Where the Horses Heal the Soul, a documentary film, was the vision of, and commissioned by George & Dr. Barbara Brightwell.
Their mission was, “to educate and inspire “movement” towards hope and to help others find a reason to “move their feet” to discover healing in their own lives. Children, adults and veterans who were put in the “no hope” box because of injuries, disabilities, or PTSD are empowered to push past boundaries and the labels of diagnoses when connecting with the horse and experiencing the healing motion of riding.
By telling the story of ROCK (Ride On Center for Kids) our goal is to produce, create and distribute a compelling and cinematically beautiful feature-length documentary film to demonstrate the positive, life changing impact and benefits of equine-assisted activities and therapies for persons of all ages with cognitive, developmental or physical disabilities, including veterans with combat related injuries and PTSD.” – George Brightwell, taken from “ROCK Documentary Film Mission Statement.”
