Equine Therapy and Peer Support Therapy Heals and Empowers Veterans

 

Horses and Heroes will take ten veterans, including two celebrities, on a healing adventure of self-discovery as they confront their ghosts and make peace with them.  The cast will be interacting with each other as well as the horses.  On the surface, it sounds ambiguous and exploitative. However, Horses and Heroes is solely about healing and new beginnings, not exploiting people’s pain to make a buck.  Which is why the series will never have a typical teaser reel.   It would be cruel to bring the team together to start the healing process, which will open their wounds and then tell them to just put a pin in it. 

Military personnel and veterans have a language and awareness that is all their own. Vet-to-vet support brings veterans together to support each other as they confront their ghosts. They know the language.  They know the dodges.  They can see the distance growing in each other’s eyes and know how to pull the other back from the edge.  Tempers may flare.  Tears may fall, But the sisterhood and brotherhood that kept them safe will also bring them the rest of the way home.

That’s not to say that Horses and Heroes will be all sad sob stories.  On the contrary, they will be the exception, not the rule.  Snarkiness, dark humor, and practical jokes, especially between the different branches, open the door for “you ain't seen nothing yet”.  This makes the cast the Y factor.  Anyone who has ever worked with animals knows how unpredictable they can be.  Horses are even more so, which is why no matter how the production team pre-plans and organizes, the horses will always be the X-factor that will make things go sideways. 

In this case, X plus Y will add up to a unique series that supports healing, positive forward movement, and new beginnings.  Japan has a specialized art form called Kintsugi, which means "golden joinery."  It is the process of repairing broken pottery by mixing powdered gold, silver, or platinum in the glue to highlight where the pieces are reconnected.  It’s a philosophy that believes that the “brokenness” is part of its history, which should be honored instead of being ignored.  Horses and Heroes honors the service and futures of the cast and all those who have served. 

Additionally, Horses and Heroes will be hiring veterans for jobs in front of and behind the cameras.    There are already many veterans working in the entertainment industry.  The production team will give the necessary training and experience to those who want new careers.

Most equine centers offer their programs free to veterans. As non-profits, they are limited by their ability to raise funds.  The centers that host Horses and Heroes will be paid a location fee, receive national exposure, and a percentage of the net profits from the season they host.

Horses and Heroes' production team is looking for equity investors and corporations that
want their mission to succeed.  To raise awareness and generate development funds, they have created a line of shirts that are shipped directly from the manufacturer and cost approximately $35. The link is on the website, along with the links to find equine centers around the nation.  Veterans can’t go back and make a brand-new start, but with your support, they can start from now and make a brand-new end.

Veterans can't go back and make a brand new start but they can start from now to create a brand new end.

 There are people who are doing their best to help. We do the best we can with what we have and what we know. When we have better and know better we do better. I represent a new TV series called Horses and Heroes. It will tell veterans' stories as they work together to find new coping skills for their physical and emotional challenges. We will also be hiring veterans in front of and behind the cameras. Although the show will entertain, the focus will be on telling their stories so civilians can understand and other veterans will know that they are not alone. It will prove that healing is possible, no matter how long ago the wound happened. It's not a cure-all. Veterans can't go back and make a brand new start but they can start from now and make a brand new end.

Our second military-based project is a scripted series called Operation Home Base. It combines real-life stories with a fictional international conspiracy. As the members of OHB help others, they heal their own wounds.

The ghost of a murdered child bring his parents back together after they have reincarnated. He needs them to remember their lives together and forgive. If he succeeds, they will all heal and he will be freed to also reincarnate. If he fails, their need for revenge will damn them all

She wants to run, but she is honor bound to stay. Even as the ghost of a small child begs her to forgive, the memories of another time arouse feelings of hatred that she doesn't understand and cannot control. When she meets Shane, all of their lives are thrown onto a dangerous collision course from which they can neither run, nor can they hide. The question is, "Can they overcome their tragic past or will they be doomed to repeat it.

