EDITED PRESS RELEASE

OCALA, FL—Through a new collaboration, Aftercare Continued Thoroughbred Training Naturally and Evolution Horsemanship will provide equine-assisted therapeutic programs in Ocala for veterans, first responders and their families, and victims of abuse. The first program will be held Jan. 15 and will take place at Evolution Horsemanship, a natural private setting on a 55-acre ranch.

The programs, which ACTT Naturally regularly conducts in upstate New York, have proven to provide life-changing effects including helping to reduce the effects of Post Traumatic Syndrome. 

“Our ‘Hearts in Harmony’ equine assisted programs are custom designed to help build leadership skills, self-esteem, self-confidence, compassion, empathy, trust, healthy boundaries and more,” ACTT Naturally founder Valerie Buck said. “Our off-track Thoroughbreds connect with participants and facilitate amazing results.”

“The ranch is the perfect setting for the ‘Hearts in Harmony’ program,” Evolution Horsemanship founder Donna Blem said. “With its majestic oak trees and rolling hills, the atmosphere is highly conducive to peaceful reflection and productive horsemanship.”

No prior experience or exposure to horses is necessary. To learn more, see additional program dates, and sign up for a program, click here.
