The horses are great because they’re like mirrors. Whatever you’re feeling inside, they pick up on that. - NBC Today
About us
War Horses for Veterans is the premier horsemanship, networking and personal growth program in the U.S. We are a Kansas City based nonprofit that brings combat veterans and first responders from across the country together in a safe and peaceful environment. Our 1-4 day programs are designed to teach the basics of horsemanship and create a network that will provide outlets for other opportunities and friendships. We use a combination of learning to work a horse, creating new networks and life coaching to help each veteran and first responder with their own personal growth. We are a 501(c)(3) Equine based Networking Non-profit for Combat Veterans and First Responders. None of this would be possible without the support from our community.

“In the study, the veterans had to perform tasks requiring them to be very much in the moment,” Quinn said. “They were keeping themselves calm, and centering on the activity that was right in front of them – talking with the horses, brushing them, leading them. This kind of present-moment focus is a skill that can be developed and may help the symptoms of PTSD to feel more manageable.” - Ellen Rankins, the first author on the paper and a doctoral student at the time, worked closely with the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. https://lnkd.in/gGfkvw4z Rutgers University #RutgersEquineScienceCenter #PTSD #veterans
