Horses 4 Heroes

This program is provided at no cost to participants and is specifically designed for veterans, active duty military, law enforcement personnel, first responders and their families. We offer hope and healing in a supportive and inclusive environment. Our staff personalizes each participants goals according to their individual needs and offers the opportunity to improve their physical, mental and emotional health.

Crossroads

This program will improve stability and expand support to children and their care takers to ensure every young person from foster care in Orange, Ulster and Sullivan County is ready to move forward in a positive direction. Bringing horses and youth together, in a one-on-one program, allows the child to build life skills and relationships that will aid them in healing from trauma, building resiliency and transitioning into a healthy adulthood.

Equine Assisted Learning

This program addresses a wide variety of needs and is customized to meet the specific therapeutic, mental health or educational goals of each participant. Some of these goals include learning strategies for overcoming anxiety and depression, identifying, regulating and improving moods, overall mental health, improving cognitive function and the ability to follow a specific set of multi-step instructions.

“My daughter and I have been volunteers at Victory Hill since their opening. Our time spent with both the horses and the students has been extremely inspirational and fulfilling. The horses receive exceptional care and the riders needs and safety are a top priority. I would recommended Victory Hill as a therapy barn or private lessons in a heartbeat.”

– Karyn C.

“Victory Hill has been an absolute blessing to my family. My husband (NYC Firefighter) deals with a roller coaster of emotions and PTSD from work. I can see a very obvious change in his attitude and demeanor since he started working with Mercury (his favorite horse) and Laurie. He’s much more relaxed and aware of how his body language affects the harmony in our household. I have VH to thank for that but also for the changes I am seeing in my son. … I could go on and on about the amazing things happening to us because of Victory Hill!”

– Ariana V.

“This organization came at a perfect time for my daughter. With being home from school everyday, getting out on the farm with Laurie really helped her blossom during a difficult time! My daughter has learned so much not just about the animals on the farm but also great life lessons. I highly recommend anyone who has any interest in being on a farm to give Laurie a call and see what program would work for your needs.”
