After surviving a traumatic brain injury as a teenager, Anna Baigent and her mum Maria turned to horses as a source of healing.
What began as personal therapy and recovery has grown into AnnaRehab: an equine therapy centre based in rural Miranda - in Thames - that's quietly transforming lives of local tamariki.
Anna - now in her twenties and living with permanent brain injury works with local kids who are struggling with anxiety, trauma and behavioural challenges.
To do this she retrains retired racehorses to become therapy animals, which gives them a second lease of life.
Anna and Maria speak with Kathryn from their farm in Miranda.
