Mushu was born four years ago. This past winter, the horse’s hind hoof became infected, and anti-fungal and anti-bacterial treatments were started with no success. The infection has been diagnosed as canker, a very serious and rare disease that is almost unheard of in the United States, and all the more rare in Southern California.
“The Rocking Horse Ranch is right in my back yard, and I love animals,” says Hyde. “So, when I heard about Mushu, I wanted to help. The equine-therapy work and equine rescue that they do here at the ranch is really important.”

Without raising the $20,000 to treat this disorder, Mushu will have to be put down. Hyde and Gilmore recently filmed a PSA about Mushu and his disease, to help raise awareness of their cause. Donations are being accepted at http://www.rockinghorseranch.org. Click on the tab at the right that reads “Hope for Mushu.”
The Rocking Horse Ranch was founded to provide quality mental health services, personal growth, team-building and leadership, and educational programs utilizing Equine-Assisted Learning and Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy.
According to the Ranch website, "Through interaction with trained therapeutic and equestrian counselors, using DSM-based interventions, educational components, and experiential opportunities, youth and adults can explore issues and learn new life skills. This experiential model allows clients to learn about themselves and others by participating in structured activities with the horses and then processing feelings, behaviors, and patters. The result in terms of clarity, retention, and application are exponential."

San Diego native Dylan Hyde was eight when he began appearing in theatrical productions with CYT, Christian Youth Theatre, having been influenced by his mother and grandfather, both of whom were involved in local theater.
Hyde was fifteen when his vocal talents launched him down the path to a career in pop music. Discovered in a Temecula musical theater production by Richard Allen, he was signed to Crissy Field Records in 2011. In March 2012, the Santee resident earned some press for covering Justin Bieber songs in YouTube videos.
Also an actor, Hyde appears on Richard Allen’s weekly web series Amazed, which streams every Wednesday on www.amazedtv.com, YouTube, and Blip TV. His debut full-length drops October 23, with its first single “Love Is” issued in May. Another single, “Love Never Ends,” was co-written by his best friend Zacariah.
The tween pop singer’s summer 2012 California tour included a June 23 date at the San Diego County Fair in Del Mar, opening for American Idol Scotty McCreery). His summer tour will be co-sponsored by Barnabas Clothing Company, with whom Hyde signed an endorsement deal.
