Use extreme caution when dealing with this so called rescue! They are NOT a 501(c) charity. Donations are mishandled or redirected to fund personally owned horses or to purchase horses for resale. The operator, Kelly Lynn Gebhardt, of this facility has an extensive police record in fraudulent dealings as well as numerous run ins with law enforcement.

I can not even believe the things I read on here. I recently just purchased a horse from Kelly Gehardt, (AFTER I even read these posts), and none of the things people reported on here even happened. After deciding on the horse I wanted I spent hours at the farm with both kelly and liz gebhardt, they want nothing but happiness for both you and the horse. I even spoke with people who board there that said their horse has never been happier and they will never move him out of there. The horse I choose got a vet check (that i agreed to pay for), a coggins, and four shoes all at kellys expense so that when I took him home he was ready to go, she never tried to hide a single thing about any of the horses she was selling, which the one I picked wasnt even one for sale. Who cares what anyones past is, some people move past it and these animals are well taken care of, yes they are outside all the time but there is a run in shelter and they are in the middle of getting a stable built. Those horses get hay twice a day, as well as grain twice a day and I know this because I helped her feed them all, they are happy and far from abused. All the animals on her farm are warm hearted and crave attention. As for all the unpaid fees that people report, that also never happened. The day he was to be brought to the stable I chose, kelly loaded him up, brought him there, we signed the bill of sale and I Gave her the agreed amount for both the horse and transport. NO fees that werent already agreed upon. I couldnt be happier with the horse I bought from kelly, I spent hours at their farm with both her and liz and they were nothing but pleasant and welcoming people. If you are going to complaing you should probably stop by and see the farm IN PERSON and actually spend time there

you are a scammer and a con artist. You stole that womans pony when you refused to give him up. You seem to have a pattern not giving people their animals and telling lies to keep them. Your currently do that to a humane officer with a pittbull you are fostering. they demanded the dog and you denied. seem all the animals you have you have denie people to have. ANd now the clincher, you take horses from the auctions to save them and NOW they are garbage and your dumping them back into the auctions, what lunatic does that? A vetinarian ofered to buy a horse and you refused to let it go. what better place to be than with a vet? then you call the vet a low life b****? seriously! this is how you run a business? I saw on facebook how many good people you attack and it sickens me. you have no respect for anybody and are truly a saddly disturbed nutjob!

OMG your NOT 501(c)3 or any non profit and your mother is your so called up standing member of the bar association to which she is no longer! The lies are unbelievable you tell! No one is asshurt or revengeful but you! Your the drama queen that attacks people on FB daily. you spread nothing but lIES and seek revenge thru any means. You do have a criminal record and currently have no shelter for your horses so your selling them back to the auctions where you got them from. so your so called wonderful facility is no more than a SCAM. Youa re a con artist! your selling t-shirts as a fundraiser cause you have no hay for the horses and yet you took the horses to auctions so what need for hay do you have?
You flat out LIE tothe public for donations, you are a hoarder and the poor man you live with is having his bank account drained by you! He to has animal cruelty charges, and inappropriate shelter. You are by far the most evilest disgraceful hypocrite with a meth addiction. YES you go weekly to the meth lab with your neighbor, you defraud social security with a disability claim and you have NO disability! anybody that can throw bales of hay, clean, how many stalls?, run and fix a full blown farm certainly can;t have a disability! I for one am sick to death of reading all your lies KELLY! you go to church on sunday and preach how you found god and how blessed you are and then you do evil horrid horrid things to animals? These ripp off reports are all true and you are the queen of LIES herself!

She is a horse breeder and this pisses you off. to bad, this is america the land of the free! Kelly has not misrepresented any horse nor has she misused funds. Youa re simply looking to make her look bad cause your a**hurt. You failed to pay for your pony and DUMPED it on kelly and now you want to cry she is the bad guy, NOT! Kelly has NO criminal record of fraudulent dealings, another LIE! she does have drug charges that she paid the price for and is clean and sober today living a good life saving lives. Thats her record, la di dah! I believe yours was impersonating a cop and your a DR.????? so look in your own back yard your not squeeky clean yourself. These rip off reports are just another way for you a**hurt morons to seek revenge and nothing more. Get over yourselves, mind your own business and find something to with your life besides sit on facebook and cry all day.

