MISSION & PROGRAMS

Mission:
Empowering Veterans and First Responders on California’s central coast through equine-assisted programs and vocational horsemanship training, while actively supporting the retraining and rehoming of retired racehorses. We believe in mutual transformation — where horses and heroes heal and build new futures together.

Our organization provides programs involved with equine rescue & adoption
Our organization provides outreach and/or public education programs involving horses.
100% of our total programs and services are equine-related.
Our organization is directly responsible for the care and shelter of equines involved in our programs.
Our organization does not CURRENTLY use satellite, overflow, foster, and/or outreach facilities.

Please describe what steps your organization takes to ensure that:
1) all interactions between your equines and people are mutually beneficial and conducted in accordance with the Guidelines for Human-Equine Interactions stated below;
2) all equines in the care of our organization and/or equines that participate in the organization's program have access to clean drinking water at all times; nutritious food in sufficient quantity, including natural forage such as pasture grass and/or hay; appropriate veterinary, farrier, and dental care; shelter and protection from the weather; sufficient safe space to move around comfortably on a daily basis; and daily opportunity to freely interact and have contact with other equines:

Healing Heroes Through Horsemanship ensures that all human–equine interactions are safe, respectful, and aligned with the EQUUS Foundation Guidelines for Human–Equine Interactions. Horses are treated as sentient partners, never commodities, and are only asked to engage in activities consistent with their temperament and readiness. Our trauma-informed approach emphasizes trust-building, natural behaviors, and the authority of trained staff to remove a horse from participation if stress is observed. Written policies guide equine selection, continuous monitoring, safety, and contingency planning.
     
     Equine care is overseen by our hands-on Board President, a practicing veterinarian specializing in equine podiatry, with professional affiliations including the Society for Veterinary Medical Ethics and the Human-Animal Bond Association. All horses receive individualized diets tailored to age, body condition, and workload. They have continuous access to hay through slow-feeder nets, plus 2–3 daily meals with varied hay and alfalfa (according to individual needs), customized concentrates, and supplements as needed. Automatic waterers ensure a constant supply of fresh, clean water. Horses are housed in large stalls with walkouts, enjoy daily paired or group turnout, and rotate through larger herd pastures – balancing individualized care with natural socialization.

Equine Transition Services:
Overview of our programs involved with rescue, rehabilitation, retraining, re-homing and/or retirement:
     Our New Horizons program provides a new beginning for retired racehorses and other horses in transition through retraining and re-homing. We are dedicated to preparing Thoroughbreds off the track (OTTBs) and other equines for safe, lasting adoptive homes.
     
     Each horse receives a comprehensive veterinary and behavioral evaluation and is placed into one of three individualized training paths: our Accelerated Training Program for those ready for quick adoption; our Standard Training Program for horses needing a longer adjustment; and our Companion Program for those best suited for non-riding homes. All horses begin with groundwork focused on handling, desensitization, and confidence. For those appropriate for ridden careers, professional trainers advance them under saddle through flatwork, trail, and discipline-specific exposure, always progressing according to readiness, not timeline.
     
     When adoption is not possible, we pursue retirement or permanent sanctuary placement. In rare cases where an equine’s quality of life cannot be preserved, we make the difficult but humane decision to pursue euthanasia in alignment with AAEP guidelines, ensuring dignity and freedom from suffering.
     
     On our website and in our outreach, we describe ourselves as a retraining and re-homing organization. We carefully screen adopters and provide post-adoption follow-up to ensure safe, lasting placements and use national adoption platform(s) to list our available horses.
Overview of our programs involved with providing outreach and/or public education programs involving horses:
     Healing Heroes Through Horsemanship provides public education and outreach programs designed to share the horse–human bond and increase awareness of equine welfare. Members of the community are invited to our ranch for tours, volunteer opportunities, and service projects, where they learn firsthand about the care and retraining of retired racehorses.
     
     In addition, Healing Heroes Through Horsemanship provides its Elite Vocations, a comprehensive ten-week (210-hour) vocational horsemanship program, for at-risk American Veterans. Participants engage in progressive unmounted instruction, beginning with grooming, safe handling, desensitization, and barn management, and advancing into equine health care, conditioning, and ground training. Elite Vocations follows a structured curriculum with defined competencies and assessments. We are licensed to deliver the Groom Elite curriculum (est. 2001), a nationally recognized horsemanship education program taught at racetracks, training centers, and farms across the country. Outcomes include improved confidence, social connection, reduced PTSD symptoms, and restored sense of purpose through consistent, respectful horse–human interaction. The program also prepares Veterans for equine industry employment (e.g., groom, barn assistant/manager, assistant trainer) and apprenticeships in farriery, equine massage, and veterinary technology.
     
