Abstract

This thesis provides military commands, leaders, and medical professionals an in-depth description of a present-day mustang horse therapy program tailored to service members.

By describing the design and objectives of the American Mustang School in Aberdeen, North Carolina, military commands, leaders, and medical professionals are informed of an innovative means to invest in its greatest commodity: its people. This thesis also discusses possible avenues of future research for mustang therapy.
