Horses: A Source of Healing for Veterans with PTSD

Hey everyone! I just read this amazing article about how caring for horses is helping military veterans who are dealing with PTSD. I think it’s fantastic to see how these incredible animals are making a positive impact on the lives of our veterans. It’s not just about the physical aspect of caring for the horses, but it’s also about the emotional connection and sense of purpose that comes with it. I’m really interested in learning more about equine therapy and how it’s being used to support mental health. Have any of you had any experiences with equine therapy or know someone who has benefited from it?
