Review for Equine Dreams, Sandwich, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

As a volunteer, for many years, I have seen so many children and adults be helped by the horses and volunteers at Equine Dreams. I have witnessed a teenager in the pediatric oncology unit of a hospital, talk to a miniature horse, sit up and smile after lying in her bed for several days, depressed and not wanting to talk or move. A boy about eight years old, whose everyday mobility was being pushed in a wheelchair, riding on a horse, supported by a person on either side, with a horse leader and instructor, reached up and pulled leaves off a tree. Veterans with PTSD, who thought suicide was their best next option, bond with a horse and seek help to continue to live. A three-year-old diagnosed with autism, saying his first independent words, "walk on", to his cars after learning to lead a miniature horse. Equine Dreams is the best!!!!!
