At Veterans Equine Trail Services (VETS), our mission is simple yet powerful: to provide life-changing equine therapy and outreach at no cost to Veterans, retired, disabled, and currently serving members of the Armed Forces, as well as their families. We create a safe and supportive environment where those who have selflessly served our nation can experience healing, renewal, and connection—without the burden of financial stress.

Through the unique bond between humans and horses, equine therapy helps veterans in profound ways:

• Mental Health: Horses offer a calming presence that reduces anxiety, alleviates symptoms of PTSD, and promotes mindfulness.

• Physical Recovery: Equine activities enhance core strength, balance, and mobility, supporting physical rehabilitation in a dynamic and engaging way.

• Emotional Well-Being: Working with horses fosters trust, builds confidence, and provides a sense of purpose—key elements in overcoming isolation and reconnecting with life.

Operated entirely by dedicated volunteers, every dollar donated directly supports these transformative programs.

As we look to 2025, we are more determined than ever to grow our impact. This year, we are embarking on a mission to be more visible and active in our communities. Through expanded outreach efforts, awareness campaigns, and new events, we aim to welcome even more veterans and their families to experience the healing power of horses.

Whether you’re a veteran seeking support, a volunteer ready to make a difference, or a donor looking to invest in a worthy cause, join us as we take the reins toward a brighter future for our heroes. Together, we can turn trails into journeys of hope and healing.

Follow us, support us, and share our mission—because every veteran deserves a path to renewal.
