In addition to the dangers faced during combat, military service members are at risk for mental health problems such as anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and substance abuse.
We are honored to partner with a local military installation to provide therapeutic riding services to active duty service members who are recovering from substance abuse issues, PTSD and other mental illnesses. Patients come from all branches of the military, from across the US and deployments around the world, to work on getting healthy again.
As part of their treatment, patients enjoy the chance to ride and care for a horse at NVTRP on our tranquil 17-acre property.
