Connection is at the heart of all we do

Our Mission

HERD Foundation’s Mission is to provide equine-assisted services as a prevention program designed to empower individuals to achieve personal development through connected relationships between humans and horses.

Programs

HERD Foundation launched our programs as a proactive response to the growing need for services that promote social and emotional well-being among the military Veteran population of Palm Beach County, Florida. Consistent with our mission, our experiential equine-assisted learning programs for Veterans are designed to empower individuals to achieve personal development through connected relationships between humans and horses. Connection and belonging are the driving force behind everything we do at HERD Foundation, including our work with Veterans.
