ABOUT US

The Dunrovin Ranch is a boarding, teaching, PMU rescue and placement facility located in New River, Arizona. We are located in the Sonoran Desert, 35 miles north of Phoenix. The ranch is close to Anthem, Desert Hills and Cave Creek making the Dunrovin Ranch an ideal location for boarding.

With only being a few minutes ride from the Tonto National Forest and thousands of acres of Arizona state land, the Dunrovin Ranch is an exceptional facility for riding!

ACCOMMODATIONS

On the facility are three round pens, two mare motels with eight stalls in each motel, several stand-alone stalls and ample, fenced turn-out areas. Each horse, and his/her individual needs are tended to with loving care. There are three feedings per day, one at 7:30AM, one at 2:30PM and one at 9:30PM. The staff lives on-site, so special supplements or medications can be administered as needed. All horses are turned out regularly as their social abilities allow. Stalls are cleaned at least once daily, often twice per day.

With a family of staff and caretakers, their gentle philosophy toward training and treatment, and their vast experience and knowledge, it is a facility where both you and your horse will be comfortable and well cared for.

HISTORY

The Dunrovin Ranch was a dream conceived in 1993 with the purchase of land in New River, Arizona. An eight-stall mare motel was initially constructed on the property. However, by the time it was built, the motel was already too small for the number of horses that Susan and Jamie Thompson, owners of the Dunrovin Ranch, had acquired.

In 2002, the Dunrovin Ranch went from a four-horse home to a twelve-horse home almost overnight when Susan and Jamie discovered PMU foals needed homes, too. The initial plan was to adopt only one PMU foal but that plan was quickly changed when the necessity of homes were needed for these beautiful horses. Otherwise destined for feed lots, three foals were adopted and two months later, two pregnant PMU mares were added to the herd! Thus, the Dreamchaser PMU Rescue and Rehabilitation Facility was born.

Since 2002, another eight-stall motel has been added as well as three round pens, several large, fenced, turn-out areas and a number of stand-alone stalls.
