We are looking for partners and sponsors to provide therapeutic equine services to Veterans, service members, special needs adults and children, and people in recovery from substance abuse. Since 2015, We have been working diligently to have the proper foundation for this work, such as a facility with a barn and arena, horses that have the proper temperament, insurance coverage and safety protocols, and qualified staff that are certified by PATH international, the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship. Our staff are certified through PATH as Equine Specialists in Mental Health and Learning.
