We have completed our first 8 weeks horsemanship series with our participants reconnecting with fellow Veterans, their families, and volunteers, and of course, the fabulous horses at Peacefield Carriage LLC.
Sessions focused on groundwork and nonverbal communication as the groups build on their skills and learn more about the effect of their bodies and emotional states on the horses.
2026 is off to a wonderful start! Thank you to all that have made it happen—horses, volunteers, our veterans, and their families! Amazing opener.

We are so grateful for donors like the Carl D Archer American Legion Post 528 of Belvidere, who have stood by us over many years! And what a privilege and honor to host 5 member Veterans at the farm to witness first-hand what we do and enjoy a time of sharing with our Veterans and volunteers over lunch. Post Commander Charlie Rothenbeck, has also been a volunteer with Project Horses for Forces for many years.
~~ We are grateful for your continued service in the community ~~

Veterans Tommy (USMC), Dennis (USA) and Carol (USN), set up a Horses for Forces information table at the 2nd Annual Veterans Fair of Warren County, with over 60 vendors attending. They enjoyed seeing volunteers Kenny (USA) and Linda, Charlie (USA) representing the American Legion Post 528, Joe (USA), and Erik (USA) there, and reconnected with Corey (USMC), now running the Veterans program at Centenary.
A great event with lots of friendly faces and great resources for veterans!
