Operation Second Stride had the honor of hosting the Families of the Fallen for a deeply meaningful session on the farm. Throughout the afternoon, the space held moments of connection — shared stories, laughter, reflection, and emotional release — all supported by the steady presence of our herd.
Our horses offered their intuitive, grounding energy, and the families expressed heartfelt appreciation for the time they spent here and the sense of peace they experienced within the herd environment.
We extend our deepest gratitude to our entire team of volunteers and board members. Your collective presence, compassion, and teamwork made this afternoon not only possible but profoundly impactful. It is because of your shared dedication that these families felt welcomed, supported, and safe.
