”This is where I come to heal from combat. Their individual and family counseling has been paramount in my recovery. I spent 17 years in the Army and have finally found a place that has professionals and a sound treatment program. If you’re struggling, come to group and see for yourself.” -Army Combat Veteran, Pilot

“Jay and Shannon Novak are dedicated patriots of the highest order and are fully committed to providing much needed and effective therapy...equine therapy to heal and help our brothers and sisters struggling to come all the way home. These folks have gone the extra mile to be sure that they are offering the best possible therapy. Eagala- the gold standard- they do it right because VETERANS are their priority!

“This program has accomplished what years of therapy at the VA could not; peace of mind. Attending this program weekly, has literally saved my life. I would highly recommend equine therapy for any veteran struggling with PTSD, anxiety, or depression.” - Army Combat Veteran, OIF, OEF

“This program has absolutely saved my life. Coming home from the Marine Corps, getting a divorce and no job in sight... suicide was a very viable option. The Horses for Heroes program with Shannon at the helm and the horses using a different approach, completely turned things around for me. They just understand the Veteran mindset. I now look forward to waking up everyday and would whole heartedly recommend this group to any Veteran struggling with everyday life in the civilian world. Semper Fidelis!” - Marine Corps Veteran 0311

Client review, May 2020
“If you are a Veteran in Texas and need to re-connect or come to a group with combat veterans of all eras or just want one on one counseling, be brave and contact these guys. They continuously help my family and I work through every issue with PTSD and everything else. Get out of your hole and get some healing-trust me I know. Let's work together to figure out how to adjust outside the military. You can't do it alone." - Army Combat Veteran
