“They are much more than a “friend of man”: horses have played an unmistakable part in writing history, contributing to the progress of mankind with their labor and loyalty”, writes Andrea Bocelli, Italian Tenor and music icon. “There is a special mutual trust and an intense, positive feeling that runs on the invisible and vibrant thread of sensitivity shared by both parties, which cements the relationship between human beings and horses. This is also art, in its own way: the art of loving, of knowing how to listen, of caring for others. The art of relating to other living things. The art of trusting and walking gracefully through life in harmony with those around us and with what happens.”

“Seen Through Horses” is a peer-to-peer campaign composed of people, 80 nonprofits, mental health specialists, influencers, and businesses to increase awareness and public engagement, and raise funds to improve access to programs incorporating horses for mental health and personal growth.

“We are facing a mental health crisis and our vision is for every person living with mental health challenges to discover a path to healing through programs incorporating horses,” says Tyler Brklaich, Horses for Mental Health Co-Founder and Executive Producer. “At our foundation is our heart for the welfare of both horses and humans and how they can impact each other to heal and thrive in incredible ways.”

From May 1- 31, 2024, anyone can donate to horsesformentalhealth.org which will directly go to improve access to mental health and well-being programs. Don’t miss this opportunity to join Horses for Mental Health and its supporters to raise funds to continue this trailblazing work.

A special thank you to Hope Meadows Center for Healing & Equine Therapy & Andrea Bocelli for their collaborative support of the Seen Through Horses Campaign.
