The program Horses for Heroes is designed specifically for Veterans. Every volunteer and participant in this program shares the common experience of having served our country. For some of these individuals, visiting the Cheff Center is a weekly occurrence. For others, it’s a one-time adventure made possible by their current enrollment in a local military PTSD treatment program. For all of them, the Cheff Center represents a safe, non-judgmental environment where they can be around people who “get” where they are in their lives and what they are going through. Interaction with the horses, in the saddle or on the ground, is inherently therapeutic and offers participants the chance to do something fun, challenging, and “normal.”
“Horses for Heroes” requires that those volunteering within the program are service personnel or veterans themselves. If you or someone you know could benefit from this program, please give us a call today!

Our initial pilot program received rave reviews and classes are growing in size! Participants must be over the age of 60, have a medical diagnosis, and their doctor’s permission to participate.
