8-Week Session
Thursdays, February 15th - April 4th at 12:00 - 1:00 pm
Equine-assisted learning for veterans provides emotional, cognitive, and physical benefits. Veterans who have participated in our Taking the Reins program at The Legacy Ranch have reported that their PTSD has been alleviated and that working with the horses has increased their self-esteem. Participants will take care of and bond with their own horse, as well as work together as a team to overcome challenges and develop better skills to deal with stress, tension and fear.
Horses are prey animals and must always be on the lookout for what is safe and what may threaten them in any environment they are in, which makes them hypervigilant and alert. When the horses are given the opportunity to feel safe and trusted, their behavior and demeanor changes. Veterans have stated that they feel the horses can understand what they are going through which creates an unbreakable bond.
