Victory Hill Therapeutic Horsemanship

11/03/2025

This past Saturday, we were honored to host our Veteran and First Responder Retreat — a truly special day of healing, camaraderie, and community.

Participants spent time connecting with our amazing horses through peaceful activities such as leading, grooming, and guided meditation, finding moments of calm, reflection, and shared understanding. The bond between horses and humans is powerful, and we witnessed it firsthand as our herd helped open hearts and bring people together.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended and made the day so meaningful — to our veterans, first responders, volunteers, and supporters who continue to stand behind our mission. Your presence made this retreat a day to remember. ❤️

Here’s to more days of healing, connection, and hope — together. 🕊️🐎
