We wanted to share a few highlights from the Fall 2024 CERV Class as we wrap up 2024. Every week, our session is linked to a word of the week, which all ends in week 10 with JOY. We frequently lose sight of the things we cherish with all of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. We would like to challenge everyone who reads this to make time this year to do something they enjoy as we go forward to 2025. We look forward to the next group of Center of Equine Recovery for Veterans and MTSU Horse Science Program Students. See you in 2025! #TVHSVeterans #recreationtherapy #equineassistedservices #WhatBringsYouJoy #Herewecome2025
As we start preparing for the new group of Veterans, how about a quick recap of the Fall 2023 semester! We had the LARGEST group in CERV history, and it also marked the return of our Alumni program - Veterans who have completed the program and come back to volunteer their time assisting with the new participants. We look forward to hosting a new group of Veterans starting in February.
We wish all new and returning MTSU students a great start to their Spring semester this coming week!

๐บ๐ธ Today was our final veteran session of the semester until we start back with a new group in spring, 2023. Meet Gerry, who served in the Marine Corps in Vietnam. Just over a year ago Gerry had to undergo an above-the-knee amputation on his right leg, and has been adjusting to everyday life since then. We are so proud of him for branching out and trying our program! He grew up an avid roper and rancher, and it has been a joy to see him get back to what he loves while riding our program horse, Penny. Check out his awesome roping skills!
