Program
Horses Helping Heroes
Our Horses Helping Heroes program specifically addresses the rehabilitative needs of service men and women recovering from injuries sustained in the line of duty, such as traumatic brain injuries, amputation, anxiety, and PTSD. By learning the langauge of horses and how horses simplify the problem-solving process, veterans have the opportunity to learn the art of relationships, goal setting, creative thiking, and decision making. The specific objectives of the sessions vary based on each participant's individual needs. We have opportunities for individual and group lessons where veterans will learn and develop horsemanship and riding skills. Active and retired service members may also choose to be involved in caring for our therapy horses as volunteers.