The owner of Pleasant View Farms, Elizabeth Gebhardt and her felon daughter, Kelly Gebhardt have ripped off more than just Ms. Reams. Out of state owners have no idea if their animals are receiving the care and nutrition they are paying for. There are not enough stalls in the barn for each animal to be properly housed so those owners that are paying for board are most likely having their animals actually just turned out to pasture. There are no run in sheds in said pastures and the horses have to fight for a place at a round bale just to eat because the pastures are spent. Horses that have been adopted out are under weight even though they have been in the farms care for months. The hooves are in deplorable conditions. Horses are bought cheap at auction and listed on the page as saved and up for adoption at inflated fees will little to no work or care put into the animal. If you really want to help one of the poor horses there, adopt one and get it out of this hell hole before winter takes its toll on them.

Isn't it fact that you will not enter PA because you abandoned your horse at Pleasant View Farm. You never paid a dime on your bill we treated his illness and corrected his severely foundered feet all at our cost because you never paid a dime. You had several opportunitys to make payments. Then when he was well and sound 120 days later you tried to claim ownership to the pony. You lied about vet charges and compulsively lie about the whole situation. You know that Kelly Gebhardt does not own or handle any of the finances you were to pay Elizabeth Gebhardt. Kelly Gebhardt never billed you for anything. You are trying to burn a facility that stepped up and handled your business. Thus facility saved that ponies life with no helo from you after you begged them to pick him up because he was said to have Strangles by you.
Regardless of Kelly Gebhardt past it doesn't have any bearing on the billing of another person's rescue. She doesn't bill anyone. You are lying. You are being prosicuted for libel slander and owing over $2000 in fees to Pleasant View Farm. You won't even come to PA. You tried lying to law enforcement and we're shut d own by them. Bottom line is Pleasant View Farm still has possession of a pony you begged them to pick up because you abandoned the animal. You are also pro slaughter tgat alone says what kind of person you are.
Anyone wanting to know the truth please contact us directly. Mrs. Reams is not being honest and I will gladly answer any questions you have. My po at is that my past and it in no way affects the rescue work done by Pleasant View Farm.

Kelly of Pleasant View Farms is the real liar. There are over 50 horses at this farm without enough housing to properly care for them. The quarantine protocols are very lax if existing at all. She flips horses, or tries to at a 1000% mark up. One moment she bills herself as the biggest sales barn in Gibsonia and the next she is a rescue all the while using the Lord's name to try to make herself look better. This woman has a criminal record of fraud, bad checks, driving without a license, eluding police and possessing drug paraphernalia. Her farm hand has a criminal record of animal abuse and possessing drug paraphernalia. She has failed to supply proof of both her articles of incorporation and/or 501c3 status. Don't let the number of likes on her site fool you either, anyone can use a fb app to boost those. Please place your trust and donations carefully and wisely. Pleasant View Farm and Kelly Gebhardt are not the one you should invest in.

Please do not be mislead by the slanderous and malicious statement against our facility. We do wonderful work with equines at our rehab. We have saved many lives. The statement is false. It was written by disgruntled women who lost possession of thier horse due to abandonment. We are an upstanding member of our community and can provide many refrences to the good work we do. The people stating this claim have never set foot on our farm or met with any of our staff in person. As to our donations they all go to the care of our horses and the overhead of our facility. They have NO PROOF of this claim that funds are misused.
Our facility has never had any problems with the authorities and we are supported by our local community. We are recommended by the Dept. Of Agriculture and several veterinarians in our area. We are here to provide quality care for any horse within our reach. Any alligations that state anything but the positive and outstanding service we provide are stemming from jealousy and the fact that we will not allow a horse to enter a situation other than one of stability and love. Because we stick to these guide lines they are disgruntled. We welcome visitors on the weekends and have horses for adoption We also provide many other quality services.
Our facility is owned by an upstanding member of the bar association. We are a registered non-profit in the state of PA. Please feel free to call me directly if you would like to visit our facility. We will continue to provide loving professional care for all equines in need. We also welcome volunteers. We are dedicated to saving equines from abuse and slaughter one soul at a time. The person writing this malicious gossip is doing nothing to help the battle we fight daily. Please join with us and fight animal abuse of all kinds. This type of gossip is only hurting the horses we work so hard to save. I look forward to showing you our facility and please don't fall victim to this individuals lies. We need more people to stand together with us to save these horses. We do not feed into this malicious behavior and pray for those who spread these lies.
We believe that together with your help it is possible to make a diffrence. Please join a great cause and contact us to help save lives.
