Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Every 22 minutes a Veteran, service member or First Responder commits suicide, they feel their lives have no purpose, that they have no place. Thousands of children are living in Foster Care and 80% of 18-year-olds who age out of the Foster Care system (nationwide) end up pregnant, incarcerated or homless. Children today have more anxiety, anger management and behavioral issues than ever before. Time spent with horses, whether in a recreational, instructional or therapeutic program, calms you down, makes you feel loved and needed, less anxious, less angry, and you come away better able to cope with life's challenges.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our goal is to uses horses to empower, engage, inspire, educate, entertain and employ those in our community whose Call of Duty is to Protect, Serve, Teach and Heal. We do this by making equestrian programs affordable and accessible.

Our strategies are to offer low-cost equestrian programs for all ages, including riding lessons, camps, birthday parties, field trips, corporate and special events and free workshops. We hold free open houses and open riding on the weekends with promotions like $5 Fridays and Saddle Up Saturdays and Sundays. In so doing, we hope to serve as an example for our affiliates so they can offer the same programs at their facilities.

Our HQ and flagship facility is located on a 2.5-acre urban ranch in Las Vegas. Here we offer camps, lessons, birthday parties, field trips, and free experiential education sessions with horses.

Horses4Heroes owns and operates the Horses4Heroes Family Equestrian Center, our HQ and Flagship Facility. We are launching a Capital Campaign to purchase this property with the goal of placing it in a Land Trust, to preserve this rural property for future generations. We also are raising funds to put shade over our small riding arena and install walkways and Astro Turf. We are expanding our board of directors and updating our financials.
