My Nonprofit Reviews

The people at Dharmahorse are dedicated to their charges beyond imagination! Their care of the various abandoned, abused, and neglected horses they receive is transformational. If someone comes who is entering as a hospice horse, they do not stint but love and comfort each one with gentle care thought his/her transition. Keeping this place going is no small task - especially since Covid has precluded any volunteer help at the sanctuary. I have been donating as I can for years and am absolutely confident that any amount given for the horses GOES to the horses (or mule or pony, as the case may be!) It is not a job for the faint of heart but it is obviously a calling for Katharine, Mark, and Billy. Here's hoping that soon Katharine will also be able to resume teaching and giving the workshops she does so well.

I am a proud supporter of this worthy charity. I have loved horses forever and I am so happy that a place exists where these noble animals are cared for and loved when their original people can’t (or, more sadly, won’t) keep them. The people running it are so dedicated: the needs of the charges in their care come first, last, and everywhere in between, even to the point of their own exhaustion. I admire their total dedication. They use natural remedies to heal injured or abused horses with great success. They also use the horses and the sanctuary as conduits of learning, both for developmentally challenged individuals and others seeking a deeper connection with their own horses, as well as for therapy. The atmosphere there is almost serene. I wish a place like this wasn’t necessary, really, but I am inordinately happy that this one exists and that it is near me so that I can see their good work in action.
