Winning against the odds

Mental health challenges not only affect the lives of veterans and their families, but also increase the risk of unemployment, poverty, domestic violence, homelessness, and suicide.

According to a 2011 Straits-Troster study, nearly:

40%

of our returning troops suffer from depression, anxiety and PTSD

A pilot study done at Fort Carson, CO showed that equine therapy and learning resulted in:

24%
Reduced risk of violence by veterans
62%
Decreased rate of suicide

Our unique strengths-based approach to equine-therapy allows veterans to focus on the horse and their behavior instead of their own to create metaphors for real life relationships, obstacles, and challenges.

In the initial program, small group sessions are held weekly for four weeks. Individualized options are available. For those requiring more specialized care, we also offer smaller group and individual sessions. Contact Unbridled today to determine the best path for you.

Unbridled combines a collaborative approach with horses and a custom strengths-based curriculum. Although the initial sessions are conducted in small groups, the program is tailored to the unique needs of the individuals with opportunities for more in-depth and even one-on-one services.

Equine therapy has been a life-changing experience for me. The connection with the horses and the support from the staff have helped me overcome my challenges and find a renewed sense of purpose.
