Ever wonder what really happens during equine-assisted therapy at Little Blessings?
Here is a behind-the-scenes look.
We operate under the EAGALA model, which means every session includes a licensed mental health therapist, an equine specialist, the horses, and the veteran. Those four components work together as one team inside the arena.
What you see in this video is shared with full permission. Our veterans choose to share their stories because they want to reach someone else who may be struggling. They know that if their courage helps even one veteran step forward, it is worth it.
This is not about riding. It is about movement, emotion, reflection, and connection. It is about changing the conversation around mental health and breaking the stigma that keeps so many silent.
If you are a veteran curious about what a session looks like, or if you want to learn more about how this works, reach out. Come take a tour and see the mission in motion.
