Outpost Motorsports, 312 E. Main St. in West Plains, has donated $400 to Veterans Equine Training Services (V.E.T.S.) of the Ozarks located 8 miles southwest of West Plains. Business owner Jeremy Prewett has demonstrated his support for disabled veterans over the years and continues to help ensure that local programs remain available to them, shared V.E.T.S. President and CEO Allen Dye. Operated by veterans, V.E.T.S. provides an eight-week, six-step equine training and horseback riding program to veterans living with post traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injury living in the greater West Plains area, on both sides of the Missouri/Arkansas State Line. “We manage a 100-acre horse ranch as well as working with disabled veterans. The T-Boss 750 side-by-side, that we purchased from Outpost Motorsports is a workhorse around the ranch. We need the four-wheel drive and the winch that comes standard on the T-Boss and the roof and windshield are also standard equipment,” said Dye, expressing appreciation for Prewett and his staff. “Jeremy’s service staff is outstanding, answering all of our questions and providing quality service. If you are looking for a side-by-side ATV these are the people to see.” To learn more about the V.E.T.S. program or to donate, call 877-5FORVET (877-536-7838) or visit www.forvets.info.
