Horses and Heroes is not about pointing fingers or creating a political firestorm. It is a documentary series, 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.
It will provide the dual benefit of also providing jobs. We will be hiring veterans already in the entertainment industry as well as opening the door for those who are looking for a new career.
Horses and Heroes will create a greater awareness healing benefits of Equine Therapy for civilians, military personnel, veterans, and their families not only for those currently serving, but also for those from previous wars, who never addressed their issues. Horses and Heroes can’t fix the system nor will be it is a cure all. What it will do is show that there are alternatives, which more effectively help them heal their way home. They can't go back and make a brand new start, but they can start from the now and make a brand new end.
This is the video we shot to grandfather Horses and Heroes into Section 181 of the Jobs Act.

Students Helping Students to Find an Alternative to Suicide
Until You Walk The Path, You Won’t Know Where it Goes will be chatting with student and activist, Kayte Letner on November 25, 2014 at 1 pm eastern as she talks about how her own personal challenges led her to create the non-profit organization, Challenge: One Thing.
Kayte
Grace is a nineteen year old, who has struggled through depression
through her teen years. She started Challenge: One Thing on January
14th of 2014 as a way of trying to help others to cope with
depression. Grace is quoted as saying, "I am amazed every
single day by how far we have come, but we still have a long way to
go, we are still so small in the grand scheme of things. That's where
you come in! In order for us to get more support we need people to
spread the word about Challenge: One Thing. I hope that one day I can
say wow I changed so many lives and I hope you can be a part of
that."
Challenge
One Thing: Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the United
States. So Our challenge to you is to go out and do or say one nice
thing to one person. It could be a stranger or your best friend. If
you were to do this every day for a year you could potentially save
three hundred and sixty five lives. AT least one hundred thousand
people will commit suicide this year and if we work together We can
lower that number. Even if its just by one that is one person who
thought they were worth it enough to live through the things they
were going through. That's one less funeral. One less Mother who
looses their child. So please take the challenge and do your one
thing.

Love can be a blessing or the curse that destroys an entire town.
Have
you ever met someone and suddenly felt love or hate? Did you wonder
why? What if you had forgotten the reason? Would you want to remember if
it could save you life?
Never Can Say Good-bye is a paranormal thriller-horror that combines a traditional ghost story with unique twists.
