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.
Until
You Walk The Path, You Won’t Know Where it Goes will be chatting
with veteran and VA whistle blower, Jeannette Taper on Wednesday,
November 11, 2015 at 1 pm eastern.
Jeannette
Taper has 30 years of combined military service. Like many other
service members, she has experienced traumatic events that changed
her life forever. The first was a simple back surgery between the
T8-T9 that went wrong and she left the hospital in a wheel chair. The
second event happened during her recovery from surgery, when she was
sexual assaulted. That was the beginning of my journey to heal
through hell. She was recruited by the VA to as a Peer Support
Specialist. She was assigned to the Cheyenne Medical Center. She
learned that of “Ethical Boundaries in the Patient-Clinician
Relationships “ had very little meaning to other members of the
staff.

Horses and Heroes
combines the concepts a talk show with that of a documentary, by
intertwining the spontaneity of a talk show with the scripted
informational aspects of a documentary. It will utilize both
interviews and practical demonstrations of horse therapy to give the
audience a full understanding of how and why working with the horses
help veterans heal. Although Equine Therapy will be the stage, the
primary focus will be on the eight veterans as they sharing what
they experienced while they served our country
and how those events
had a lasting effect on their lives as well as on those who love
them.
Horses and Heroes is
not about pointing fingers or creating a political firestorm. It is
a documentary series, which will help military personnel and veterans
find a new way to cope with the physical and emotional challenges
brought into their lives by war. Equine Therapy does not involve
drugs nor lying on a couch and spilling their guts to a therapist.
What it does do is help them find new ways to see and react to their
emotional triggers. It helps their bodies remember how it used to
work. It can't replace what was lost, but it can give them the
confidence to see that they are more than the sum of their body
parts. Horses and Heroes will give veterans and military personnel
the information they need to find alternative healing solutions,
which can help lower the suicide rate.
