| Horses for Heroes: |
 |
The NARHA Horses for Heroes program is specifically designed for wounded military service personnel. Through the unique power of the horse, we are able to help our soldiers and veterans physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually through activities such as therapeutic riding and equine facilitated psychotherapy and learning. It is a wonderful opportunity for us to give back to those who have given so much for our country.

| Therapeutic Riding: |
 |
Therapeutic riding sessions are designed and implemented for each individual client based on their specific needs. Riding sessions include various activities to help improve physical abilities of each rider, and each rider is paired with the appropriate horse based on their riding skills, and the horse’s physical attributes. Therapeutic riding can help increase range of motion in joints; improve balance and posture; provide a sense of accomplishment, increase self-confidence and promote social interaction. |
|
| Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy and Learning:
Sessions include individuals, families and groups. Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy is an experiential form of treatment that involves ground-based activities utilizing a team approach. Activities can include, but are not limited to handling, grooming, longeing, driving, and vaulting. The team consists of the client, horse, licensed mental health professional, and a NARHA certified instructor/equine specialist.