     We serve Veterans experiencing homelessness or risk of homelessness, substance use recovery, and/or service-connected disabilities. All sessions are supervised by experienced equine professionals, with continuous monitoring of horse welfare and participant safety. We do not provide clinical therapy services.
     
     We also participate in local outreach events such as Veterans Stand Downs and community gatherings, where we highlight the role of horses in Veteran healing and the importance of safe retirement and adoption pathways for equines in transition. All of our adoptable horses are listed on the MyRightHorse website, which broadens public access and understanding of the adoption process. In 2024, we released a 40-minute documentary now shared at community events and online to further educate the public about the transformative impact of horse–human partnerships.
     
     We have begun expanding our outreach, with plans underway to significantly grow equine education and public engagement initiatives in 2026.

Research/Medical Use of Equines:

    If health records are not available or are out-of-date, our veterinarian will administer appropriate vaccinations
    A health certificate signed by a veterinarian and dated no more than seven days prior to arrival is provided to our organization either prior to or upon arrival of the equine attesting to the health status of the equine

Trial Period: Check all that apply:
    Equines are not taken on trial

Upon intake, the organization has the following quarantine policy in place:
    The equine is confined to a designated and separate area for isolation and quarantine at the facility for a prescribed period of time

The typical length of quarantine is:   Up to 10 days

Following arrival of the equine at the facility, the following is performed:
    Physical examination to include temperature, pulse and respiration by a veterinarian upon arrival
    Physical examination to include temperature, pulse and respiration by a trained staff member upon arrival
    A Henneke Body Conditioning Score or other body conditioning score is assigned by a veterinarian upon arrival

    Photographs are taken of each equine upon arrival at the facility and kept with the equine's health records
    Physical examination by a farrier
    Physical examination by a dentist
    The equine is microchipped if the equine has not been microchipped

Horses are assessed for following skills and behaviors:
    Retrieval from a pasture/paddock
    Leading with a halter and lead rope
    Temperament, disposition and attitude, such as rated from very calm to very high spirited
    Saddling
    Bridling

Our organization has the following policies and procedures in place pertaining to the weight-carrying or workload capabilities of horses/equines that are ridden in our care:
    Our organization evaluates the weight-carrying and workload limitations for each equine that is ridden at least annually

The following variables are considered in determining the weight-carrying and workload limitations for each equine that is ridden:
    Equine age, weight, breed, body condition, fitness, balance, health and soundness
    Equine conformation to include the top line, length of back, strength and width of loin, bone density (measured by the circumference of the cannon bone just below the knee)
    Size, shape, condition and angle of the hooves
    Participant weight, height, body proportions, balance, fitness and riding skills as well as behavioral issues and safety concerns
    Weight and proper fit of the saddle and other equipment
    Terrain and footing in the working environment
    Duration and frequency of working sessions, as the frequency with which an equine is subjected to maximum weight carrying and/or workload
    Nature and pace of work, repetitive or varied, radius of turns, degree of incline and regularity of footing when equine is subject to maximum weight-carrying capacity
    Temperature and/or weather conditions
    Seasonal impact on the equines' workload and weight-carrying capabilities and limitations


Horses provided formal training (groundwork or riding):   2-3 times per week

Additional information about our intake, assessment & training policies and practices:
The majority of our intakes come directly from racehorse owners, breeders, and trainers. We have also begun accepting owner surrenders and are moving into law enforcement impounds. Because these horses arrive in need, we would never return a horse. If a horse is not a good fit for our own programs, we collaborate with our partners to secure an appropriate alternative placement.
     
     Quarantine
     The majority of our horses are retired Thoroughbred racehorses (OTTBs). Upon arrival, they enter our designated quarantine pen for staff and veterinary assessment. If health records are available, vaccinations are current, and no signs of illness are present, horses typically move into our regular stalls after assessment. Horses lacking vaccinations are held until brought current, and any horse showing signs of illness remains in quarantine until cleared.
     
