HOOFSTEPS4HEROES launched in January of                           2021 to provide camaraderie, healing and self                               discovery to veterans from the saddle.  This program is made possible by the support of local organizations like Cox Communications, Defenders of Freedom Florida and HOPE Matters.  There is NO COST to veterans or first responders who qualify for our therapeutic riding program.

Introducing ALPHA-Stim. Do you need a better way to relieve pain, control anxiety, fight depression, or treat insomnia? Maybe you’ve tried prescription medications, but they haven’t worked as planned. Perhaps you haven’t tried pills or shots yet because you have well-founded concerns about side effects, interactions, and even addiction.    

Treatment packages are now available at Healing Hoof Steps.  Visit www.Alpha-Stim.com to learn more about the benefits. Treatments range from 20-60 minutes each.
