WarHorses for Heroes provides no-cost, equine-assisted programs and hands-on training opportunities for veterans, with a focus on emotional resilience, trust-building, and community reintegration.
Veterans participate in weekly sessions that include horsemanship, therapeutic riding, and hands-on horse care. Each program is designed to build trust, confidence, and emotional resilience. We also offer veteran-led workshops focused on leadership, peer support, and skill-building. All programs are free of charge.

Our Therapeutic Riding Sessions are led by one of our knowledgeable, PATH certified, instructors with a licensed therapist present. During these sessions, our heroes learn to build a trusting and meaningful relationship with the WarHorses through grooming, groundwork, and riding.
Advanced Lessons are offered to veterans who have completed 6-12 weeks of therapeutic riding sessions. These lessons give the veterans a chance to further their horsemanship by learning more active skills.
EAPD Sessions are a collaboration between a horse professional and a therapist or counselor. These sessions offer participants educational and emotional support while working with the horses on the ground
If you or a loved one is a veteran who could benefit from the healing
power of horses, we would love to connect
