Saratoga WarHorse
Saratoga Springs, NY
Saratoga WarHorse is a nonprofit organization assisting veterans who are suffering from invisible, psychological wounds by providing a confidential, peer-to-peer, action-based, equine-assisted experience that initiates immediate and long-lasting empowering changes.
Saratoga WarHorse provides a new experience with a focus on post-traumatic stress and suicide prevention that is a vastly different approach from traditional talk therapy. The unique and powerful approach of Saratoga WarHorse has been described by veterans as “life-changing beyond words.” As of March 2018, Saratoga WarHorse has graduated over 850 veterans.
The free 3-day program includes travel to our facility in Saratoga Springs, New York or Aiken, South Carolina.
