About Equine Immersion Foundation
The complexities of 21st century military service demand innovative strategies. Having facilitated thousands of hours of therapeutic interventions with the Equine Immersion Project, the overwhelming need for expertise in the Active-Duty and Special Forces communities could not be denied.
Our nation is asking more and more of our volunteer military due to recent and emerging conflicts in our world. The EIF team understands and is prepared to deliver and sustain our mission responsibilities to serve those who served and still serve. The urgency to respond with one of the nation’s most highly trained premier providers of equine assisted services sparked the formation of the EQUINE IMMERSION FOUNDATION.
