Review for Dream Equine Therapy Center, York, SC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Just so the truth can be told. I am a long time volunteer with DETC. The below comment is from a Teresa Ramsey of Sharon SC. She wanted to adopt 5 horses from DETC in summer of 2012. She was not approved due to no horse experience and pasture completely lined with barb wire. During the site visit and when her property was not approved for adoption of a young foal, she tried to physically assault the director of DETC. Since then she has been posing as DETC and taking word for word off their website and trying to solicit donations for herself. DETC has had to take legal action against her. It is unfortunate that Ms Ramsey has so much negative energy to put into these lies and harassment, which has all stemmed from her own wrongdoing. I truly hope Ms Ramsey gets the help she needs to be a better person.
As far as DETC, anyone can do their own research and see that none of those comments are true. DETC has never been investigated, has never had 25 horses on 5 acres, has never had horses without food, water or shelter. Anyone can make an appt at anytime to visit horses for adoption and see that they are all well fed, happy, and trained properly. DETC has 3 different properties and multiple foster homes. The director does have her own horses, all of which are paid out of her personal bank account and I know for a fact the director spends thousands per year of her own money caring for the rescues. This is all public record by the way since the organization is a 501c3 nonprofit. It is impossible to discredit an organization that is doing so much good. There are hundreds of happy adopters and so many supporters of this wonderful organization.
Please visit DETC website at www.dreamequinetherapycenter.org to view the horses and foals available for adoption and see how you can help to rescue orphan nurse mare foals!!
