Your Next Mission Starts Here

Shared Reins is developing programs that connect equine support, skilled trade training, and community to help veterans prepare for meaningful civilian careers.

Two planned pathways will meet veterans at different starting points. “Heal, Train, Advance” will begin with equine support before progressing into trade training. “Train and Advance” will offer a direct route into practical skills and career preparation.

Programs are in development. Enrollment is not yet open.

Equine Support

Shared Reins plans to offer guided activities such as grooming, leading, observing, and caring for horses. No previous horse experience would be required.

Qualified equine specialists and licensed professionals would guide the program, with activities intended to support communication, confidence, emotional awareness, and healthy routines. Participation would reflect each veteran’s needs and readiness.

Future Participation

Programs are in development, and applications are not yet open.

The planned admissions process would include an eligibility review, a conversation about goals and program fit, and a review of potential funding options. Final requirements, program availability, and start dates will be shared as planning progresses.
