Meet Stretch! 💙

Our amazing volunteer, Mr. Lee, designed and built this new piece of equipment to help prepare many of our riders before they even climb into the saddle.

Stretch is designed for participants with hypertonia, a condition that causes muscles to be abnormally tight or stiff, making movement and positioning more difficult. Before riding, gentle stretching and positioning on Stretch help relax muscles and improve flexibility. Once on the horse, the horse’s rhythmic, three-dimensional movement continues to promote more normalized muscle tone, better posture, and improved movement for therapy activities.

And leave it to Carrie to jump right into the picture! 😂 Our resident photo bomber is always camera-ready.

A huge thank you to Mr. Lee for sharing his creativity, craftsmanship, and heart. Volunteers like him make it possible for our participants to achieve amazing things.

Welcome to the team, Stretch! ❤️🐴.

Aleyah: “Listen here, kid. I have been putting up with your nonsense ALL DAY. Go bother your mama... because Auntie Aleyah is officially OFF DUTY!” 😒🐴😂

At just three months old, Matthew is convinced the world revolves around him. He spends his days pestering his mama and both of his aunties from sunrise to sunset.

Somehow, they still adore the little troublemaker...
..or maybe they’re just counting down to nap time. 😅

Good thing he’s ridiculously cute... because his survival depends on it! 🤣❤️🐴

❤️ **A Big Thank You to Shubham (aka “Shoobie”)!** ❤️

Last Friday was the last day for our wonderful summer intern, Shubham, and we are going to miss him so much!

Shoobie has truly been a star this summer. He showed up at 7:00 every morning to help feed and bring in the horses and make sure everyone was fly-sprayed, comfortable, and ready for the day’s sessions. He jumped right in as part of our team, worked hard, got along with everyone, and was just an absolute joy to have around.

He even created an amazing “grocery store” project where our kids could go shopping on horseback and choose what they wanted to buy—a huge hit!

Carrie, our hardest-working intern and biggest Shoobie fan, made sure he left with an “I ❤️ SHOOBIE” coloring page. 🥰

Thank you, Shubham, for everything you brought to Butterfly Dreams this summer. You have been such a special part of our team, and we are going to miss you tremendously! We can’t wait to see what wonderful things are ahead for you. ❤️🐴

👖🐴 Got old kids’ blue jeans? Peanut Butter needs them!

Our sweet pony Peanut Butter is currently suffering from laminitis, and as part of his treatment, we are having to keep his feet in ice throughout the day.

We are repurposing old kids’ blue jeans to make ice boots for him, and because the boots need to be changed out frequently, we need enough pairs to keep swapping them out throughout the day.

The jeans do not need to be wearable or in good condition. Stains, holes, worn knees, and rips are all perfectly fine—as long as the denim is intact from the knee down.

So before you throw those old jeans away, please consider sending them our way. Your worn-out jeans just might have one more very important job to do—helping Peanut Butter feel better! 👖❤️🐴

As you can see, Peanut Butter is already modeling his homemade ice boots like a champ! 🥜🧈🐴

Thank you for helping us take care of Peanut Butter and all of our wonderful horses and ponies at Butterfly Dreams!

🦋 Every butterfly on our fence tells a story. This beautiful ocean-themed butterfly was painted by our talented friend, Jeannie. Along with the UNG Art Department and other local artists, she has volunteered her time and creativity to turn our custom butterflies into works of art for the children who visit Butterfly Dreams Farm. Thank you, Jeannie! 💙
