Programs

1 program

War horse creek is an immersive transition training program for veterans. It all starts with the mustangs. We rescue wild mustangs from the bureau of land management blm and bring them together with veterans in an innovative approach called collaborative horsemanship. This approach gives veterans the opportunity to master skills that often go dormant during their military tenure empathy, patience, understanding, kindness, and compassion. Once the skills are mastered with the mustangs, they will be ingrained as adaptive habits that can be transferred to family, friends and society.
