BraveHearts provides innovative equine-assisted services activities and therapies in support of children, adults, and our military Veterans. Located in Harvard and Poplar Grove, Illinois, BraveHearts has the largest horse program in the country for military Veterans; all Veterans receive services at no cost. Veteran participants may suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse, and other issues associated with a return from active service. Veterans learn horsemanship skills and techniques on how to gentle a horse. This grant supports BraveHearts’ Trail to Zero suicide prevention training ride at Windy Knoll Farm.
