WHTR provides equine facilitated activities to Veterans and Active-Duty service members who suffer from TBI and PTSD. WHTR provides services at no cost to the veteran or active duty service member solely relaying on donations, sponsorships, and grants. Our goal at WHTR is to help those we serve learn how to reform relationships and overcome negative outcomes resulting from PTSD and TBI in a safe, compassionate, and stigma free environment. Our horse partners do most of the healing work for our veteran and active duty services members. Our role at WHTR is to nurture our horse partners by providing them a safe, clean, and enjoyable environment so they can continue supporting the healing process for their veteran partners.
