As part of an ongoing partnership, Discovery, Inc.’s Animal Planet provided marketing and production resources to the corporate and philanthropic partners of the Washington International Horse Show.

For this video, I lead a film crew to capture and explain how the missions of two very different horse show partners — T.A.P.S. (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors of military families) and the Salamander Resort — were uniting to demonstrate the powerful, healing connection between humans and horses.

Capturing Salamander Resort’s unique Equispective therapy program was a distinct honor. The results were shown on the jumbo screen at D.C.’s Capital One Arena during the competition.

For the following year’s International Horse Show, I once again lead the production of a video highlighting one of the Show’s philanthropic partnerships — The Trust for the National Mall — and its drive to fund new stables for the U.S. Park Police’s mounted officers.
