Heroes & Horses

STAR’s Heroes & Horses program is uniquely challenging for veterans with disabilities facing issues like TBI, PTSD, amputation, sensory loss or other conditions as a result of their service

​Partnering with horses provides a wealth of therapeutic benefits such as:

• Improving balance & coordination
• Strengthening core & muscle tone
• Increasing self-esteem and confidence
• Providing relaxation and stress relief
• Networking with other veterans
• Opportunity to learn something new
• Relationship Building
