A big thank you to our friends at VFW Post 4709 for including us in the Veterans Resource Fair sponsored by our outstanding Congressman Morgan Luttrell. It was a wonderful turnout with so many resources and support available for our local veterans. We’re grateful to be part of a community that cares so deeply for those who have served.

Today was a heavy day. Thank you to all the veterans and their families who came to our session and poured their hearts out. We are grateful for the honesty, the courage, and the willingness to speak what was on your mind and share the weight together.

During our group session, we explored how others will know when we need something. Cheyenne made it clear she wanted attention. Even when it’s hard to ask for what we need and want, the horses remind us that it’s worth exploring ways to do it. Who has your back in life?

Our History

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
