Transforming lives with horses

Carlisle Academy has been selected to receive funding for veterans who have incurred service-connected injuries to body, mind or spirit, on or after Sept. 11, 2001. These veterans are eligible for up to 10 sessions within a year in either hippotherapy or adaptive riding and carriage driving, at no cost to them.
PATH is a leader in offering Equine Assisted Activities & Therapies to military veterans.
