EAS Program Development and Facilitation

Equine International has partnered with Project Comeback to develop and facilitate EAS programs at the facility in Holliston, MA.  The research team at Equine International, combined with specialists in accessibility, mental health professionals, and veterans has updated the programming at the Project Comeback location and design tailored EAS programming for veterans and first responders in MA.  

This unique program applies updated research and principles of One Welfare to create a program focusing on mutual well-being where veterans benefit from helping horses adjust to domestic environments and building relationships with horses to create opportunities for developing mutual trust.  The pairing of the client with the horse is key in this program since the goal is to help both horses and humans learn mutual communication and relational skills that are beneficial for both horse and human.  All programs are unmounted and emphasize that horses, like humans, can be included in social interactions regardless of physical ability, instead emphasizing communication, choice, agency, and consent for all involved.  

Programming at Project Comeback also partners with the Warrior Within Yoga Project to provide additional wellness options for veterans at each session.
