Some horse people are bullies to horses. Those who trained them were most likely also bullies. One of the reasons we became Certified in Coaching with Horses was to change that very dangerous thinking. Horses want to help people. They want to teach us about our inner gifts and strengths.

We are so happy to announce that VEA is back at Dover Stables in Waterford! Mesa and Corazón are doing really well in their new herd and our new third horse coach, Nugget, is in the paddock next door.

He decided to surprise Dan today by hanging his head on Dan’s shoulder. 🥰

Just finished a one hour meeting. Turned the chair around to find my Office Assistant, Zeus, sleeping on the job. I’ll have to discuss this with him in his Annual Review.

🎄 This Holiday Season, We Remember Why 22 for 22 Matters 🎄

While the holidays are a time of joy for many, they can be especially hard for some of our veterans. The 22 for 22 campaign reminds us that connection, support, and community can save lives.

This season, we stand with veterans who may be struggling, and we recommit to being present, listening, and ensuring no one has to fight their battles alone.

The Veterans Outreach of Wisconsin, thanks you for helping them continue this mission of awareness, hope, and support.

As a reminder, we work with Veterans (non-riding), throughout the year including the winter!

ALSO we have a new horse who’s joined the team, Nugget! He is super sweet and big!

Spending time with a horse is good for your heart and soul. We are not a therapy program. Come as you are.

This morning I had the great pleasure of attending my first breakfast meeting with the South Suburban Chamber of Commerce.

I was invited by the Cudahy Tranquility Spa business owner, Christy Pierce. I enjoyed meeting wonderful business entrepreneurs and sharing what we do with Veterans Equine Alliance!

I even got to sit with Santa and wish for great health all around.

I hope to make more connections with Veteran-serving organizations. We work all year round, weather permitting.

Our horses are eager to work with more. Veterans!
