I've been a horse lover since I was a child, but only as an adult did I realize the healing power of horses for those in need. I spent nearly ten years at REACH Therapeutic Riding Center in Waco providing horsemanship and riding lessons for children and adults with physical, cognitive, mental or emotional challenges. During my tenure there, I had the privilege of working with veterans and running a program called Horses for Warriors. As the daughter of a WWII veteran, being able to give back to those who have given so much resonated in me. When my husband and I moved to Weatherford, I wanted to offer that same opportunity to veterans in north central Texas.Equines for the Front Lines came about in the summer of 2021 with the help of four local veterans helping me develop the program. Based on the successful program in Waco, we have weekly meetings with a meal, fellowship and horse time.
