I know that dogs are not for all veterans but maybe horses might be. Specialized Equine Services offers an amazing program for veterans suffering from PTSD and I highly recommend them. Kevin, Patricia and staff are all amazing people who care tremendously about our nation’s heros.

🌟 Calling All Horse Lovers and Compassionate Hearts! 🐴💖

We are looking for dedicated volunteers to join our therapeutic riding program! If you have a passion for horses and a desire to make a positive impact in the lives of individuals with disabilities, we want to hear from you!

This is a wonderful opportunity to work with horses and help others experience the joy and benefits of therapeutic riding. Your time and support can make a real difference!

If you're interested, please email Rachelle at [email protected]. Let's come together to create a supportive and uplifting environment for those in need!

Thank you for your kindness and support! 🌈✨

Choosing a leader is about more than just filling a role; it’s a decision grounded in trust, influence, and shared objectives. Teams rally around leaders who demonstrate integrity and authenticity, as these qualities foster team cohesion and morale. Charismatic leaders can inspire action and rally troops, while alignment of values ensures mission readiness and commitment.

In chaotic situations, adaptability and resilience are key; people look to leaders who can navigate chaos and maintain operational effectiveness. Feedback loops and accountability strengthen bonds, as leaders who listen and adjust tactics bolster loyalty and trust.

Ultimately, selecting a leader reflects the team’s collective will for representation and alignment with mission goals, underscoring that effective leadership is a dynamic choice forged in the heat of action, not merely an assigned position-RAH!

This is Laney and her trusty steed Ace. Down the Leash Service Dogs are proud sponsors for Laney and the Flickerwood Little Britches Rodeo Association. This young lady is a real inspiration to our veterans in our family. Laney had a really bad horse accident a little while back that almost took her life. Once she was all healed up, she made the choice to get back in the saddle and face her fears. We salute you Laney, for your bravery and determination to pick yourself back up and continue to do what you love. May you always continue to inspire your peers and all of those around you. 🫡

This little guy always impresses me. This is Roadie and James working on “fetch” with a raw egg. This takes a very gentle mouth to pull this off. #eggfetchchallenge
