Spring Reins of Life (SRoL) is a tiny ORG making Huge Strides for Veterans' mental health. Last year was challenging yet brought forward many positive changes. Our new executive board is a year deep and welcomes more passionate members. The new website is still on its way to us, a NEW launching quarterly newsletter, and more to come...
One thing that has remained constant here is Operation Horse. Since our beginning we have proudly served those who have served, and our honor to continue doing so. With your help.
As we approach 2025 we still SEE Veterans at the Gate! Join us in providing Operation Horse Wednesday for New Jersey Veterans with PTSd to benefit in ways that require no words, or every word. The horses provide personalized coping skills that fit where we are and then help us to adapt when needed. SRoL's current Op Horse Wednesdays programming includes a monthly OPEN group (first Wednesday) and two Wednesdays where we host a trauma unit from Lyons VA Hospital campus.
Spring Reins of Life has a survivor goal to accomplish with your assistance. In June 2012, New Jersey Veterans were the first population we served with several groups from the NJVAHCS PTSd Combat Trauma Unit began a legacy here at SRoL with the Herd and Veterans. Post pandemic, it was New Jersey Veterans who were our first groups to return to the Herd, by their request. When you contribute to this campaign you are supporting mental health for Veterans. For many trauma survivors, traditional talk therapy and even drug therapy is not effective. Horses can offer a place to build a relationship on trust and from there the Horses lead a path towards peace.
You have an opportunity to make a huge difference in lives of Veterans who suffer with PTSd. These Veterans made sacrifices for all of us. Please make a donation today to say thank you. You can donate once, or recurring. Small amounts are so appreciated as it all adds up! Please share.

"Everyone has their own solutions to find, and each horse shows the way unique way for each situation. In the past decade we have witnessed the mending of families, rebuilding of marriages, personal life-shifts, and lives saved “because of that horse”… C.Capra, co-founder, Spring Reins of Life, Inc.
