Heroes & Horses

Our Heroes & Horses program is an 8 to 10 week program and riding will begin in about 5 or 6 weeks, providing the Veteran is ready and willing to ride. Riding is optional in this program as it's about much more then riding.

Movement of the horses is similar to a human's walking motion and this can strengthen specific muscle groups and increase balance that may not be provided with traditional physical therapy.

Horses are the mirrors to our souls. Bonding with a 1,000 lb loving animal can be emotionally satisfying and comforting. It improves in development of patience, emotional control, self discipline by way of repetition from start to finish of a visit with the horses and grooming. Interactions with horses also helps with anxiety. This is a proven method of therapy.
