NEW! BraveHearts Therapeutic Riding for Veterans Brave Hearts Riding The Brave HEART Program differs from other therapeutic riding programs for Veterans because it involves both the Military member, and the family. During their time at the farm, families spend quality time in the outdoors doing a variety of activities. From horseback riding to arts & crafts, the emphasis is on the family and strengthening bonds between family members. These experiences enhance the therapeutic process by bringing everyone together in a low-stress environment.
