Programs: Veterans R&R has two very successful programs. We launched our R&R Outdoors program in 2014 and have provided countless Outdoor events to 100's of Veterans and Military Families providing them the R&R (Release & Relief) they needed. Through our fun activities we are giving veterans the confidence to get out of their houses, develop new key civilian and veteran relationships, ample opportunities for camaraderie and the freedom to go about their lives as they choose. This program has been so successful that TLS Veterans has created a TLS Veterans Outdoors Program. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In 2015 Veterans R&R decided to take on a new approach to provide a daily outlet for Veterans Operation Wild Horse (OWH) provides a safe community where Veterans, Active-Duty Military, and Families can build a significant Mustang/human bond that allows barriers to fall, communication to enhance, and trust to form. This approach has time and time again resulted in the formation of life-changing partnerships via: Mustang Assisted Learning (MAL), Mustang Assisted Activities (MAA), Military Service Member and Veteran Reintegration (MSMVR), Understanding Mustang Human Relationship (UMHR), and Mustang Therapeutic Riding (MTR).
