Julie Lovely (right), is founder and executive director of the nonprofit Wild Hearts Therapeutic Equestrian Program in West Bridgewater, Mass. She emails, “I have teamed up with Jennifer Jeffrey-Goddard ’94 (left), who owns Levaland Farm, to create Wild Hearts Horses for Heroes. The program provides equine-assisted therapy to military veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, or military sexual trauma. We work with veterans to help them communicate and establish a partnership with horses. Such interactions help veterans learn to trust and build relationships again. The program, which is free to veterans, launched in May.”
