First Responder Programs
Our First Responder Programs help our heroes connect with horses and nature to take them away from their daily stresses. This gives first responders time to reflect and perform mental self-care.
Our therapeutic classes give them the energy to return to work invigorated, ready to heal, support, and protect our communities.
