Today, on Vietnam War Veterans Day, we pause to honor a generation of Americans who answered the call to serve during a difficult and defining time in our nation’s history. Many carried the weight of that service long after returning home.

For many families, including those close to Gary, this day carries deep personal meaning. His brothers-in-law, Jack, Mac, and Arthur, each served in Vietnam, and their experiences are a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by so many during that time.

Today, and every day, we remember their service, honor their sacrifice, and extend our gratitude to all Vietnam veterans. Welcome home. 🇺🇸

STAT is Eagala Military Designated

We are HOSTING an Eagala Fundamentals 5-day training at our 222 Horse Power Miracles Lane Campus (Ligonier)

AUGUST 12-16, 2026

go to Eagala.org for more details

Getting an Eagala Military designation requires 30 hours of cultural competence training. We are often asked by Eagala members who weren't part of the military but want to support the military in their practices, "How do I get these hours?"

Recently, several of our members offered the following suggestions:

- "In my area they have an annual program 'Veterans Voices' where veterans read stories , poems and music about their experiences. Also, you can look up Big Lux...
he is a veteran who does hip hop music with a violin expressing the conflict between being back at home and being in a combat zone."

- "PsychArmor webinars and videos... joining your local CVEB (Community Veterans Engagement Board) ... attending their meetings. Also, engaging with (in the U.S.) State Veteran Services Boards."

- "Check out this website: https://deploymentpsych.org/STAR-CE-Memos"

THanks so much to our herdmates Carol Silva, Maria Kimble, and Debra Foley for providing these outside-the-box resources!

Our Story

STAT strives for equality of ALL in a society without barriers, to help every human reach their full potential.

STAT provides EAP/EAL and Hippotherapy services; we also offer restorative retreats and can customize a program to your needs:

>> Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (a mental health treatment that incorporates horses in a variety of activities that stimulate growth and learning for clients) We utilize the EAGALA modality, which provides for a powerful and effective therapeutic session with a collaborative effort between a licensed mental health professional, a horse professional, and the horse(s) to facilitate treatment goals. (

>> Hippotherapy (Speech, Physical & Occupational Outpatient Therapy) We utilize horses as the therapy tool and licensed therapists trained by the American Hippotherapy Association).
