Heroes, Herds, and Horsemanship

Horsemanship and Recreation for Veterans
A veteran-centered approach is at the heart of everything we do.
Horses at Home
The Second Careers for Horses Program has been successfully run by the Arkansas Equine Foundation for the last 11 years and has re-homed over 300 horses that were donated by very good owners who received tax benefits for their donation. WLF will fund this program, and many of the horses will serve at the Ranch. Approved veterans’ organizations and other organizations using horses in their programs can adopt these animals free of charge.



Equine Programs
Complementary Wellness Treatments
At Warhorse Ranch, we are excited to offer on site complimentary wellness treatments to veterans. These treatments are designed to work in conjunction with traditional treatments, and alongside our equine and recreational activities. Currently, we have a hyperbaric oxygen chamber (for treatment of wounds and general wellness) and one of the only Biocharger NG™ units in the state of Arkansas. A biocharger is a subtle energy revitalization device for focus, performance, sleep, and recovery.
Family Activity Days
At this time, family activities are limited to the spouse, children, and/or caregiver of the veteran. Exceptions are considered on a case-by-case basis. Groups of more than four must have a pre-approved itinerary. General activities are scheduled 48 hours in advance on predetermined family days.
Family activities may include:
Pre-planned horsemanship demonstrations or activities
Hiking on the trails
Specific events planned by WLF staff and volunteers
Picnics
Fishing in one of three stocked ponds
