Saddles for Soldiers


What is Saddles for Soldiers?
Saddles for Soldiers: A Premier Equine-Assisted Program for Our Nation’s Heroes
Saddles for Soldiers is an acclaimed equine-assisted program created to honor and support veterans, active-duty military personnel, and first responders, including firefighters, police officers, EMTs, dispatchers, and paramedics. Located in the heart of Los Angeles County, this transformative program provides a safe and empowering environment for those who have dedicated their lives to serving their country and communities.
Through the profound connection between humans and horses, Saddles for Soldiers offers participants a pathway to healing, personal growth, and renewed purpose. Horses, with their intuitive and nonjudgmental nature, serve as powerful partners in helping participants navigate life’s challenges, manage stress, and rediscover inner strength.
The program focuses on rebuilding trust, fostering emotional resilience, and empowering individuals to reconnect with themselves and others. Each session is designed to provide practical tools for personal development while creating a sense of belonging within a supportive community of peers.
At Saddles for Soldiers, we honor the sacrifices of those who serve our nation and communities. This program is our way of giving back to veterans, active-duty military, and first responders—including firefighters, police officers, EMTs, paramedics, and dispatchers—who have selflessly dedicated their lives to protecting and helping others.
Completely free of charge, Saddles for Soldiers provides a safe and supportive space where participants can focus on their personal growth, recovery, and empowerment. It’s more than just a program—it’s a heartfelt commitment to show gratitude to the brave individuals who have given so much.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and community partners, we’re able to keep this program accessible to all who need it, ensuring that every participant has the opportunity to experience the life-changing connection between humans and horses.
