Today, on the news, I viewed a piece about a therapy riding school in Maryland, that usually helps young children with disabilities such as Autism. However, now they are helping out our veterans who are returning from the war with both physical and emotional wounds. They ride the horses and it helps them rebuild their confidence and their core strength and so forth. In return, these soldiers are helping out at the barn by painting and doing whatever they can to make the program even better for the young children that use it. Amazing, touching and it brought tears to my eyes. These men and women who have fought for our country, come home and are helped by horses who they all seem to fall in love with.

Thats great to hear! Horses can be a very good way to cope with issues... Or they can deal you new issues, but either way...
