The population of United States (U.S.) veterans is multifaceted and complex. Twenty-two veterans commit suicide daily. Addressing various significant veteran needs requires a multitude of resources and solutions beyond traditional healthcare. Research on veterans who participate in equine assisted activities and/or therapies (EAA-T) demonstrate a reduction in PTSD symptoms, stress, depression, and anxiety while indicating improved quality of life. Given the potential benefits of EAA-T it is important for healthcare professionals to have a basic understanding of the industry.
