And just like that, the Male Veterans Horse Camp has come to an end.
The gentlemen started their final morning with one last breakfast together at the homestead before heading out to the arena for some free riding.
And they definitely weren't going to leave without pushing themselves one more time.
With the staff watching from the sidelines, the guys decided it was time to find "third gear." One by one, they got their horses into a canter and made their way across the arena.
It was pretty incredible to watch. Just a few days ago, some of these guys were learning how to halter, groom, and lead a horse. Today they were cantering across the arena like they belonged there.
We could not be more proud of how much these gentlemen accomplished this week, but more than anything, we're grateful that they chose to spend it with us.
There were a lot of laughs, a few challenges, some great rides, and plenty of memories made along the way.
They may have packed their bags and headed home today, but they, and everyone who has come through this program before them, will always have a place here at R3VHC.
The horses will be here. The trails will be waiting. And there will always be a seat around the fire.
Until we ride again, gents.
