Veterans
What is the Veterans Program?
Our Veterans Program offers equine-assisted activities and therapy options aimed at providing benefits for humans. We support the men and women serving our country by helping them unwind with our horses in a calm, supportive environment (Stress Relief Program), improve teamwork activities or life adjustment skills (Equine Assisted Learning Program), and heal combat-related injuries and emotional trauma (Equine Assisted Psychotherapy Program). By collaborating with horses, licensed mental health therapists, and trained equine specialists, veterans can learn new tools to help resolve barriers to a happier, more fulfilled life.
Program Details
The relationship between horses and soldiers goes back thousands of years. Horses’ survival instincts and their ability to read both conscious and subconscious cues make them ideal companions for individuals serving their country.
Our Veteran’s Program helps to rekindle this relationship, promoting focus and awareness.
Sensitive and responsive, horses allow individuals to practice communicating with focused intention and leadership. With both riding and non-riding options available, participants learn to be assertive without bullying, and to be compassionate without becoming a victim.
