Equest Hooves for Heroes

Equest Hooves for Heroes Equest is dedicated to improving the lives of North Texas veterans and their families by connecting t There is a magic there that defies description.

Equest has provided EAAT to children and adults with diverse needs for 35 years. We are a Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship - International (PATH-I) premier accredited site and an international leader in EAAT. Four years ago, Equest launched our veterans program, "Hooves for Heroes". We believe that horses provide a gateway to better emotional health and a greater quality of life. We also believe that our military veterans have all the skills they need to be productive community members, good neighbors, and civic leaders. When these warriors successfully navigate the transition from the military to civilian life, they make our community stronger. To help them achieve this, Equest Hooves for Heroes aims to improve overall wellness by leveraging the powerful bond between horses and humans. But within that relationship lies the answer to many of life's challenges...just ask anyone who has ever loved a horse.
