At Operation Equine, they understand that committing to a life of service often creates complex challenges that can leave Military Service Members, Veterans, and Emergency Responders feeling disconnected from their families and communities. They facilitate unique, therapeutic experiences with horses that lead their participants to a deeper understanding of themselves, empowering them to cultivate healthier relationships and feel better.
