The workers are part of Kaneohe Marine base's Wounded Warrior Company. The Marines are recovering from war injuries.

"I took shrapnel to my face," said U.S. Navy corpsman Devin Kelly.

He was riding a Humvee in Iraq when a roadside bomb blew it to bits. Kelly and his comrades are carving a quarter mile riding trail for Patty Silva. Her organization, Manawalea Riding Center, uses quarter horses for therapy rides for kids with physical and emotional disabilities.

"With our children what we do is that because a horse's gait replicates a human gate, every muscle that you and I use while we're just walking gets exercised just by sitting on a horse and letting a horse walk," Silva said.

The ranch needed a new trail. The Marines needed to feel needed again.

"Eventually you realize that you're going to live the rest of your life with some sort of physical disability, whether it's severe burns or an amputation or just the inability to run or participate in activities that you used to participate in," said Chris Marvin.

His group, The Mission Continues, brought together the Marines and the Riding Center. The trail project is just one the marines lined up for their rehab efforts. They have about ten others and lots of wounded warriors willing to work.

"It's very gratifying and it helps psychologically too," Kelly said.

By the end of May, the horses will start on the new trail built by Marines who were injured and are fighting to get their lives back.
