Rated 5 out of 5
"I came to the organization feeling hopeless. Equine therapy changed my life. The connection with the horses gave me a self-confidence I never knew I had, and I began to feel stronger, both physically and mentally. The professional and dedicated staff supported me every step of the way, and today I am a different person."
A. S. - PTSD Veteran
"As a teenager, I felt lost and without direction. The organization's program gave me a safe place where I could express myself and discover my strengths. Thanks to the riding and the support of the instructors, I was able to return to my studies and believe in myself. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity I received."
T. L. - 23 years old
"After years of combat service, I struggled with PTSD that made it difficult to function. The therapy at the organization provided me with coping tools and significantly improved my quality of life. Riding created a special bond with the horses, which allowed me to release tension and find peace. I highly recommend this organization to any soldier dealing with difficulties."

Inspired by our work?

Our organization provides vital support to individuals facing significant challenges, but the need for our services far exceeds our current capacity. We are raising funds to build a new Resilience Center, a dedicated space where we can expand our programs and reach more people in crisis. Many individuals are currently on waiting lists, unable to access the therapeutic support they urgently require. Your donation will help us bridge this gap and provide a lifeline to those who desperately need it.
