I have heard of a few programs for equine therapy for vets. Anyone familiar with these programs?

Yes - Lexington Kentucky has programs. I think for Vets especially with PTSD, and one for addiction rehab where the clients in recovery learn to take care of horses for future employment in the horse industry. In my county in Central KY there is a horse therapy program for children with disabilities.

There is one for vets near me in Belvidere, Illinois that as I understand it has been very successful with the veterans.
