    Jo Newton (left), an equine therapist with the Star Healing with Horses ranch, embraces Bobby Hoops, a retired Army sergeant first class diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder and a traumatic brain injury, and his son Roger Flores-Hoops, who was diagnosed with secondary PTSD, after an equine therapy session June 17, 2014, at the Star Healing with Horses ranch in Killeen, Texas. “It’s an amazing relationship to watch, especially when you have a child who feels broken or alone and they bond with the horse,” said Newton. “You can see the mending. The bond between them is a gift to see, and it energizes me when I get to see it.”
