Windhaven’s mission is to utilize the mutually beneficial human-Equine relationship to promote healing for Veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and other service-related injuries. There is no cost to Veterans or active duty personnel for these services. We are 100% volunteer run and operated. The care and maintenance of our horses is funded through donations.
