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

Rating: 5 stars  

I have adopted 2 foals from Dream Equine over the past 4 years. When I first moved to the area, I made a deliberate decision to check out this 501c3 organization to see if they were "worthy" of my very limited volunteer time. They most certainly were and I do everything I can to help Terri raise funds now. What I see is an extremely hard working person (she has a full time job as a nurse) who gives to these horses above and beyond what you would think is humanly possible. When most people would be to the point they can hardly formulate a sentence, Terri is still going like the energizer bunny. I have watched her take one of the sickest orphan foals I have ever seen (Armstrong) and thru hard work and sleepless nights, nursed him to health when everyone else thought he would die. I read the one review from the person who was not allowed to adopt, and it is unfortunate to see sour grapes like that displayed when Terri always acts ONLY in the best interest of the horses under her care, directly and otherwise. She keeps in touch with adopters and has often had to take back horses that were not being cared for. The fact that she "nipped this one in the bud" means she protected these horses from what she considered a questionable situation. I take my hat off to her for having the guts to JUST SAY NO. As for my own two orphan foals, Ace & Leila, they will be 4 this year and are doing beautifully. When I look at Leila and remember the condition she was in when Terri rescued her (she was 9 mos. at rescue), my heart is so full and I am so grateful to Terri for saving her. Ace on the other hand is incorrigible, gorgeous, full of life and we LOVE him!
What can I say, but THANK YOU TERRI for all the hard work and your own money that you put into these wonderful beings! Gina Greer (adopter and volunteer)
