🎙 Healing Through Horses: How Equine Therapy Supports Veterans | VET S.O.S.

In this episode, we’re diving into the healing power of equine-assisted therapy with Katie Fallon, Founder & Executive Director of Bridle Paths.

With over two decades of experience in equine-assisted psychotherapy and therapeutic riding, Katie shares how her journey led to helping veterans, service members, and military families overcome invisible wounds like PTSD, anxiety, depression, and traumatic brain injuries.

💡 Learn how horses, as intuitive, non-judgmental partners, create a safe space for healing and how Bridle Paths’ programs help veterans reconnect, regulate their emotions, and find new purpose post-service.

💬 Episode Highlights:

  • How horses sense human emotions and trauma
  • The impact of equine therapy on mental health and PTSD
  • How veterans can access free equine-assisted programs
  • The science behind horse-human connection
  • Keith’s first horseback riding experience (and the core workout he didn’t expect!)

📢 If you or someone you know is struggling with transition, this episode is a must-listen!
