A for purpose organization created for veteran's by a veteran
Here at HOOVES, we are driven by a single goal; to do our part in rescuing horses and enlisting them to help service men and women turn Post Traumatic STRESS into Post Traumatic GROWTH, so they can heal, regain control and return to the life they fought to protect.
Our decision making process is informed by comprehensive empirical studies and high quality data evaluation. We strive to build productive relationships and make a positive impact with all of our pursuits.
