Mission Statement
Provide animal assisted therapy with rescue horses and dogs to veterans and active duty military seeking stress reduction and treatment for symptoms of PTSD.
Description
We are a 501(c)3 in our 4th year of practice. We provide therapeutic riding, horse handling, canine agility, adoption, and agility, and EAGALA programs to veterans and active duty military. We operate in two facilities in NY serving Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties and NYC tri state area. Cameron is our new facility and the dogs who have been rescued from NC kill shelters and trained reside in NC. OUr horses are up to speed in NC and we serve active duty and veterans as our programs are growing. Funding sources are very limited so we depend heavily on our volunteers to sustain horse and dog training and help with farm and administrative work.
