Our Mission
When working with horses using undue force will be met with resistance, but treating a horse with respect and gentleness will result in compliance.
Mark Rashid. (2011). Horses Never Lie, 2nd Edition. Skyhorse Publishing, Inc.
Our Values
Horses rely on the herd and their relationship with one another to keep them all safe. Treating a horse with compassion and understanding allows the horse to feel safe and it will then transfer this awareness to the herd.
Equine-assisted therapy is successful because it is a way for veterans to connect with themselves, strengthen their abilities and relationships, and have more confidence in participating in society.
