Ocean View Stables with Zachary Leyden

Published: Nov. 6, 2023, 4 a.m.

In this episode of Veteran On the Move, Joe is joined by Army Veteran and founder of Ocean View Stables, Zachary Leyden. Zachary served in the infantry and left Active Duty after returning from a deployment to Afghanistan. He attended college but struggled during his transition with PTSD and losing the strong sense of purpose that comes with military service. After a life changing connection with a Vietnam Veteran, he started working with horses and regained that sense of purpose. Joe and Zachary discuss the impact of teaching Veteran horsemanship and how he created a business model that can provide multiple streams of income while giving back to his fellow Veterans.
