Coming alongside a Veteran, one question at a time

Can family members contact ENVET?

Yes. Family members can reach out to learn about ENVET and ask about current participation arrangements. The team confirms eligibility, available activities, and whether a family member or support person can join a particular visit.

Eagle’s Nest Veterans’ Equine Therapy serves United States and partner-nation Veterans, Active Duty service members, Reserve Service Members, their families and loved ones, and Families of Fallen Heroes in Lovettsville, Virginia. Equine-assisted programs are completely free of charge to those we serve. This guide is a starting point for a conversation, not confirmation of a booking or a specific session.

Our Horse Heroes help create opportunities to work on communication and family connection. Pre- and Post-Deployment Support and Family Support During Deployment offer focused ways to participate; the team will help you discuss which opportunity fits.

Start by asking what would be useful

If you are looking into ENVET for someone else, leave room for them to decide what interests them. You can offer to find information, pass along the contact details, or join a conversation if they want you there.

You do not need to explain another person’s history to make an initial inquiry. “I’m a family member and would like to understand the program” is a reasonable introduction.

Questions to bring to the team

• How do family members take part in the current program?
• Can a support person accompany a Veteran on an initial visit?
• Are there age restrictions or supervision requirements for children?
• What activities are available, and what does a first visit involve?
• What access or accommodation questions should we discuss ahead of time?
• Who should we contact to confirm the visit details?

These are questions, not promises that a particular arrangement is available. Asking before travel gives the team a chance to explain what is possible.

Keep the first message private and simple

Do not send someone else’s medical records, military identity documents, or other sensitive information through email or messaging. Ask the team how any necessary information should be handled, and let the person concerned decide what they want to share.

This website has no clinical intake form or document upload. The contact page provides direct phone, email, and messaging options.

A visit is something to plan together

Talk with ENVET before arriving. Confirm the time, location, participants, and anything you need to know about clothing, weather, or accessibility. The address is 37958 Long Lane, Lovettsville, Virginia 20180.

If there are health-related questions about participation, discuss them with an appropriate healthcare professional and ask ENVET about the scope of its program. This website does not provide medical advice or promise clinical outcomes.
