Memorial Day is a time to remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.
As we reflect on that sacrifice, we are also reminded of the importance of supporting veterans as they navigate life after service. Through our work, we have the privilege of witnessing the unique bond between horses and veterans and the meaningful growth, connection and resilience that can emerge through that partnership.
Research continues to show the impact horses can have in helping veterans reconnect with safety, trust and presence. We are grateful to witness that work firsthand. 🇺🇸🐴
A study by Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers has shown that military veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), who participated in a program caring for horses, experienced an improved mental outlook and easing of symptoms.
