🐴🇺🇸 Operation HorsePower – A New Group, A New Journey!

On October 14th, we kicked off another 6-week Operation HorsePower program, and we couldn't be more excited to welcome 10 incredible men!

What makes this group especially meaningful? Four of these gentlemen are over 80 years old, and several others are in their late 70s! From military veterans to retired police officers, these are men who have spent their lives serving others.

Different eras. Same mission. A lifetime of service.

Now it's our turn to give something back to them. ❤️

Over the next six weeks, we'll be working alongside our horses, focusing on nervous system regulation, connection, and healing. Because no matter your age, there is always room to learn, grow, and find a little more peace.

And here's something we want everyone to know: There is NEVER a charge for these men to participate. Not now. Not ever.

Your donations make programs like Operation HorsePower possible. Every gift helps us give back to those who have given so much of themselves in service to others.

Thank you for helping us make this happen!

🎶 Want to help us continue this work? Join us on November 7th for our 2nd Annual Common Ground Benefit Concert! Enjoy a great evening while supporting programs like Operation HorsePower.

🐴💙 A Different Kind of Day for Those Who Serve and Protect.

We had the privilege of welcoming officers and detectives from the Montgomery County Police Department’s Child S*x Crimes Unit to Common Ground for a day of nervous system regulation, connection, and team building.

We explored how stress affects the nervous system and practical tools to help bring it back into regulation. Then it was time to put some of that learning into practice with our horses! There was plenty of teamwork, discovery, and laughter along the way.

We have tremendous respect for the work these officers and detectives do every day, and it was an honor to give them some time to focus on themselves.

And the best part? They're coming back for a six-week program! We'll continue building on what we started, offering more tools for nervous system regulation and trauma healing alongside our amazing horses.

Thank you for trusting us with your team! 💙🐴
