Along with rescuing and providing care for unwanted horses, PERRF is committed to providing educational and personal outreach through our Healing Invisible Wounds, non riding program, for our active and retired military personnel, organizations helping victims in recovery from domestic violence, and patients in early stages of dementia and their care partners. Our Healing Invisible Wounds program involves one-on-one activities between human and horse overseen by a trained instructor, mental professional and/or social worker.

Healing Invisible Wounds:

All phases are interchangeable and personalized for each participant.

Phase 1 – Horse Introduction, Herd Observation, Choosing a Horse, Horse Safety Discussion

Phase 2 – Haltering, Grooming, Quiet Time

Phase 3 – Moving the Horse, Leading, Obstacle Course, Walk with the Horse, Feeding

Additionally, we share with the public the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and also educate them in the importance of preserving the land. The public is offered a unique, positive, and welcoming community resource – an environment where friends and families come together to facilitate healing and strengthen relationships through outdoor activities in a peaceful setting.
