We believe that animals have the power to heal, but they first have to be protected from violence themselves. At TherapyWorks, we pair rescued horses with abused children to help the horses and the children heal each other and learn to trust again.
Children raised in violent homes typically see violence against animals. Being raised with violence they often grow up to see violence as normal. Violated children become violent adults or marry violent partners. Child abuse, domestic violence and violence against animals often live in the same house.
By pairing children from violent homes with rescued horses we fight to overcome the violent patterns these children have learned and to teach them to have respect for all living things. This not only helps them overcome their own experience of violence but helps them to avoid perpetuating it. In helping us save the horses the children save themselves.
Save two lives with one vote - a horse and a child. Your donations will help us further this most worthy cause.
