At 17 I suffered a open skull fracture. Capable TBI Still have some drop on left foot. Then at 37 my husband found my husband after a self inflected gsw to the head. Wow this sounds awful its not… I have a good life… I sold my house move to the country . 27 miles from FT Carson to be exact. And bought 4 horses. BEST Tx EVER ! seriously there is something bout the connection between horse and man that is good for the soul. These men and we on need this. I would love to share mine if there is a way to help. Contact through email please.

We all seem to agree, tooooooo much money for something we could all answer the question. But serious, I hope it helps. Think of all the horses that will be helped in return.

Most definitely. As a TBI patient, I experienced the necessary sameness, and friendly comfort and consideration provided by the horse. Somehow, the horse is quite aware and accepting of the fact that he/she is on God’s earth to serve man in whatever category required of him/her. Any obstinance or playfulness seems to be put aside when the human rider needs the extra care. I have observed this as a TBI patient, a therapeutic riding instructor, and a speech pathologist. Especially meaningful is the fact that the horse who helped mr in my recovery was one who had greatfully challenged me previously. Perhaps they sense when to challenge us to improve our condition, and thus help ourselves.
