Who We Are

Amanda Held

Founder & CEO

“Years ago, I struggled with mental health and relied on medication to cope daily until I met a wild Mustang named Shelby. Working with her taught me the power of emotional regulation and healing. I founded H.O.O.V.E.S. to share this with others, especially veterans struggling with PTSD. Through equine therapy, we can save lives.”

H.O.O.V.E.S. was born from that experience. It was built slowly and deliberately, in partnership with fellow veterans, not as a replacement for clinical care but as a path forward when other options had been exhausted.
