Shannon Novak founded the first Eagala Equine Assisted Psychotherapy Program for veterans in Montgomery County Texas in 2016. She became Eagala Certified in 2016 after witnessing the impact horses made on her husband’s life after serving 20 years in the USAF. In 2020, her program earned the distinction as an Eagala Military Services Provider, the only certified program of its kind in SE Texas. She and her husband raised two beautiful kids in the midst of multiple combat deployments and duty station changes. It was through these difficult times that she developed an unwavering love and admiration for veterans and their families. She has followed her passion to serve veterans and their family members ever since. Through years of hard work, grit, and perseverance, she has facilitated hundreds of veteran equine therapy sessions along with her team, Marla Neely LPC and Robert Knapick Ph.D.. The team is growing and now facilitating on a private, 10 acre ranch in Montgomery, Texas called Sunny Creek Ranch. Sessions are confidential, private and provided at NO COST to veterans, first responders, and their families/caregivers. Because Sunny Creek Ranch is veteran operated, the unique challenges that our heroes face is understood. www.sunnycreekranch.com
