The Equine Science Center has moved into the Recruitment Phase for the research project. The Center is seeking male participants between the ages of 18 and 75, who are veterns with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), veterans without PTSD, and non veterans to participate in a research study on co-regulation and the effects of equine assisted activities on symptoms of PTSD.
