Mission Massage 2026 kicked off this month with sweet Tugg as the very best model. As an educational center, adding classes like these for our Veterans aids in growing well-rounded horsemen. It is also a wonderful way to show our herd some much deserved love. The group has focused on equine anatomy, learning skeletal landmarks, and having the opportunity to find these and learn their importance. The group is back tomorrow and looking forward to Emma sharing more of her knowledge with us!

Here are some of our extraordinary therapists in action with Poptart at this week’s training for all our instructors, therapists, and CAP volunteers to review best practices for safe mounts and dismounts. Continuing education is integral and we are so thankful for our dedicated team taking the time to always advance their skills as we prepare for our next session block to begin this Monday. ❤️

Last night, BraveHearts hosted our Annual Volunteer Recognition Night honoring our tremendous volunteer community for their service in 2025. We were blessed to recognize more than 130 people for their tremendous efforts in supporting our programs and farms last year. The passion for the BraveHearts mission was palpable in the room and we are so grateful for each of you!

Additionally, we’d like to acknowledge and sincerely thank all those who weren’t able to attend in person. We also recognize so many extraordinary people who help from behind the scenes from hauling horses across the country, to staff who work beyond their hours required, to industry experts who donate their time to our mission. It’s taken decades to have the innovative design and substantial educational opportunities for developing and impacting volunteers to support our operations. Last year our volunteer community gave nearly 32,000 hours which equated to approximately $1,113,000 per the Points of Life valuation. We couldn’t do all we do without our entire volunteer community and we sincerely thank YOU!

Also, a special shout out to our team who collectively brought last night’s event to life and to our world class therapy horses who make ALL we do possible.

If you’ve been waiting for your chance to join our Volunteer team, this is it! 🌟 Mark your calendars to join our next volunteer orientation at 5:30pm at our Poplar Grove location on Tuesday, March 3rd.

Attention Veterans!
It's blackout week! What's on your calendar? How about coming out to the barn and giving back to BraveHearts tomorrow, (Friday, February 20th) from 12-2pm at our Poplar Grove location.

ALL Veterans welcome (even those who haven't attended a new volunteer training yet)! This is a great opportunity to still get in some barn time during Blackout week, grow community, and spend time taking care of our herd's home.

How we envision conversations in the barn as the horses plan their blackout week schedule & enjoying some much deserved time off. On-horse programming will resume back up on Monday, February 23rd for our 7-week Winter Block. 💛
