One of the veterans in our program, Danny, is a veteran of the Vietnam War. He has a great sense of humor and is enjoying reconnecting with equines. Men like him are the reason we continue the Horse Wisdom for Heroes program despite being underfunded. The guys who exit the program describe how it changes so much for them.

So happy to hear they're doing well and we hope to see them soon!
Running into former clients "in the wild" while out and about in town is just wonderful. It's like being able to see former students again. Frank, an Army Vet, and Kent, an Air Force Vet, were a part of our Horse Wisdom for Heroes program last year. It was so gratifying to hear some of what's been going on in their lives since and how well they are doing. Happy Trails, Frank and Kent! We hope to see you soon! #clientselfie #veterans #veteransupport

Did you know one of our amazing volunteers, @hmhcounseling, was on the news? Spectrum News 13 did a spot on her at the ranch for their Everyday Heroes segment. We are so grateful for Jennifer, and for @news13 for their help in promoting us! https://lnkd.in/evgh4fHX #volunteerwork #volunteering #volunteerlife #nonprofitorganization #nonprofitlife #newsegment #onthenews #Firstnaturefoundation

Yesterday, we welcomed a new group of Veterans and men to the ranch to start Horse Wisdom for Heroes. It's always fun to see and hear their first observations and feelings towards the horses. Looking forward to the next 5 program sessions together! #veteransupport #leadershipskills #selfleadership #leadershipcoach

Todd, an Army Veteran, was such fun to have in our last cohort of Horse Wisdom for Heroes. He has a lively personality. He's also a Veteran who found a lot of value in the program. Todd is one of the many faces for whom we are hosting our Whiskey Dinner at the Ranch. The proceeds of the event and our raffle/auction all go to fund the Horse Wisdom for Heroes program. We want to fund the program for the next year! So, plan to join us on October 12 from 6-9pm for Whiskey Dinner at the Ranch. You'll get a welcome cocktail, 3-course meal, and whiskey tastings with each course, plus a custom Glencairn whiskey glass! Not to mention the serene 26-acre ranch views, sunset views, and selfies with horses. $150 per person $135 for Veterans Get your tickets at the link in bio. #veterans #supportveterans #veteransupport #horsehealing #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipskills #whiskeytasting

We welcomed our largest group to date for our Horses Healing Hearts this morning. We even had a couple of repeat attendees for the first time! Working with @helpnowofosceola to provide extra services to women who have survived domestic violence and are making big strides towards bettering themselves is so gratifying. We aim to give them tools to set and maintain boundaries, as well as a few moments of oeace and quiet that they so desperately need in the busyness of life. #survivors #domesticviolencesurvivor #horsehealing #naturehealing #leadershipskills #setboundaries
