The connection between a veteran and a horse is a very honest and transparent understanding unlike anything else. In today's episode, Tyler talks with Donna Simpson, founder and executive director of Pennsylvania War Horse, about their programs to help veterans and race horses heal through a common bond.
Pennsylvania Warhorse is a Pennsylvania based not-for-profit corporation, established to help military and 1st responders suffering from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and TBI (traumatic brain injury). Statistics show that horses have a calming effect on the nerves, lower blood pressure, cause a chemical change in our brains and relieve stress. Participating military and 1st responders interact with our horses under the watchful eye of trained equine professionals. Horsemanship has a proven effect in helping people deal with stress and build better relationships and find a renewed value in their life. Even if they aren't horsemen or horsewomen they can benefit from what horses have to teach us.
