Association Establishing Program for Wounded Veterans

Week of April 16, 2007

The North American Riding for the Handicapped Association, Inc. (NARHA) has announced it plans to develop a nationwide program for America's wounded servicemembers and veterans. The organization's new Horses For Heroes program would provide equine-assisted activities tailored specifically to the needs of wounded servicemembers and veterans such as therapeutic riding and driving. NARHA promotes equine-assisted activities at more than 700 member centers in the U.S. and Canada, helping individuals with special needs gain greater independence through their involvement with horses.
