Supporting Local Veterans and Their Families - Through the Healing Power of Horses

This Independence Day, as we celebrate freedom, we are also honoring the people who've fought to protect it-our local veterans and their families.
According to the 2023 U.S. Census, more than 7,300 La Crosse County residents are military veterans. These are our neighbors, friends, and family. At HorseSense we are proud to stand besides them through out HorseSense for Heroes Program.
This program offers more than just riding lessons. It is a chance for veterans-and their loved ones-to reconnect, heal, and grow through the quiet strength of a horse. Some come to work through PTSD in a calm, non-judgmental space. Others regain mobility, rebuild trust, and simply share meaningful time with their families at the barn.
Your impact goes beyond just the saddle. Riders often experience better balance, coordination, and motor skills. Many also show improved focus, communication, and decision-making -- along with a boost in self confidence and independence. Families have the opportunity to connect in new way and build a relationship through a new and unique activity. All of this is made possible by donors like you and we need your support to continue this life-changing program.
Will you help us strengthen our community and give back to those who gave so much?
