Specifically additions to social media and dating applications.    Mr. Jason Matthew, Project Manager for IBM and Founder of Lead Me Not joins in on the discussion.

In this episode of Doc Talks, Doc Brian sits down with Meggan Hill-McQueeney.

Meggan is the current President and COO of BraveHearts Therapeutic Riding and Educational Center. In August 1993, while waiting to be discharged from the hospital after what she thought was a routine surgery, Marge Tautkus Gunnar learned that she had ovarian cancer. The ensuing months of chemotherapy were long, difficult, and completely life altering. During the course of her treatment, Marge not only derived courage and strength from the love and devotion of family and friends, but also from the deep and soulful connection she had to her Lipizzan stallion, Neapolitano IV Farica (Max). “One day when feeling particularly depressed, my sister bundled me into the car and we headed to the barn. When I entered Max’s stall, he looked at me with large soft eyes that seemed to question ‘Where have you been?’ I threw my arms around his neck, buried my face in his mane and sobbed. Max wrapped his neck around me and squeezed. I felt that connection between us was so powerful, I knew that Max was one of the reasons I had to get well. Although I didn’t know it at the time, it was then that the seed for BraveHearts was sown.”

 

Listen to this episode to hear how BraveHearts uses horses to help Vets learn PTSD coping skills inadvertently while training horses.
