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.
