Organization Information
Mission Statement
Hope for Heroes Horsemanship Center provides a Therapeutic Horsemanship Program to Veterans and Active-Duty Personnel free-of-charge who are suffering from PTSD, Suicidal Behavior, Depression and other wounds of war, while helping other horse centers around the world to offer similar programs.
Description
Our horses are the heart and soul of our organization. They are the ONLY "therapists" that we have on our staff. Their natural horse behavior helps our participants to know when their anxiety is high, and encourages them to re-learn how to self-manage their anxiety disorder. This is EXACTLY the help that our PTSD veterans and active-duty participants need!
Our staff is made up of passionate and dedicated individuals who are committed to helping our participants learn important horsemanship skills. They are all highly trained and experienced in working with horses and people. This helps our participants to be successful with their horse and have an enjoyable experience.
Our volunteers are the backbone of our organization. They help us with everything from cleaning stalls to leading horses. They are all passionate about our mission and are always willing to lend a hand.
Our veterans and active-duty personnel are the reason we do what we do. They have protected our way of life and now they are all facing challenges in their lives, but they are all determined to overcome them. We are honored to be able to help them on their journey.
