Equest has provided EAAT to children and adults with diverse needs for 35 years.

When these warriors successfully navigate the transition from the military to civilian life, they make our community stronger. To help them achieve this, Equest Hooves for Heroes aims to improve overall wellness by leveraging the powerful bond between horses and humans. But within that relationship lies the answer to many of life's challenges...just ask anyone who has ever loved a horse.

Research shows that equine-assisted counseling can help reduce anxiety, increase self-awareness, foster trust, and support personal growth.
