Healing Hooves: Equine Therapy for First Responders

Yes, yes, that's something that's kind of been a thing and we've, we've used it several times, and it's something you know. Or you know, we had different sets of kids in different places and parts of the country, and just all these from the outside.
Ever thought about how horses can help heal trauma? In this episode of 'Rescue the Rescuer', Andy Kaufmann and Kristen Fitzgerald from Check Point One share their unique approach to helping first responders through equine therapy. Andy, a retired U.S. Army helicopter pilot, and Kristen, a lifelong horse trainer, combine their expertise to offer a fresh perspective on managing stress and trauma.

You'll hear firsthand accounts of how this therapy has transformed lives, turning trauma into growth. Whether you're a firefighter, police officer, or medical personnel, this episode offers valuable insights into how equine therapy can be a game-changer for mental health and well-being.
