Horses are these amazing spiritual animals to me.

They speak to my soul.

They lift me up when I'm down.

They bring me peace.

They remind me that I'm not alone.

That none of us are alone.

They connect to my heart.

And sometimes I feel like they're reading my mind.

And when you get into that sense of flow with them, it is.

There's no feeling like that better than that.

It's the best sound.

It's the best sound Mister.

I always feel like it was predestined.

You know, I think my parents used to always talk about it like it's in her DNA.

Like, um, just that horse human connection.

And we have.

Humans have such a history with horses.

And there's always been this draw between the two horses provide us this unconditional acceptance in regard, and they just see us for who we are and who we are in that moment.

And I think that's what horses brought to me from a young age.

Not that I understood that, but you understand that feeling and that feels amazing.

Equine therapy comes in many different shapes and sizes, but it's really being impacted by the relationship with the horse.

Here at Quantum, we have many different programs focusing on physical side.

Sometimes the mental health side, sometimes the social side.

There are so many magical moments that happen in the arena here at Quantum Leap, and some of those occur with our veterans who are healing from post-traumatic stress.

Quantum Leap Farm is healing.

It's really healing through connection with horses, with ourselves, with each other, with nature, and with the community and the world around us.

Slightly lean back with your right shoulder.

You're going to get a little bit of deeper stretch through your hip flexor.

Nice Mark.

Good job, Miss Ingrid.

And then, guys, slowly switch.

Take your left arm up and over.

So do you believe we've been working together for 13 years?

What do you think has changed?

What's the impact that this place has had on you in those 13 years?

What do the horses do for you, every Tuesday morning?

Find that stillness.

There's very much a spiritual connection I have with horses.

I feel like they ground me, and they remind me that there's something bigger and greater in this world.

You know, growing up, I learned they can teach you so much about life.

And that's what I get to do now is help people through these lessons that horses teach us.

But so much about, um, patience, hard work, determination, um, you know, balance, um, you know, teach you about healthy boundaries.

They tell you teach you about empathy, kindness, if they can give us this opportunity.

What if we took that into our life and made it more of a priority to show up and be that way?

Life is pretty fast paced and crazy and we all need to be seen more.

And I really feel like horses see us for who we are.

Nice.

There we go.

Okay.

Sorry.

Let me get out of your way.

Yeah, you're welcome.

It was a beautiful ride.

You guys just keep getting more and more in sync.

Remember, take that with you.

That stillness.

Yes.

Always that peace of mind.

Yeah.

Okay, bud, are you ready to warm up and get ready?

[music] More grass.

Come on.

More grass.

Come on.

It's always going to be there, bud.
