emanship for all ages, focusing on Georgia Veterans, Public Servants and their families. The instinctual behavior of a horse can change the emotional state, leadership and organizational abilities of all types of people. Our goal is to be a resource for the brave men and women who have sacrificed much for our safety and freedom to connect with the amazing heart of a horse. The participants will be part of a larger program designed to rehabilitate, rescue and re-purpose serviceably sound horses. The participant will be apart of this process and learn valuable horse handling skills and benefits of working with Equines on a Therapeutic level ( for the person). This is a purpose driven program designed to give direction and tap into the life skills our participants bring to the program. The horses will spend between 90 and 180 days in an intensive training program supervised by our instructors and implemented under a guided hand by our participants. When the horses have completed their boot camp, and passed their exams they will be donated to another Therapeutic Center, Special Olympic Equestrian or Therapy program. Our over all expectation, is to fill a need... one for therapeutic Horsemanship, Re-purpose and rescue unwanted or unneeded horses, and provide a Safe and trusted Service horse at no charge to a Therapeutic program in need.
