VICTORY CENTER
2024 Annual REPORT
"Your movements have to match the horse's movements, you just become part of this thing. When I lost focus, the horse felt it. The most important thing is that this attention doesn’t tire you. It’s energy that relaxes you. I would spend my only day off interacting with a horse"
VIKTOR STOROZHENKO, A FORMER ACTOR
AND MILITARY SERVANT
"This is my first experience with horses, and I would repeat it. You can feel the energy of the horse, and my mood has improved significantly. I feel like horses heal!"
ARTEM, VETERAN, EX-POW
“I enjoyed feeding the pony. One of them was shy,
but when I offered him a carrot, he slowly
approached me and took it”

ABOUT VICTORY CENTER
Founded in 2023, our center offers post-rehabilitation adaptation, provides preventive psychotherapy, and uses mindfulness and decompression as effective tools for alleviating combat stress and strengthening resilience for those who have experienced war conflicts. We create a safe environment where individuals can restore mental harmony, as well as find support and community. Through the program and equine partners, we established a pathway to physical and mental healing, helping vulnerable groups of the population rediscover joy and meaning in their lives.
