Journey from Hope to Healing 

This is a story of the human spirit overcoming the ravages of a brain altered by horrible, traumatic experiences. With the help of his equine therapy horse, Johnny has learned to live again. Now, he seeks to find a way to help other veterans learn how to live happy and productive lives after being left helpless by their experiences in war. The outcome is a story of how a man driven to help others creates a place where veterans, severely mentally disturbed with PTSD, can recover. Here they can find their way back from horrible circumstances to living their lives again. Each veteran’s war story is different as is the manifestation of their post-traumatic mind. Every veteran in the story requires a different approach but all in a supportive and therapeutic environment that Johnny creates. Hopefully, this story provides a blueprint for caring for our veterans who return with invisible wounds that too often destroy their lives. It is a story of the drama and pain endured by these victims of PTSD and one of hope as they learn to live positive lives again.
