Jason Khalaf retired from the Army after a military career that started in the Navy. Jason’s goal when he started his military career was to serve America. Jason and his wife were drawn to Basecamp for Veterans and that initial involvement placed Jason in the role of being served by the Basecamp Team to assist in his post-retirement world.

Basecamps contribution helped to repair their communication which ultimately saved their marriage. Jason and his wife Gerri Ann took so much away from their experience that they became Basecamp Mentors.

Since this is Memorial Day Weekend we felt it was important to interview a Veteran Who is Serving other Veterans. Basecamp in funded by donations. Please visit bcampinc.com if you are so inclined and give what feels right.

CEO & Founder, Mary Hartman, was a horse owner who was frustrated because her horse was constantly getting sick and none of the common solutions were working. Mary’s mission became finding a solution that used food and not medications. This quest is how StableFeed was born.

Mary says “There is no species of animal to which we owe more than equids. I have a profound love and respect for these animals and believe that every aspect of their care should reflect the gratitude these animals so richly deserve.”

StableFeed is an innovative horse feed and supplement company that uses science to harness the power of nutraceutical foods to promote and maintain systemic health in today's equine athletes.
