ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, N.C. — A farm in Madison developed a program to help rescued horses and veterans with PTSD by working together. The horses at Flurry's Hope are all blind.

"We'll make the last part of their lives as good as we can make it. And if they want to take the time to help a human through some pretty tough times of their own, then it's a good trade off," Michael Kennedy the manager of Flurry's Hope said. 

J. Nohlburg is a Gulf War veteran. He says talking to people about his PTSD is difficult and Jake, one of the horses, made that easier. 

"I didn't really recognize it at the time, but I didn't really like being around people. I've learned from this guy, primarily, and the rest of the herd how to accept people more and to accept them as they are and overlook their faults," Nohlburg said. 

Nohlburg says he wants to encourage other veterans to get involved. 

"They give back so much more than we give them, and that's why I think anyone, especially a vet that needs some help, needs some reassurance, needs a little self-confidence, needs a little friendship, this is the place for them to come," he said. 

Flurry's Hope says it is currently working with just over 20 veterans.
