Foxfield F.A.R.M. Welcomes its Board Members

The Foxfield For A Recovery Mission organization founded by Susan
and Bill Regan, recently welcomed Board members to their private equine
farm in Granby, CT. Foxfield F.A.R.M (Foxfield For A Recovery Mission)
is an IRS registered 501(c) (3) foundation that has been established to
provide an equestrian groundwork training program for U.S. Veterans with
PTSD and related issues incurred through military service. Similar
programs throughout the U.S. have proven to be successful in support of
Veterans' transition from the battlefield to the home front and an
improved quality of life. This curriculum will be offered at absolutely
no cost to any Veteran pre-qualified for participation in the program.

Concentration is on the handling, feeding, veterinary care, exercise,
safety instruction and rehabilitation techniques for equine
maintenance. Practical work will also include trailer loading, body
trimming, lunge work, stall maintenance, farrier care and the ability to
recognize common ailments associated with equine health. In addition,
this program will incorporate the "repurposing" of rescue horses and
locating new, responsible owners. The synergy of the work invested by
the Veterans to aid the recovery/rehoming of these horses is equitably
therapeutic.

“What a terrific and inspiring example of community-minded people
working to make a positive impact in the lives of our vets,” State
Senator John Kissel (R) said. “The Regans, through this foundation, are
simply saying ‘thank you’ to the men and women who have made such
tremendous sacrifices to protect our freedom. I commend the Regans on
their work and I am honored to be a Foxfield F.A.R.M. board member.
Many Veterans will see an improved quality of life thanks to the therapy
offered right here in Granby.”

“I will be spreading the word about Foxfield F.A.R.M. to my fellow
legislators at the State Capitol,” said Sen. Kissel. “We are always
looking for best practices in supporting Veterans and this is a great
story to tell. The therapy provided by Foxfield F.A.R.M. is innovative,
and I think policymakers at all levels of government can learn from
it.”

Foxfield F.A.R.M. Corporation is in partnership with Saint Francis
Hospital and Medical Center, Mount Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital and The
Frank Netter School of Medicine Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine at
Quinnipiac University with regard to their respective medical and
research work with PTSD patients. In addition, the First Company
Governor's Horse Guard is a collaborative supporter via volunteers and
the provision of an optional extended equestrian experience should any
Veteran wish to ride or join the oldest mounted troop in the United
States.
