NJ VA Medal of Honor Ceremony
Veterans & Spring Thaw!
Tuesday, March 20, 2018 at 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Hunt Cap Farms
401 Main Street, Three Bridges, NJ 08887
(Hunterdon/Somerset County)
WHAT:
Planetree Therapy Animal Medal of Honor Ceremony presented by NJ VA Healthcare System and Veterans of NJ to the only recipient in New Jersey – a Horse named Spring Thaw. Nominated/awarded by NJ VA Veterans, Spring Thaw is the one of 15 recipients in the USA for 2017.
WHY:
This horse Spring served over 700 combat veterans from 2012 to 1/17/18. He was a gifted teacher and healer and shared his wisdoms of the heart in a unique way. On 1/20/18 this horse made his transition just shy of his 31st birthday. This award was decided without the knowledge of his passing. It will be presented to Spring’s Herd-mates posthumously paying respects and honor to all that he gave for United States Veterans.
WHO:
Spring Thaw dedicated the last 10 years of his life to helping humans with personal and professional development and to heal the wounds of trauma in the EAGALA Model EAP/L therapy arena. Spring Thaw shaped/ affected lives of thousands of humans during his colorful life. He will be missed deeply. Recognition such as this reminds us that Spring was not our horse, he was everyone's horse! He was our patriarch, our teacher and nicknamed “that JediHorse” for some of his keen techniques. Spring Thaw is our NJ state representation of service animals for veterans in 2017. Spring Thaw led CC to EAGALA in 2007 after retiring from Eventing in NJ. That story is told in the book "Horses with a Mission" (NWL 2008).
All Are Welcome in Honoring the Legacy of a Very Special Spotted Horse from New York City!
Run in Peace Great Friend!
