RIDING FREEDOM'S TRAIL 

Picture

AMERICA THE BRAVE

The Wild Heart Mustangs™ logo features a strong symbol of something we feel passionate about - the American flag. The freedom that Americans enjoy has never been free. It's been defended and preserved by countless military men and women who've given their time, energy, strength, heart  - and sometimes their lives -  in the name of freedom.

This page is dedicated to those in the military now, and in the past, and to the families who watched, waited and prayed for the safety of their loved ones.  Let us never forget those who have served this great country.  Thank you ALL for your service! 


Picture

On this page, you'll find articles about honor, health and healing for the heroes among us, with a section of resources that we hope will help and inspire you. If you have questions that aren't answered here, please let us know and we'll do our best to assist you.

EQUINE THERAPY- The purpose of animal assisted therapy is to provide interventions that would not be possible with only a human provider. Equine assisted Psychotherapy utilizes the horse's responsive nature as a therapy tool.  They are naturally curious, have individual personalities, and mirror human behavior. The structure of  provides a unique atmosphere for the client to work through personal challenges. EAP provides clients with in-the-moment experiences to learn how to manage current situations and future challenges with a focus on personal strengths and resources. In this experiential based therapy it is by interacting with the horse that the Veteran gains greater insight into themselves through experiencing natural consequences, successes, and mistakes.  There is something to be learned at every step of the process. 

NUTRITION AND HEALTHY COOKING- Learn how what you eat affects your energy, thinking, libido, and your overall health and well being. Learn how to cook what you grow. 

REFLEXOLOGY- Application of pressure to the feet and hands with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion. it is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands, with the premise that such work affects a physical change to the body. 

EXERCISE-Builds strength, confidence and improves your mood.
​

YOGA- Body-based work, such as yoga, increases a sense of awareness, safety and mastery over one's body while building skills to effectively interpret and tolerate physiological and affective states. 

JOB INTERNSHIP- Resume writing training, Interview training, Coaching, Job internship opportunities. 

HYPNOTHERAPY-Used to create subconscious change in a patient in the form of new responses, thoughts, attitudes, behaviors or feelings. 

HORTICULTURE THERAPY-Learn to grow your food organically, and reduce stress and anxiety. Go beyond sustainability to integrate and connect people with their natural world. 

FLY TYING AND FLY FISHING-  "It was something you could go through and for a couple hours you could forget what you've been going through and just refocus your energy."

YOGA AS AN ALTERNATIVE THERAPY FOR VETERANS
DDP Yoga

Arthur Boorman was a disabled veteran of the Gulf War for 15 years, and was told by his doctors that he would never be able to walk on his own, ever again.

He stumbled upon an article about Diamond Dallas Page doing Yoga and decided to give it a try -- he couldn't do traditional, higher impact exercise, so he tried DDP YOGA and sent an email to Dallas telling him his story.

Dallas was so moved by his story, he began emailing and speaking on the phone with Arthur throughout his journey - he encouraged Arthur to keep going and to believe that anything was possible. Even though doctors told him walking would never happen, Arthur was persistent. He fell many times, but kept going.

Arthur was getting stronger rapidly, and he was losing weight at an incredible rate! Because of DDP's specialized workout, he gained tremendous balance and flexibility -- which gave him hope that maybe someday, he'd be able to walk again.


His story is proof, that we cannot place limits on what we are capable of doing, because we often do not know our own potential. Niether Arthur, nor Dallas knew what he would go on to accomplish, but this video speaks for itself. In less than a year, Arthur completely transformed his life. If only he had known what he was capable of, 15 years earlier.
Do not waste any time thinking you are stuck - you can take control over your life, and change it faster than you might think. 

Hopefully this story can inspire you to follow your dreams - whatever they may be.
Anything is Possible!