     Ongoing Health Assessment
     While our horses are generally adopted well before a year, they receive frequent veterinary evaluations from our veteriarian, and their body condition scores are regularly updated. Additionally, as part of our Veterans Vocational Horsemanship curriculum, participants are trained to monitor equine body condition, so horses are assessed daily for health, and every few weeks for body condition, as a standard part of handling and training.
     
     Training & Daily Care
     Horses in our program receive structured groundwork and ridden training three days per week, led by professional trainers and supported by Veterans in training. On two additional days, volunteers continue handling and exercise routines. All horses have daily turnout, routine grooming, and seasonal care such as fly spray, ensuring both their health and comfort are prioritized.

POLICIES: BREEDING

The organization has the following policies related to breeding and stallions:
    Our organization does not conduct breeding of equines owned or under the care of our organization.
    Our main facility where our organization conducts its programs does NOT breed equines.

Additional information about our breeding policies and practices:
Our organization does not breed and does not allow breeding of any equine in our care. In addition, our adoption contracts include a strict no-breeding clause for all mares. Any stallions that come into our program are gelded upon intake or prior to adoption. These safeguards ensure that horses placed through our program will not contribute to overbreeding and are adopted solely as companions, riding, or therapy partners.

POLICIES: EUTHANASIA

The organization has the following policies related to euthanasia:
    Our organization will never have an equine euthanized for space
    Our organization will have an equine euthanized upon the recommendation of the veterinarian if the equine is a threat to itself, other equines, or people
    Our organization will have an equine euthanized upon the recommendation of the veterinarian after all reasonable treatment options have been explored

    Disposal of the carcass is handled within 24 hours

The following are authorized to administer the procedure for your organization in accordance with state laws:
    Veterinarian

Additional information about our euthanasia policies and practices:
Our euthanasia and body disposal policies strictly follow the guidelines of the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) and all applicable California state laws. Euthanasia is considered only in cases of untreatable illness, injury, or severe quality-of-life concerns, and always performed by a licensed veterinarian.

POLICIES: RE-HOMING

View Re-homing Agreement

    Our organization will only re-home an equine to a location where another equine resides
    Potential adopters/purchasers must visit our organization and be observed with the equine on site
    The distance of a potential adopter/purchaser's home from our facility is a consideration for when re-homing an equine

Our organization has the following policies and procedures related to horses that need to be retired, are no longer able to contribute to the mission of the organization, and/or are no longer manageable:
    Equines may remain at our organization for their lifetimes
    Equines may be found suitable homes by our organization
    In the case an equine is unmanageable and demonstrates repeated dangerous behaviors, the equine may be euthanized upon the recommendation of the veterinarian
    In the case an equine is unsound and/or unhealthy and cannot be treated to relieve suffering, the equine may be euthanized upon the recommendation of the veterinarian
    The organization will accept financial responsibility for equines in the current care of the organization that need to be retired or are no longer able to contribute to the mission of the organization if all alternatives have been explored to find the equine an appropriate placement and space is not available for the equine to remain at the organization.

The uploaded Re-homing agreement includes the following re-homing (adoption/purchase) statements:
    The agreement reflects that any individual or organization in possession of the equine as of the date of the agreement and any time thereafter is bound to not sell the equine at auction for slaughter or allow the equine to be sold, transferred, released, or otherwise placed into possession of any person or organization that will cause or allow the equine to be sold at auction for slaughter.
    The agreement states that re-homed equines cannot be bred
    The agreement states that adopters/purchasers can return an equine to our organization free of charge

Our organization requires references from the following:
    Veterinarian
    Farrier
    Personal/Other

Transfer of ownership occurs:   Immediately (at the time of adoption/purchase) or less than one year

The average equine re-homing (adoption/purchase) fee received by your organization:
Over $1,500

Additional information about our rehoming policies and practices:
Our current agreement prohibits breeding, sale for slaughter, and neglect, while emphasizing trust in adopters who have been thoroughly vetted through reference checks, home checks, and interviews. We request ongoing updates and notification of any change in ownership, and we provide adopters with a lifetime safety net—our horses are always welcome back if circumstances change.
     
     To further safeguard our equines, all horses are implanted with LifeTrac microchips, which allow us to be notified if a horse ever enters an at-risk situation. In practice, our adopters remain in close contact, and we maintain strong, positive relationships that extend well beyond the adoption itself.
