War Horses For Veterans Empowering combat veterans & first responders through horsemanship programs. Building confidence, resilience, & community.

Our mission at WHFV is to equip combat veterans and first responders for success by using reflection and personal growth. Our goal is to help combat veterans and first responders who experienced life-disrupting trauma to recover from their limitations, to repurpose their talents and abilities to a successful life, and to reintegrate into their families, workplaces, and communities. We envision a community of active duty military, combat veterans, and first responders who support one another as each individual moves from trauma through recovery to a productive and sustainable life.​

Saturday was a busy night for the War Horses For Veterans organization.

We were not just well represented in Fort Worth, but also had a special recognition during Outlaw Days back in Kansas City.

Our very own War Horse Ambassador Major Heath Patrick ( Heath Patrick ) was presented with the Horse Soldier Bourbon “Be Cowboy” award, celebrating his time in uniform and continued service to our community since being back in Kansas.

Thanks to J Todd Wilkins for giving our group of War Horse alumni a tour of the bulls and having them meet the entire Kansas City Outlaws team.

We cannot properly show our appreciation to the PBR and Mark Nutsch for selecting Heath and highlighting our organization during such an amazing event.

A big THANK YOU to QTS Data Centers, our newest sponsor, for joining us in Fort Worth!

QTS’s commitment to innovation and its investment in the veteran community, including a workforce where more than 20% of U.S. employees have served in the military, reflect a meaningful commitment to those who serve.

We’re grateful to have QTS supporting our organization and helping power the horsepower behind our Combat Veterans and First Responders. Thank you for investing in our mission and the people who make it possible.

You know what it looks like when someone comes home and nothing feels right.

Research on U.S. veterans found that 56.9% feel lonely sometimes or often, and that loneliness is strongly linked to suicidal thoughts, poorer physical health and decreased functioning.

Maybe you’ve seen it up close. Maybe you believe, like we do, that people who gave everything deserve a place to find their footing again.

That’s what War Horses for Veterans is: America’s Premier Performance Horse Program for Combat Veterans and First Responders.

Year-round, in 5-day and 1-day programs, performance horses and a customized Post-Traumatic Growth program guide each one to face their deepest challenges.

Behind every rider is a horse that welcomes them with no judgement. And keeping those horses healthy takes feed, vet care and farrier work all year.

Monthly War Horse Warriors help us cover it all:
$25 a month helps fund Post-Traumatic Growth Assessments for everyone in the program.

$50 a month helps cover feed, vet care and farrier costs, so our horses stay healthy and everyone has a horse to ride.

$250 a month helps cover food, housing and travel, so attendees come at no cost to their families.
