Loudoun Therapeutic Riding

2025

This $4,500 grant has funded ten equine-assisted learning sessions for veterans, first responders, and senior citizens. Led by trained specialists, the program supports mental health and emotional well-being through mindfulness, emotional regulation, and experiential learning.

“We are so grateful to the Virts Miller Foundation for providing critical funding to support seniors participating in our Silver Spurs program at LTR. Connecting these seniors with our horses has generated unspeakable joy and happiness for those who otherwise are not able to access horses. Many share memories of their time spent with horses in their youth. We would not be able to offer this program at no charge without the support of the Virts/Miller Foundation.” — Laura Smith, Executive Director
