Ellen Lee and Darlene Bell have both dedicated themselves to the organization called Dreams on Horseback. After losing her grandson to what she believes to be a PTSD related accident, Darlene Bell helped to create the Dreams on Horseback’s Military Connections Program in which horses are used to help heal veterans. For the past nine years, Ellen Lee has used horse-partnered learning programs to encourage at-risk high school youth to attend school, graduate, and give them the skills to get and keep a job after graduation.
