Free to US Military Veterans

The Evergreen Elks Lodge and Operation Silver Spurs would like to treat you to a unique experience with horses! This free program is conducted in a safe and non-threatening atmosphere that promotes trust, communication and self-confidence and focuses on the healing power of horses. It will use leadership skills learned in the military, give a different perspective on life, help alleviate stress and improve communication and personal relationships. Whether it’s grooming, training or riding, participants begin to explore the relationship with the horse as a teacher, partner and confidant. Special programs are also available to help veterans with physical challenges improve core body strength and balance to complement physical therapy.

Veterans may enroll in subsequent classes that provide greater interaction with the horses, advanced riding skills and more in-depth Wisdom of the Horse™ leadership philosophies. Through these classes, veterans also learn ways to apply military leadership experience to civilian life and, at the same time, build lasting friendships with fellow veterans of all ages and walks of life.

You and your family are invited to upcoming introductory sessions to see what it is about. Please contact Brad Myers at 303-332-9230 or , or Ellen LaRiviere from the Evergreen Elks Lodge at 303-674-8271.

Operation Silver Spurs is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
