Stockhands Horses for Healing provides veterans and first responders with equine-assisted activities, while also helping connect participants to critical support services beyond the arena.

As part of our 2026 Heroes’ Ball, an event honoring those who serve—we are introducing a friendly fundraising competition between military branches and first responder agencies (Fire, Law Enforcement, and EMS). The goal: to raise funds that support the no-cost services provided at Stockhands.

In the weeks leading up to the event, supporters can donate in honor of their chosen branch or department. Donations will be tracked by team, and winners in each category, Military Branches and First Responders, will earn bragging rights at the 2026 Heroes’ Ball.

Stockhands provides all services to Veterans and First Responders at no cost. Every dollar raised goes toward supporting Stockhands ability to continue offering these no cost services within the community, and all donations are 100% tax deductible.
