I’ve been contacted by the Military Channel to publicize a show that will be airing this Sunday, September 19th at 10pm called Horse Sense and Soldiers. I love animals and I know that they can sometimes help a person find perspective in their lives, so I am happy to direct you to the trailer for the show.
In the newest special in Military Channel’s Coming Home initiative, original “horse whisperer” and American renaissance cowboy Monty Roberts works with three veterans of the Iraq war, each of whom suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The result is nothing short of magic. (press release)

CJ-
I have read about this and seen something similar at a ranch in AZ. Good for those guys!

Watched this and find it hard to believe that PTSD from many years ago was healed “After four transformational days” and that they were ultimately better at understanding “how to control their anger, confront painful memories, cope with real-life situations and move on with their lives and relationships.” PTSD doesn’t heal over night and for them to make believe that a horse whisper fixed everything in 4 days or that their lives improved so significantly in 4 days is absolutely ludicrous! What did the horse whisper really want from making this show? As I am sure the veterans were not compensated for this so it is more like explotation for the gain of one person, the horse whisper. Very sad that someone would exploit those that have already served our country and still have issues from doing so. What kind of person would exploit our veterans like that for personal gain? Disgusting.
