Horses and Heroes is a Reality TV series, which combines the highly effective Peer Support Therapy with Equine Therapy. Unlike most in the genre, it will focus on healing and positive growth rather than endorsing bad behavior. Each season will bring together the veterans from WWII to the current conflicts. They will be sharing their challenges and supporting each other as they find new solutions. They know the talk, because they have walked the walk. They see the dodges and will be able to call each other on them. Sparks may fly. Tempers may flare, especially when they force each other to face the ghosts. When it airs, it will reach into the homes of the veterans, who need to hear that they are not alone and give them the information as well as the permission they need to also heal. They will help each other find their way back to the world. Veterans can’t go back and make a brand new start; but they can start from now and make a brand new end.

Instead of love, he reawakened Celeste?s dark side, turning her against those she loved the most. With the aid of the dragons, Cheyenne was barely able to ward off their first attack. With each soul they bound to them, Celeste and Dominic?s greed and hatred grew until they would not settle for less than totally destroying Cheyenne and all she loves.

Do you believe veterans are worth the cost of a cup of coffee?

Do you believe that veterans are worth the costs of a cup of coffee or a drink?

We are producing a Reality series called, Horses and Heroes. It combines the highly effective Peer Support Therapy with Equine Therapy. Unlike most in the genre, it will focus on healing and positive growth rather than endorsing bad behavior. We will be bringing together the veterans from WWII to the current conflicts. They will be sharing their challenges and supporting each other as they find new solutions. They know the talk, because they have walked the walk. They see the dodges and will be able to call each other on them. Sparks may fly. Tempers may flare, especially when they force each other to face the ghosts. When it airs, it will reach into the homes of the veterans, who need to hear that they are not alone and give them the information as well as the permission they need to also heal. They will help each other find their way back to the world. Veterans can’t go back and make a brand new start; but they can start from now and make a brand new end.

But we need your support to raise $8,000.00 in development funds to keep the project going, while we raise the production funding. To honor those who gave their all and give veterans the ability to rebuild their lives, please support our efforts to produce Horses and Heroes by giving us the gift 5.00 through our website by clicking here.

Patriotism for Profit from Theresa Chaze on Vimeo.

Advertising is a necessary part of every successful business venture. It not only makes the customers aware of the products available, but it also gives brand recognition. Yet so many corporations use veterans as a marketing tool, yet they give nothing back. We are looking for corporate sponsorship to cross brand with Horses and Heroes, so that both the sponsor and the veterans benefit.

Sponsoring Horses and Heroes through cross-branding will create positive PR in a cost effective manner, while setting an industry standard for social responsibility. Each episode will have two 10 second billboards and one 30 bridge at the bottom of the hour that will be dedicated to promoting the sponsor and their efforts to help veterans. According to Adweek, the average cost for a 30 second national commercial, which will air only once, is $110,00.00. It's not very cost effective in comparison to product cross-branding, which embeds the product promotion and thereby extends the life of message at half the cost.

Eye of Ra; A Occult Horror Feature Comparable to The Exorcist and Amityville Horror

Katherine was born with the power to control the elements. Her whistle called the winds. Her tears refreshed the earth. She was able to see into the realms where fools and angels fear to tread. Her daughter, Sandra, was born with gift that were complimentary—or they should have been. Sandra had the ability to nurture and heal. Her gifts gave her the ability to see and heal others' pain. She could foresee their destinies and give them the courage to embrace their futures Yet it was not enough for her. Sandra wanted more power—more direct control over the world and the realms beyond. When her daughters' developed the gifts she craved, Sandra's envy turned to hatred. When a voice from the dark void reached out and asked, “What would you do to have their power. Sandra replied, “Whatever it takes.”

Eye of Ra is an occult-horror, which is comparable to The Exorcist and Amityville Horror with the tagline, “when a mother eats her young, no one is safe.”
