Horses for Heroes

Rocky Top Therapy Center is offering our military veterans and their families Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) and Therapeutic Riding through the Horses for Heroes program. In an effort to meet the needs and improve the lives of these heroes, Horses for Heroes partners mental health professionals with Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH) International certified riding instructors, incorporating every possible benefit the scenic Rocky Top Ranch setting has to offer.

Horses for Heroes utilizes EAP, an innovative form of therapy that incorporates horses and mental health professionals, to address many of the challenges that arise for service men and women who have suffered trauma in the line of duty, helping them to adjust physically and emotionally to their post-war lives.

Horses for Heroes operates under the direction of a distinguished advisory committee comprised of United States military veterans Joe Washam, Sal Adamski CWDP, Joel Chaverri, Loren Walden, Estrus Tucker and Jim Thompson. For additional information on Horses for Heroes, please contact Program Director Brooke Knox at (817) 379-5717.

This program is made possible by a grant from the Texas Veterans Commission Fund for Veterans' Assistance. The Fund for Veterans' Assistance provides grants to organizations serving veterans and their families.
