Java Bean and DC made an outing to Black Mountain to spread some love and cheer! If you know of families or a shelter who could use a "ponygram" reach out, we'll bring the love to you! 🥰

Thank you to The Monte Vista Hotel for hosting such a sweet event. So many families mentioned how nice it was to simply "feel normal" and to see their children having such fun. Witnessing the immense appreciation for the little things is so humbling.

We loved being able to share smiles with everyone!

We're thrilled to start offering scholarships, empowering students who have or currently are facing adversity, loss, and trauma to discover the joy of horsemanship and a barn community. 🐎

If you know any family/youth facing challenges who could benefit from this opportunity, please reach out or connect us! We are here! ❤️‍🩹

Dream Haven Farm is committed to supporting not only an equestrian journey but also each rider and their family's well-being/personal needs during these difficult times such as food needs, drinking water, access to power/wifi, showers, laundry, supplies, recreational space, whatever support is needed.

Please consider supporting our mission. We hope to in turn bring smiles and support to families in need through disaster recovery.

Three weeks have passed since Helene impacted WNC, and we have been actively engaged in relief efforts since the storm's aftermath. All we have been able to do for the community has been empowered directly from all of those who have donated, volunteered, and supported our operations.

The drive to help and coordinating has come instinctively, and our team has taken the added workload in stride. However, capturing the essence of our work has proven to be challenging at times. I appreciate everyone's patience and continued support during the quiet spells. It's been tough to remember to keep a camera rolling amidst heart-wrenching moments, and sometimes it almost doesnt feel "right" snapping pictures while we are out working or running deliveries. But I am trying to get better at documenting as I want our supporters and donors to witness the tangible change they're enabling! I'm determined to share the stories of strength, community, and impact- for now please take the time to watch this video of what we have been able to document in regards to Hurricane Helene's heavy hit on WNC and how Dream Haven Farm and ProDynamo have been working to help.

Stay tuned for updates on our plans to support rebuilding and healing in the community and how you can help!

Choosing a horse that will be the right fit for your child when they're first starting out can make or break the experience for them. The horse can be the difference between a lifelong rider or losing the interest of a potential horseman. Take the time to find the right fit and make the experience enjoyable for your kids.

More on Project Dynamo's efforts here in NC! It was an honor to be able to meet this team and host them here at Dream Haven, they have since moved further north into the mountains to help with efforts there as our immediate area starts to stabilize.

Fox News anchor Jon Scott interviews Veteran-led Project DYNAMO CEO Mario 'MAD' Duarte, who is helping rescue Americans in 'devastating' conditions from Hurricane Helene, on 'Fox Report.'

COLUMBUS, NC - We are calling on volunteers to assist with the setup of a vinyl building that will serve as a community resource center, offering a charging station, water, food, supplies, tools, animal feed, hay and more on a 'take what you need, give if you can' basis to help support our region's recovery efforts.

Your support will enable us to make a difference in our community for the long haul. Equipment assistance for site preparation would be greatly appreciated, but we are committed to making it work with whatever resources we have.

An update on what the last 48 hours has looked like at Dream Haven Farm for all those who have helped and donated-

We have received and unloaded about 700 bales of hay. Reloaded 4 loads to families and farmers in need and a load sent to the Black Mountain Home for Children, Youth & Families for their therapy animals.

With 2 more loads to be picked up today. And 2 delivery loads yet to made when we wrap up on the farm.

We have had supplies come in all the way from Ohio and NJ. We have been making deliveries daily. And dispatching loads into the more remote mountains. A haul from our farm headed to Bakersville NC this morning in the hands of a convoy of volunteers and supplies from Georgia. The amount of people who traveled hours ready, willing, and able to help that arrived in our driveway this morning brought me to tears.

We are expecting another hay load donated from SquirrelWood Equine Sanctuary as well as crucial medical supplies and other neccesities they have gathered and will then load up the truck and trailer and bring those supplies and hay and feed into the devastation zones.

Our team here at home has been nothing short of machine. Kelly, Reily, Abby and our family have been loading and unloading alongside the daily demands of a working horse farm.

And behind scenes the extensions of this effort who combined have put more than 70 hours of travel into this play a huge role in making it all happen.

Huge thanks to ZM fabrication welding CO.LTD (NJ) , Joey & Tyler Blackburn (OH), Jaime Maillet (NJ), Kimberly Ann (NY), Squirrelwood Equine Sanctuary (NY), and so so many more for making it possible.
