Horses are quick to react to perceived danger but where no threat exists, go ‘back to grazing’. We use the same principle focus on helping people to develop a less reactive approach to situations and how to connect with others to create and maintain better relationship. It’s about life skills, coping mechanisms, decision making and creating a brighter future. Participants tell us that they feel much more hopeful and positive following their time with the horses. We also offer a free 6-week online follow up on-line course for veterans to help with establishing new, constructive practices. BENEFITS (FOR VETERANS) increased confidence coping mechanisms techniques for adjusting to new situations ability to dial up assertiveness rather than aggression breaking unhelpful behaviour patterns focusing on strengths focusing on where you are going rather than where you’ve been

A charity for wounded veterans, run by wounded veterans. From amputees to PTSD and everything in between. We know from experience that people can be wounded on the outside and many of us on the inside too. We recognise that in an ever changing world, terrorism has brought our home services – Ambulance, Fire, Police and Coastguard onto the frontline, we welcome all services not only Military. The main scope of the charity is to help individuals come to terms with injuries and disabilities such as amputees, those with limited vision, partial paralysis, PTSD through outdoor activities. Our main aim is to support disabled veterans on their road to recovery by creating events that will help to encourage them to become involved and help them to grow confidence whilst becoming comfortable with their disabilities. We hope to create events which encourage others to get involved also, generating an enjoyable experience that will inspire all that attend.
