More about Dare2Dream:
Dare2Dream (Reg No 039940 NPO) is a non-profit organisation involved in the rehabilitation of abused and neglected horses that, when healed, are used to assist in the healing of abused and neglected children.
The process of rehabilitating these horses can take up to two years before they are physically and emotionally stable to be integrated into programmes for healing humans. However, once healed, these horses make an invaluable contribution, and positive results in humans are often visible during the first contact.
As you can imagine, taking care of these horses is costly as they need medical care, food, water, etc, but it is definitely all worth it when one witnesses the positive results achieved and the joy they bring to many children who get to work with these horses in their own healing process.
