This Veteran’s Unmounted Horsemanship and Donkey Group offers a unique opportunity for Veterans to connect with horses and donkeys through ground-based interactions at Operation Horses Heal. In this supportive program, participants engage in horsemanship and donkey-handling skills focused entirely on unmounted activities, allowing them to experience the connection and calm these animals bring without the need to ride.

Through hands-on learning, Veterans gain insights into equine behavior, practice handling techniques, and build trust with their equine partners. Horses and donkeys each bring distinct qualities to the experience, with donkeys offering a calm, steady presence and horses a sensitive, responsive energy—together providing a diverse and enriching experience. Open to all experience levels, this group fosters personal growth and community support, creating an environment that encourages confidence, reduces stress, and nurtures a renewed sense of purpose and connection with both nature and fellow Veterans.
