ES LA VIDA is stories of overcoming, of effort and hope, of how the relationship between man and horse exists, are possible and healthy both physically and mentally. Overcoming trauma, alleviating pain, recovering mobility – the power of horses over people is incredible and the bonds that are created are unbreakable. But what if it were a horse that also needed the help of a human being?
