The Premarin® Story

The drug, Premarin®, used as a hormone replacement therapy aid for women is derived from chemicals found in the Urine of pregnant mares. There exists an entire industry; enormous farms where mares are kept constantly pregnant to harvest their urine for this purpose. For more information visit http://www.premarin.org/. These mares and the resulting foals are disposed of when they are no longer necessary to the process; sent to auctions where only the lucky few are purchased by other than those that will use them for animal feed or for human consumption. Dreamchaser PMU Rescue at Dunrovin Ranch in New River, Arizona is part of a network of facilities that save these beautiful animals from certain death and place them in forever homes through adoption.  With the family of staff and caretakers, their gentle philosophy toward training and treatment, and their vast experience and knowledge, these discarded animals are cared for, gentled and comfortably trained to become valuable members of equine society and perfect members of your family.

Dreamchaser PMU  works in concert with other PMU rescue facilities bringing foals and older horses from PMU facilities in Canada. PMU foals and older horses are unique in that they have had from absolutely no handling to minimal handling, and they need special treatment and understanding, time and patience to begin to trust the human animal.

Our goal for Dunrovin is to continue to rescue and place PMUs, and to be available to assist those who also save PMU’s from potential slaughter. These fine animals deserve a chance at an enjoyable life.

Dreamchaser PMU currently has over 42 PMUs available for adoption, varying in age from 7 months to 14 years. Neither the mares nor the Percheron stallion we adopted are trained as riding horses. Our intention is to teach these horses ourselves, using patience, gentleness and horsmanship, and utilize them as trail riding horses, perhaps in programs for underprivileged, emotionally needy, abused, and neglected children. We envision being able, with help and funding, to bring these children to Dreamchaser PMU to experience the joys of horses and the beauty of our surrounding desert.

A horse can touch a child in ways no human can. There is unconditional love, trust, peace, and hope to be shared between those who open their hands and hearts.
