A former drug addict has revealed how horses have helped him to turn his life around.
Steven Coyle became addicted to alcohol and drugs as a teenager while living in the West Denton area of Newcastle. The 44-year-old spent time in prison, committed crimes and slept on the streets.
When his best friend died in 2016, it gave Steven the shock he needed to ask for help and he spent a year in rehab in Sheffield.
