Horses for Heroes

The H4H program at Windrush helps veterans with challenges including:
  • Head & Spinal Cord Injuries
  • Amputation (both upper and lower limb)
  • Auditory & Visual Impairments)
  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Benefits include:

  • Normalized muscle tone
  • Increased range of motion
  • Builds confidence and self-esteem
  • Develops strength, coordination and fine/gross motor skills
  • Instills patience and emotional control
  • increases concentration and self awareness

In addition to therapeutic riding, there are un-mounted activities and volunteer opportunities working with the horses that are also available to veterans.
