Here's an easy way to support a local effort designed to help Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and active duty military to "recuperate, recreate and reintegrate into society and give them a new perspective so that they can reach their life goals." As the nonprofit group explains on its website, horsesforheroes.org/:

Cowboy Up! is a horse therapy wellness program based in Santa Fe, NM free to veterans and active military who have sustained physical injuries or combat trauma (PTSD) during their time serving our country. From day one Veterans are hands on with our horses beginning with groundwork and progressing to riding, as well as participating in other aspects of ranch life, including working cattle and more importantly experiencing the camaraderie with cowboys who are Veterans themselves.

The organization is located on the Turquoise Trail National Scenic Byway at the Crossed Arrows Ranch, Santa Fe, NM. For more information e-mail info@horsesforheroes.org or call 505.798.2535.
