In the charity's own words
provide a safe environment where veterans/civilian can help care for old cavalry horses. By providing a safe environment, where they can help love and care for each other. Perhaps even help their old colleagues, maybe a couple of hours a week or more. That contact between horse and rider helps to rebuild confidence that helps to quiet the mind - to give a little bit of peace.
