Program Detail

Equine Empowered Experience

This is our introductory program- a 1 day workshop that introduces you to the horse, working on the ground, eye-to-eye. The magic of the horse brings you into mutual trust in the present moment. For many veterans, this is “life changing”.
This intro event is available to all veterans, whether their goal is to work in the equine industry or not. If you are a veteran living with PTSD, the experience of natural communication with a horse can be powerful and healing- and we welcome you to join us for the day.

These can include multi-day programs at various ranches or retreats that allow you to process what you are experiencing with the horses, and how that can be directed into your daily lives.
