Horses and Heroes is a
Reality TV series, which combines the highly effective Peer Support
Therapy with Equine Therapy. Unlike most in the genre, it will focus
on healing and positive growth rather than endorsing bad behavior.
Each season will bring together the veterans from WWII to the current
conflicts. They will be sharing their challenges and supporting each
other as they find new solutions. They know the talk, because they
have walked the walk. They see the dodges and will be able to call
each other on them. Sparks may fly. Tempers may flare, especially
when they force each other to face the ghosts. When it airs, it will
reach into the homes of the veterans, who need to hear that they are
not alone and give them the information as well as the permission
they need to also heal. They will help each other find their way
back to the world. Veterans can’t go back and make a brand new
start; but they can start from now and make a brand new end.
