Step Onto the Land Where
Healing Begins
Nestled in the peaceful countryside of Salem Lakes, WI, First Light Equine Therapy offers a calm and welcoming environment where healing begins the moment you arrive. Open pastures, quiet barns, and the steady presence of our therapy horses create space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect.
Whether you are considering services, exploring volunteer opportunities, or supporting our mission, visiting the farm allows you to experience firsthand the heart behind our work.
We invite veterans, families, community members, and supporters to come see where transformation happens — one session, one moment, one connection at a time.
What to Expect During Your Visit
We welcome scheduled visits for prospective clients, veterans and families considering services, donors and sponsors, volunteers, and community partners who want to learn more about our mission.
Visits are by appointment only in order to protect the privacy and dignity of participants currently engaged in sessions. During your time at the farm, you may meet our therapy horses, tour the barn and pasture areas, learn about the EAGALA model, ask questions about programs for veterans, youth, and families, and explore meaningful ways to get involved.
Every visit is intentionally designed to be calm, respectful, and informative.
A Private and Purposeful Environment
Our horses are carefully selected partners in the therapeutic process. They are not tools, they are active participants in the healing work that happens here. Each horse is temperament tested, properly trained, and cared for daily, with consistent veterinary and farrier support to ensure their health and wellbeing.
When you visit the farm, you will see firsthand the steady, calm presence that makes equine-assisted therapy so powerful and impactful.
