Saratoga WarHorse

​Organization Overview

Saratoga WarHorse Foundation is a Veteran-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving Military Veterans and Service Members living with Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS) throughout the United States. Our participants’ trauma is most often a result of combat experiences, Military Sexual Trauma (MST), and/or transitioning from military to civilian life. We help  these Veterans to move past their trauma by partnering them with rescued and retired off-the-track Thoroughbred racehorses. We refer to our innovative approach to addressing PTS as the “Connection Process.”

Saratoga WarHorse has received numerous awards and accolades recognizing its innovative approach for helping Veterans with PTS. The VFW, American Legion, and numerous military medical centers have endorsed the Saratoga WarHorse program and highlighted it in numerous publications.  A case study by Advances in Mind-Body Medicine (2013) stated:

“The [Saratoga WarHorse] Connection Process creates an environment of mutual trust between man and horse. The benefits are profound: A sense of empowerment, decreased anxiety and depression, improved physical and social functioning… and increased resilience sustained over a 3-
month period and beyond.”
