WindHaven Therapeutic Riding (WHTR) is a nonprofit organization devoted to providing a fun and safe environment for all veterans and service members who struggle with visible and invisible wounds of war. Windhaven’s mission is to utilize the mutually beneficial human-Equine relationship to promote healing for Veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and other service-related injuries. There is no cost to Veterans or active duty personnel for these services. We are 100% volunteer run and operated. The care and maintenance of our horses is funded through donations.
The trip Sunday to the beach is over some pavement, thru brush land, over sand dunes and onto the beach itself with some soft sand and some hard sand.
There are about 5 blocks of paved road to walk going from Saddle Club thru town, crossing our main road with light traffic. We will provide a crossing assistant.
