Months After Starting 1,000-Mile Horse Riding Mission for a Noble Cause, Man Takes the Next Step in This Adventure

The army in every country is responsible for protecting the borders and making sure the citizens are safe and sound and can sleep peacefully because of their sacrifices. Unfortunately, these sacrifices don’t get recognized as they rightly should. As a result, after they leave the service, army veterans are severely mistreated. An equestrian and an army veteran himself, Jeremy Robinson has taken the responsibility to change this once and for all.

Mounting his horse, Robinson has set out on a journey to save the world, one gallop at a time. He has undertaken a journey that is a 1,000-miles long, and he has dedicated it to a sensitive cause that he wholeheartedly believes in. His goals are completely selfless and truly commendable.

Equestrian and army veteran off to change the world

Veterans Day, which falls on November 11 every year, is a national holiday in the United States of America. It is a day meant to pay tribute to the army veterans and fallen heroes who sacrificed themselves for the greater good. Veterans Day 2022 witnessed a great man embarking on a journey to make the world a better place for veterans. Jeremy Robinson’s mission began in East Texas when he mounted his aptly named horse, Trooper, and began the 1,000-mile ride.

Robinson aims to end this ride in Capitol, Austin. Jeremy Robinson served in the Texas Army National Guard from 2003 through 2009. He was deployed to dangerous war zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan as a part of the 36th Infantry Division. After leaving the army, he soon realized a growing problem among his fellow veterans- homelessness. His solution to this problem is simple. According to Waco Tribune-Herald, Robinson said, “I want to have a self-sustaining ranch for veterans, where they can grow crops and raise animals and learn vocational skills.”

Robinson, through his arduous act, wants to raise awareness as well as collect donations for his fledging non-profit. He added, “We’ll have equine therapy horses. The ranch will invite successful veteran entrepreneurs to mentor other veterans.” Jeremy aims to make his fellow veterans self-sufficient and ensure they can call a place their home. This is not the first time that somebody has undertaken a long journey for awareness and charity.

A 1,200-kilometre ride for mental health awareness

Last month, the co-founder of a rescue charity by the name ‘Hope Reins’ commenced a challenging 1,200-kilometre (roughly 746 miles) Ride for Hope from Gympie to Longreach. On her 50th birthday, Kylie Read decided to raise money and spread awareness about mental health charities. She is an equine therapy expert, and while she is not the fondest of riding horses, she has loved spending time with the majestic creatures since she was little.

This makes the task she undertook even more incredible. Read told ABC News, “From the age of two to 16, I was on a horse’s back every day and I actually think I’m probably here because of the horses that I’ve had in my life.” She might not prefer to ride them, but she loves spending her days with the horses, solving their problems, and ensuring they have a good home. Kylie has opened up a center where humans and horses can co-exist and heal from their trauma and resolve other mental health problems.
