PATH Int'l Equine Services for Heroes (formerly NARHA Horse for Heroes)Military veterans who return from combat can have physical and mental conditions that can cause depression and anxiety and lead to substance abuse and other serious issues while affecting their relationships with family and friends. A unique program called PATH Equine Services for Heroes is using the healing power of the horse to help these veterans. In 2010, Central Kentucky riding for Hope, in Lexington, KY began a Horses for Heroes program. The objective of this program is to enhance outcomes and improve quality of life for veterans and their families post deployment by providing equine assisted activities. Veterans will work with a horse to develop skills that will help them: transition back to community, family and life; develop skills for interpersonal relationships; accept physiological changes; identify worldview changes; develop and achieve life goals. Equine assisted activities and therapies offered at CKRH include: therapeutic horsemanship (non-mounted); therapeutic riding (mounted); psycho-educational (non-mounted); psychotherapy (non-mounted); therapeutic carriage driving. Denise Spittler, CKRH Program Director says “Our focus is to develop programs that help veterans transition back into the community, family and work-place. We also focus on helping the family during this transition. Simply said ‘just getting back to living’.” |
