We offer equine-assisted mental health wellness programs for Veterans, active military, first responders and their families
Our heroes often suffer in silence. If you're struggling mentally and/or emotionally, Guiding Reins is here to help. We provide equine-assisted mental health wellness programs specifically designed to help veterans, military personnel, first responders, and their families at no cost to participants.
Guiding Reins specializes its programs to address the mental and emotional health challenges many Veterans, Military, First Responders, and their families experience.
Horses can uniquely sense human emotions. We incorporate the proven Eagala Model in our sessions, where participants learn stress-management and coping skills in a safe, judgement-free environment. This is a non-riding program. No previous horse experience required.
Our small-group sessions are completely confidential and protected. Each program is customized to meet you where you are, with the goal to empower you to feel mentally stronger and healthier.
