Journey with H.O.O.V.E.S.™

Helping Heroes Horses Heal! 

At H.O.O.V.E.S., we help our service men and women who have lost hope to heal, regain control, and return to the lives they've fought to protect.​

We invite you to step into a life-changing journey with us, where healing and hope unite.

At H.O.O.V.E.S., our journey isn’t just about healing—it’s about transforming lives. Our veterans and first responders have faced challenges most of us can only imagine, and through our equine-assisted programs, we provide a safe space for them to rediscover hope, purpose, and community.

 

But these journeys require more than our team—it needs the collective strength of our local communities, volunteers, corporations and organizations that employ veterans, and veteran-owned businesses. We’re calling on you to stand alongside us, to be part of something bigger. Your donations of funding, time, and resources allow us to continue this life-changing work, offering hope to those who’ve sacrificed so much.

 

When you journey with H.O.O.V.E.S., you’re not just giving—you’re actively helping to heal the invisible wounds of our nation’s heroes. Together, we can ensure they find the support and resources they need to thrive.

 

Join us in this mission! Donate financially, volunteer, or become a H.O.O.V.E.S. Mission Partner today, and help us continue this powerful journey of healing and renewal. Keep scrolling to learn more!
