Wounded Warriors Connect Through Quiet Peace of Horses
TOANO, Va., Nov. 7, 2019 -- Navy veteran Jessenia Smith and her husband Truitt experienced the healing nature of caring for horses at a Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) equine therapy workshop. Their love for animals enhanced the workshop's impact and helped them interact with other veterans.
"It was beneficial for both of us," Jessenia said. "With this type of equine therapy, you groom and listen to the horse and also work together as a team."
Jessenia explained that she and Truitt, also a Navy veteran, had a chance to meet other warriors and share how they feel about their place in the world. "Anything with Wounded Warrior Project is not any pressure. You share if you want to share. You're in a safe zone with other like-minded people who support you, and they support you 100%."
