The program we offer is a 10-day pack trip program out to the backcountry, out to the Willmore area. In terms of the benefits, just being around horses allows you to be selfless. You have more than yourself to worry about. You also have your animal. There's a partnership between the veteran or first responder and the animal.
There's also being in nature. It's been proven that nature therapy is actually a modality of psychological care. That, coupled with horse equine therapy, speaks volumes to how well it helps veterans and first responders dealing with PTSD and other stresses.
