The Equine-Assisted Trauma work involves volunteer counselors, helpers, and horses. We work with veterans, and other folks suffering from trauma, by using horses. How you might ask…

Building the Barn in 2022
We spent most of Spring to Autumn of 2022 building the barn and fencing in the fields where the alpaca and horses live. Over the winter, we brought water and electricity to those barns. The future plans include extending that existing structure with more horse stalls and a riding arena. Check out the photos below to watch the progress.
