Since August 2020 our program, Huron Heroes & Horses for Veterans living with PTSD, and using our own Mental Health Therapy Model has been giving hope to our U.S. Military Veterans who have given each of us so much.
In the Fall of 2025, Pegasus Springs Behavioral Health became a contracted VACCN provider (Veterans Administration Community Care Network)
Contact your local county Veterans Affairs Coordinator, or VA Therapist to initiate your appointment to be referred to us for therapy.
There is no charge to you or your family for our service if you are in the VA Medical System.
​
Thank You for your sacrifice in service to our Country
Points to Consider for our Veterans:
-
Our veterans are never charged for the services we provide them and their families. (spouse & family services later this summer)
-
Safe, private, peaceful environment with horses, a mental health specialist, and equine specialist.
​
-
Sessions are one hour, usually with up to five return visits.
-
Family sessions are available.
-
Group therapy is more productive, while some individuals will want a private session.
-
Other activities for bonding & decompressing can be arranged after a group workshop.
-
Opportunities are available for our vets to volunteer and continue coming to the farm.
-
“When I’m with the horses, the suicidal thoughts go away.”
-
Non-traditional setting that doesn’t feel like “therapy”.
-
Herd dynamics help clients understand their own lives.
-
The horse's reactions provide unbiased and real time feedback.
-
All sessions work from the ground (unmounted).
-
The client tends to find their own path to healing with the aid of the horses and specialists.
