Military Veterans & Horses


Our Heroes on Horseback program at Majestic Hills Ranch works with military personnel, both active duty and veterans in rehabilitation.  They work with our horses both in the arena and out on the trail on horse handling and riding skills.  Below we have pulled together some websites and information that highlights what horses can do for our Veterans.
