Mental health is definitely something that the majority of us fully neglect. It looks like something that should not be taken seriously because we are usually told that physical health is what matters the most. Mental health is still very abstract to a lot of people.

Another way how people are misled is through believing that going to a doctor will be a solution to a problem that they have, but indeed it takes much more than that to push through. This farm has established a way how to help people who are dealing with their “troubled minds”.

Ironstone Farm in Andover, MA, has a new breed of therapy that they’re rolling out to military veterans. For those who have served and need additional help, Ironstone Farm has a program meant for them, in which they use horses. The veterans are treated with therapy in the form of horseback riding.

The primary goal is to get the veterans to focus on horseback riding by putting their trust in these beautiful creatures. So far, it seems to have been very successful as the majority of the therapies that include horses. I swear that we are not talking in superlatives when we say that horses are ‘magical creatures’. I mean, do you need more proof?
