Soldiers and veterans transitioning out of combat mode heal with the help of horses.
Vincent Greco hadn’t relaxed in more than 40 years.
He’s suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder for the majority of his life, since serving in the Vietnam War from 1967-1968. After his tour Greco returned to Charleston, S.C., and spent years going through different therapies.
