NSBA Foundation Heroes on Horses

Spring will soon be in the air, especially at Westworld in Scottsdale. Horses with Heart veterans will participate in Heroes on Horses on March 6th during the Sun Circuit show. Additional information is available at: https://www.suncircuit.com/heroes-on-horses/

HwH veterans may ride in the walk-trot Western pleasure class with fellow veterans from therapeutic riding centers in Arizona. HwH veterans who want to participate but do not want to ride are invited and encouraged to march in the inspirational Parade of Heroes. This is an awesome opportunity to meet fellow veterans from across the country.

Riding veterans may choose to use their own horse, a loaned horse, or a HwH horse. All horses will need a Coggins test and health certificate. For more information, please contact the HwH Office at 928-533-9178.

National Anthem sung by Alan Jackson
