4 Freedom Equestrian Team is an all volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit that dedicates their time supporting and honoring the men and women of the US Armed Forces, our nation's Veterans as well as First Responders. Founded in 2006, the team has spent countless hours helping veterans through a variety of programs over the years, many of which were held at the Dayton VA Medical Center, including 4 years of an equine assisted therapy program called "The Heroes' Cavalry", which coordinated with the campus' PTSD Program, as well as weekly visits to the VA's Community Living Center. The team also collects hats and lap blankets for wheelchair-bound veterans.
4 Freedom does a variety of appearances as well, such as Honor Guards, parades, ceremonies and funerals. The team is also working to continue our Share and Care program, in where we make monthly visits to the veterans to teach about horses and their personalities, horse care and safety, military horse history, saddle history and the role horses can play in healing bodies and minds. The team is currently fundraising to continue our Veteran "Thank You" package program, in which we offer a box of patriotic gifts, along with an American flag, free to any US Veteran. Comfort Bag program. We have donated over 100 Comfort (Sensory) Bags to SW Ohio departments to help calm, distract or communicate with autistic, Special needs or ANY child or adult being treated or transported.
