Our Mission:

Our Mission is to combat the suicide rates of Veterans, Active Duty Military, and First Responders by promoting mental health wellness and healing to these Heroes and their families through equine-assisted learning and activities.

Many men and women face unique challenges during their service to our Nation and communities. At Saddles In Service, we provide a place where Heroes can reconnect with a sense of purpose, find healing through the powerful bond with horses, and know they're not riding alone in their healing journey.

Our core values are: Integrity, Respect, Empathy, Love, Compassion, and Learning

Passion Statement:

We embrace all humans and horses that walk through our gate as family, with respect and compassion. We encourage all of our volunteers and heroes to continue learning about themselves, others, and horsemanship. We lift one another up and don’t break anyone down. We support each human and horse in their journey to become the best version of themselves, living a life of purpose and freedom.

Heroes served to date: 1,087

Individual program sessions delivered: 8,825

Healing horses: 38, 5 Retired Border Patrol Mustangs
