Project Charlie Oscar's Equine Program will be held in a unique, non-clinical setting for Veterans to spend time in the peace of nature, while learning about Horses, Mules, practicing Natural Horsemanship Techniques, Horseback Trail Rides, Overnight Pack Trips and Special Family Events. The goal is to provide all of these services at ZERO cost to Veterans.
Also looking for help with: Farm Location, Volunteer Board of Directors, Long-term Sponsors, Trail-ready Horses, Pack Mules, a quiet location and the ability to operate the program on a consistent schedule. Access to use private horse trails and permissible sites for overnight camps is a must.
