$4,500 Goal

We provide therapeutic services to Veterans, first responders and their families while partnering with horses to build inner strength, belonging, and purpose.

Donate $100 to provide 1 group session to support a Veteran or first responder! 

Army Nurse Veteran and certified Coach, Kathy Friedrich facilitates group and one-on-one sessions tailored to help participants reach their personal goals while partnering with horses.

Utilizing a holistic approach, we address the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual components of health—recognizing they are all connected. 

"Yesterday had a PROFOUND impact on me, already from day one. I spent much of the evening processing it. It was intense at times, but the pain and triggers were softened and made manageable by the horses, surroundings, steps, observations, boundaries… Thank you for your passion and dedication to healing and wholeness and for starting this experience to touch humans who will benefit from it.” ~Veteran.

A Path to Well-Being at No-Cost to Veterans and First Responders

In a world filled with chaos and trauma, horses help participants embrace the present moment and release past burdens and future worries. Few things can compare to a 1,200-pound horse to command your presence. They're the ultimate inspiration for mindfulness—being fully present, aware, and attuned to the moment. This openness allows participants to see new possibilities for their future, and with support from the team and other participants they take actions to get there.

Participants discover the power of effective communication and teamwork to gain deep insights into how their actions affect others and achievement of their personal goals. As they adjust, the horses' immediate response provides invaluable, life-altering revelations. 

Let's work together to support our Veteran and first responder communities and their families. 

You can be part of the transformation by donating today and making a meaningful difference. Our goal is to raise $4,500 to help provide group sessions to 8 Veterans or first responders.
