Horses are helping to heal wounded warriors Wounded Warriors are participating in Equestrian programs to help overcome wounds inside and out. The Marines are members of the Marine Corps Wounded Warriorregiment and are stationed in California. The Wounded Warrior Regiment was established in 2007 to provide non-medical care to wounded, ill or injured Marines to help them transition back to their units or move successfully into civilian life. The program recognizes that healing is more than treating physical wounds, and so members of the regiment must participate in activities- such as equine sports- that develop their minds, spirits and bodies.
