Who We Are
Horses and Veterans in Partnership
At Liberty CONNECTIONS was founded in 2023 as an organization built by veterans for veterans. It was founded to help veterans and others in need who have been impacted by trauma and struggling with life’s challenges. We are donor-supported , committed to providing, non-clinical, trauma-informed and research based equine assisted healing activities. Our events and retreats are designed for veterans and family members who are recovering from anxiety, depression, traumatic events, or high levels of stress.
This year, we will offer services at several independent horse farms including Willetts Horse Farm (Bolivia, NC; Ladd Farm, Bridgewater, NH; Back in the Saddle Equine Therapy Center, Warner, NH; and UpReach Therapeutic Equestrian Center, Goffstown, NH – where any person can find healing, friendship, and support to live a more connected life.
