“The time spent with Bonnie makes me feel productive again.  She has needed a lot of work and the challenge of working with her has been, well, challenging.  And it’s good to be challenged again. I always look forward to working with her or even spending time with her whether or not I’m working with her that day.”  

HORSES
helpING VETERANS HEAL

“As a veteran that deals with PTSD, depression, and anxiety, High & Mighty is just what I need. Being a part of the farm for over a year has given me a safe place to be, and connect with the horses that bring many of my symptoms to a manageable level. Horses feel everything we are going through. The level of calmness I get when doing a simple task like brushing them is amazing. Laura and the rest of the staff have been so caring and comforting to me in my journey. They treat me with kindness, and respect, making me feel like I’m part of a family again. Thank you to all who help keep this program running for veterans.”
