MVECS

The MVECS (Military Veterans Equine Care Squad) program  was created so veterans could have an opportunity to interact with the Miracles in Motion therapy horses.  The experience with horses can provide a safe space and many calming benefits such as reducing stress and anxiety, improving self-esteem, self-awareness and empathy, and cultivating responsibility and confidence. The veteran’s family or partners can also be included in the program on a limited basis, if the veteran would like their support. After the session, there are further opportunities at Miracles in Motion for veterans to participate in chores, property maintenance, and activities such as side walking for Adaptive Riding and Hippotherapy sessions.

This 6-week program will match each veteran with a horse and, according to their abilities, each veteran will learn about the horse’s anatomy and behaviors, how to groom, how to do groundwork, how to tack a horse, and may include a few sessions of riding lessons. This program is limited to U.S. veterans and is grant funded.

Each class is 2 hours long and limited to 4 veterans.
