Hugs n Horses

Hugs-n-Horses equine therapy program helps children and adults deal with their feelings  after suffering a tragic loss due to the death of a law enforcement officer.

Through interaction with the horse and certified professionals, participants work through the seven steps of grief. Various activities with the horses help patients conquer fear and anxiety.

No previous horse or horseback riding experience is necessary in order for survivors to fully participate in this program.
