Share Your Voice: Operation Horses Heal’s 2026 Programming Survey for Veterans and Military Families

Help Shape Our 2026 Season with Operation Horses Heal

As we begin planning for the 2026 season, we want to hear from you! At Operation Horses Heal, we offer equine programs for Veterans and military families that create meaningful opportunities to connect with the herd, nature, and one another. Our mission is simple but powerful: Operation Horses Heal brings inclusive support to Veterans, active service members, and their immediate families through equine-related activities.

Our vision is to create a space where Veterans, active service members, and their immediate families can relax, rejuvenate, and be themselves. We hope to improve and enrich their lives and well-being to reduce Veteran suicide one person at a time.

Every year, our equine programs for Veterans and Military Families events are guided by what matters most to the people we serve — and that starts with listening to your feedback. Whether you’ve visited the farm, volunteered at one of our community events, or simply support our mission from afar, your voice helps shape our direction for the upcoming year.

Why Your Feedback Matters

Your input helps us understand what kinds of experiences are most meaningful to you. Maybe time with the herd has helped you slow down and reconnect. Maybe a moment around the campfire reminded you of the camaraderie you’ve missed. Or perhaps you have ideas for how we can bring even more opportunities to connect with horses, nature, and one another.

When you share your thoughts, it helps us build programming that truly reflects the needs and interests of our community. Your feedback also helps us identify challenges — like scheduling, transportation, or accessibility — so we can make it easier for everyone to participate.

It’s also important for us to share how we use your feedback. The insights you provide help us communicate with our partners, funders, and supporters who believe in our mission. Every comment and idea you share helps us continue providing our services completely free to Veterans, active service members, and their immediate families — including brothers, sisters, parents, children, and spouses or partners.
