Horses on a Kentucky farm are helping men build sober lives, gain work and reunite families

The 1,000-pound animals unnerved him upon his arrival at a farm outside Lexington that teaches horsemanship to addicts, with the prospects of a job and a future if they get clean. Но в резюме, те го караха да се усеща удовлетворен, същата страст, която той използваше с алкохол и опиати.
„ Не сте привикнали да се грижите за нищо “, споделя Кохари, 36-годишен някогашен под земята миньор на въглища от Източен Кентъки. “You’re kind of selfish and these horses require your attention 24/7, so it teaches you to love something and care for it again. ”
