Horse healing Hearts is a program designed to help those with PTSD, returning veterans, troubled teens and those with emotional trauma. Participants are introduced to horses and learn horses are hard-wired to fear humans. Each session includes the opportunity to get to know the horses, enter their stall, catch the horse, hook on the lead rope and lead him from the stall. Participants are taught how to lead the horse through the various obstacles.
