Hello ETMAC Members and Unit Commanders,

Please see the below flyer on a wonderful program for wounded and disabled Veterans.  STAR's Heroes & Horses program is uniquely challenging for veterans with disabilities facing issues like TBI, PTSD, amputation, sensory loss, or other conditions as a result of their service.  There is no cost at all to the veteran.  If any of you are interested, please contact Cathy Dolson.  Contact information is provided in the flyer below.  Please pass this along to your veteran organization members as well as members of your military units.  If the flyer does not come through on your computer let me know and I will try something else. Thanks so much!

Thank you,

[http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs180/1105007258826/img/638.jpg]An exceptional resource for veterans in the Knoxville area is available to you.


Partnering with horses to physically strengthen and mentally relax, STAR's Heroes & Horses program is uniquely challenging for veterans with disabilities facing issues like TBI, PTSD, amputation, sensory loss, or other conditions as a result of their service. In a peaceful farm setting on the Knox & Loudon county border, warriors experience hands-on interaction as they gain understanding and skills working with horses. Led by PATH Int'l. certified instructors, warriors are encouraged to reach beyond riding lessons to explore the distinct horse/human relationship.







[http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs180/1105007258826/img/629.jpg]Research shows that veterans who participate in equine assisted activities experience physical, emotional, and mental rewards such as strengthened core & muscle tone, improved balance & coordination, increased self-esteem, relaxation & stress relief.



Program costs are underwritten through the generosity of others, including Wounded Warrior Project, local corporations, and individual contributors.






[http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs180/1105007258826/img/630.jpg]With over 27 years of experience providing therapeutic experiences using horse related activities, we welcome your veterans.

In addition to participating, we offer the opportunity for veterans of all generations to volunteer. Volunteers in the Heroes & Horses program are fellow service men and women who understand the military mindset, thus providing a sense of camaraderie. All Veterans and Active Duty personnel are encouraged to volunteer - training is provided.


Call today to learn more about STAR & how we support veterans.
