“I can’t believe it’s been a year since Nick began with Horses with Hearts!

I credit the team with the big changes I’ve seen in my son.  His mind was in non-stop overdrive, his body was struggling to grow strong and all he wanted to do was hide from the world. He’d retreat into a world of video games where he could hide and not have to deal with the ugliness of the world. 

Now this boy walks with purpose! He is a leader in his group and is the calming presence among them. Nick is able to make more eye contact with new people, stand up for himself and express his ideas and feelings. I do smile and cry at the sight of him changing and become a young man who has been show how to accept love and to give it to another being, equine and human.”
