Cowboy Clinics & Equine-Assisted Activities

As a cornerstone of our Veteran Wellness Program, our Cowboy Clinics and Equine-Assisted Activities provide veterans with the opportunity to reconnect through meaningful, hands-on experiences in a supportive ranch environment. Led by experienced trainer Jodi Hedrick, participants learn authentic cowboy skills—including horseback riding, groundwork, roping, cattle handling, branding demonstrations, and livestock management—while building confidence, resilience, and practical life skills. Working alongside horses and participating in the daily rhythm of ranch life fosters teamwork, camaraderie, and a renewed sense of purpose, creating opportunities for connection with fellow veterans and the agricultural community. Whether participants are discovering a new passion or returning to a familiar way of life, our program offers a place to learn, grow, serve, and belong. No prior horse or ranch experience is required, and every participant is welcomed with respect, encouragement, and support.
