Cross-branding to prevent veterans' suicide

Horses and Heroes is a Realty TV series that focuses on healing rather than glorifying bad behavior. Working with the horses helps veterans find new ways to cope with their physical and emotional challenges. Peer Support Therapy will give them the safe, supportive environment to face their ghosts head on. Horses and Heroes can’t get them back what they lost. War took that person. Yet it doesn’t have to be the end of their story. They can’t go back and make a brand new start, but they can start from now and make a brand new end. Horses and Heroes will help veterans find the strength and courage within themselves to rebuild their lives and create that brand new end.

Advertising is a necessary part of every successful business venture. It not only makes the customers aware of the products availability, but it also gives brand recognition. Cross-branding with Horses and Heroes will create positive PR in a cost effective manner, while setting an industry standard for social responsibility. We are combining the old school sponsorship of early television with today’s promotional techniques to create a whole new marketing tool.

We are offering a cross-branding opportunity that will give a corporation access to military personnel and veterans, especially those in the 18-35 age group.

The ghost of a murdered child bring his parents back together after they have reincarnated. He needs them to remember their lives together and forgive. If he succeeds, they will all heal and he will be freed to also reincarnate. If he fails, their need for revenge will damn them all

Elizabeth was asked by her mentor to teach a writing course at a small college. Since she never forgets a kindness, she reluctantly agrees. Arriving in town, she instantly regrets her decision. She wants to run, but she is honor bound to stay. Even as the ghost of a small child begs her to forgive, the memories of another time arouse feelings of hatred that she doesn't understand and cannot control. When she meets Shane, all of their lives are thrown onto a dangerous collision course from which they can neither run, nor can they hide. The question is, "Can they overcome their tragic past or will they be doomed to repeat it.

Will you help save veterans' lives?

Horses and Heroes is a reality TV series, which promotes healing rather than bad behavior. Although Equine Therapy will be the stage, the focus will remain on the veterans and how their lives as well as those of their families were changed by the physical and emotional challenges brought into their lives by war.

Veterans supporting veterans has always been more effective than working with civilian therapists. They have been there and done that, which is why they know when to cut slack and when to call the other on the BS.

Each season, Horses and Heroes will bring together eight veterans, who want to reclaim their lives from their physical and emotional challenges. They will support each other as they work with the horses and tell their stories.

Veterans can't go back and make a brand new start, but they can start from now and make a brand new end. Together they will give each other the strength and courage they need to change their directions of their lives toward the new end.