Veteran Reality Series That Promotes Healing Rather than Bad Behavior

Horses and Heroes is a reality TV series, which promotes healing rather than bad behavior. Although Equine Therapy will be the stage, the focus will remain on the veterans and how their lives as well as those of their families were changed by the physical and emotional challenges brought into their lives by war.

Horses and Heroes has a ready made market with a demographic that crosses all ages, ethnic backgrounds and genders, especially the 18 to 35 year age group, many of which are currently returning from service and are being discharged. Our target audience will also include military personnel, veterans, and their families from past conflicts.

Horses and Heroes is not about pointing fingers or creating a political firestorm. It is a twelve episode TV series that has the possibility of running multiple seasons , which will help military personnel and veterans find a new way to cope with the physical and emotional challenges brought into their lives by war. Equine Therapy does not involve drugs nor lying on a couch and spilling their guts to a therapist. What it does do is help them find new ways to see and react to their emotional triggers. It helps their bodies remember how it used to work. It can't replace what was lost, but it can give them the confidence to see that they are more than the sum of their body parts. Horses and Heroes will give veterans and military personnel the information they need to find alternative healing solutions, which can help lower the suicide rate.

Horses and Heroes: A Healing Documentary for Veterans

People have asked me what we need for Horses and Heroes. What they are really asking is how would helping us benefit them. The answer is very simple. We are offering excellent opportunities to embed products/services in a family friendly documentary that will appeal to a very diverse audience, especially those who are in the military and their families. The paperwork was completed to grandfather H & H into Section 181 of the Jobs Act, which gives investors a K-1 tax deduction equal to what they invest. Our connection with the cable channels make potentially very profitable.

Horses and Heroes will be formatted for cable networks, such as the Military Channel, other Discovery networks, History Channel, AMC, and A & E. We also have a foreign television distributor interested in presenting Horses and Heroes to their European networks. Our director, Larry Wilcox, has a strong connection to a distributor, who has connections with universities, colleges, and medical facilities. However, we will also be sponsoring a very limited theatrical release, which will act as fundraisers for veterans’ organizations such as Wounded Warrior Project, Military Warriors Support Foundation, Coming Home Project, and Operation Second Chance etc. Documentaries and films, which are shown in theatres and in film festivals, receive better network leasing contracts as well as greater DVD/download sales. In addition, the expenses connected to fund raising events would be considered a donation to the non-profit group and thereby they will be tax deductible.

The package would cost approximately the same as one national ad. However, we have broken the time into five segments the three 30 second bumpers and the two the 10 second billboards to make it affordable to smaller companies.

Help for Veterans

It has been known by many names. During the Civil War, it was called “Soldier's Heart”. During World War II they called it "Shell Shock". It has also been called "Combat Fatigue". The current label is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PSTD.

In the past, it was down played. Sufferers were told to man up. They were medicated, but instead of healing the medication turned them into zombies and never dealt with the core issues. Many have tried Talk Therapy. Results were limited. Most military personnel thought that only one who had walked the walk could possibly understand the emotional and physical toil of war. Buddy therapy is effective, but it is also limited by location and the number of veterans available to help.

Animal Assisted Therapy has been extremely effective for those who are physically and emotionally challenged. It has become more widely used in cases of PTSD, especially for veterans. Although almost any animal can be a healer, dogs and horses are the ones most commonly partnered with veterans. Dogs have the advantage of being accepted in both cities and rural areas. However, horses are known to better reflect the mood of the person handling them. This ability helps the PSTD patient to learn how to recognize their own feelings. In this way, they learn how to retrain their mind and body reacts to stressers.

A semi-scripted documentary Horses and Heroes has a personable host, who has a diverse military background as well as experience working with horses. She will be chatting with the staff of Charity Hills Ranch as well as with some of the veterans,who have gone through the program. They will be sharing their personal physical and emotional challenges as well as how working with the horses helped them heal.
