Sponsor a Veteran

U.S. military veterans are struggling with the transition to civilian life, resulting in anxiety, depression and all too often, suicide. Here at War Horse Creek, we have developed a Collaborative Horsemanship Workshop which gives veterans the opportunity to master skills that often go dormant during their military tenure – empathy, patience, understanding, kindness and compassion. Once these skills are mastered with the mustangs, they will be ingrained as adaptive habits that can be transferred to family, friends and society.

You can help! Choose from the sponsorship options to cover the expenses of our workshop. Any amount helps a veteran attend at no cost to them or their families.

One Meal for Veterans & Staff - $130

All Workshop Expenses for 1 Veteran (1 day) - $350

Located in the San Jacinto Mountains of Southern California, War Horse Creek is a veteran-led program which rescues wild mustangs from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and brings them together with military veterans in an innovative approach called Collaborative Horsemanship. Similar in ways to the popular Equine Therapy approach, veterans must work to earn the trust and collaboration of the mustang, rather than use force or intimidation. These skills can be translated into every relationship they have, improving decision-making and long-term outcomes.

Camp Harris is now open and will begin hosting groups of 8 veterans for 3, 5 and 7-day Collaborative Horsemanship workshops. 

War Horse Creek is now raising scholarship funds for veterans to participate at no cost to them. Those willing to support future veteran participation in the Collaborative Horsemanship workshops can do so through a donation.
