“There’s something about the outside of a horse that’s good for the inside of man.” – Winston Churchill
Welcome to HorseSensing!
We are a 9 month minimum residential program where veterans and men in recovery receive treatment for substance abuse while learning a new trade. This is all at no cost to them. We provide for all needs free of charge so the focus can be on healing and progressing to a new permanent path of stability and health. Residents are placed in a good job with the skills and support to succeed for the long term.
