The Veterans & Mustangs program connects active-duty military and veterans with wild horses in an effort to help both the participant and the animal.
With the help and guidance of an MHF trainer, participants spend approximately 30 days gentling a previously untouched horse. Through the gentling process, participants also basic horse care and management.
The goal of the program is to help veterans lead more productive lives while helping an animal in need. After the completion of the program, the horses are available for adoption by the participant or placed into private care.
