A means for equestrians to give back on Veteran’s Day

Operation Silver Spurs located in Conifer, CO was founded by a veteran, Brad Myers (USMC), to assist veterans, who have suffered physical and/or mental disabilities, to return to their families and lives “without physical therapy and/or psychological or psychiatric services.”

The Operation Silver Spurs website states:

In some cases, veterans are too proud to seek assistance. Operation Silver Spurs assures veterans of their dignity while giving them a new perspective on their ability to reach life goals and succeed in a civilian world. This program is conducted in a safe and non-threatening environment that promotes trust, communication and self-confidence.

The all volunteer organization consists of veterans and civilians that want to make a difference, and they are involved in every phase of the operation. Equine experience is not a necessity to join this association. In these times, it may not even be necessary to live in Colorado. To find out if your talents can be of service contact Brad via email brad@operationsilverspurs.org or call 303-332-9230.
