in the paddocks, scheduling lessons, pony rides, birthday parties, etc. They put their hearts and souls into the ranch. It is a lot of hard work to run a ranch, so don’t be too quick to judge. In fact, just contact the owner and schedule a day to come out and see what goes on “behind the scenes” at the ranch. I’m always there on the weekends in the afternoons, so I would be more than happy to show you what we do and what it takes to care for these wonderful horses.

Comment: I looked at over 30 facilities in Orlando and the surrounding areas before realizing that DreamCatcher was the place I wanted my rescued horse to live, be cared for and loved. I have been with DreamCatcher now for almost two years and every day I am grateful I found the ranch.Not only is my girl well taken care of but DreamCatcher rescues, rehabilitates and heals many, many neglected, abused and lonely horses. DreamCatcher also trains the rescues that are able to be valuable members of the ranch while bringing much joy to both children and adults. Through DreamCatcher’s riding lessons, trail rides, camps, Horse Clubs and other riding programs the rehabilitated horses are given a purpose and a job which besides the love, kisses and treats they absolutely love! Please help DreamCatcher rescue more of our equine friends in need and give them a second chance.Come out and see some of the before and after pictures of the rehabilitated horses….you will be amazed! Then meet some of them and you will see they are well cared for and very happy! Then, take a ride! Thank you DreamCatcher for all you do!

Comment: Taking my granddaughter to this facility in a couple of days and have just finished reading the reviews. I have worked in non-profits for a number of years so understand the problems. However, I am curious about knowing what has changed with this facility in the last couple of years. The reviews certainly have changed. Ill make sure to write one after I return next week.Dont be too harsh regarding teenagers doing a lot of the work. If you have ever owned a horse, you know how much work is involved. Just multiple your situation by the number of horses at the rescue and the fact that many individuals are volunteers. It seems to be a win-win situation. The rescue receives help and the teenagers can put their volunteer hours on college application forms. Many colleges now require applicants to have volunteered prior to being accepted.If you question what is happening to the money, there is a website that allows you to view the IRS papers of every non-profit in the US. BTW Have you ever figured out how much money is costs to feed, shelter, maintain and provide medical services for a horse? It is not cheap.PS I cannot give it a star rating so will be neutral, at this time.I went to the ranch and rescue center today. I was very pleased with the volunteers and Ally. My granddaughter had a fantastic time and talked about it the entire trip back home - over an hour. We toured the facility meeting the horses, chickens and very friendly goats.I will be returning in the future and I highly recommend the ranch to anyone.

Comment: If you want the most loving care for your horse, Dream Catcher Horse Ranch and Rescue Center is your place. Took my family today for a pony/horse ride and couldnt resist meeting the other horses via the barn tour. My six year old loved to pet the ponies and the horses in the barns. Witness many horses well taken care of. The most impressive ones are the horses that they have saved from meat markets, owner abuse, or others.They are flourishing and happier there. The staff and volunteers love their job....they are very friendly. Its very close to the winery, too!

Comment: Such a great place! From Pony Parties for kids, to Horseback Riding Lessons, to learning how to Barrel Race, or doing Show Jumping, DreamCatchers does it all. And they do it with a smile. Cant recommend them enough and to top it off, they are a horse rescue as well. So not only do you have fun, youre helping a good cause at the same time!
