The One-Eighty Out Campaign
2020 - 2025
Since 2014, Heroes and Horses has been committed to thoughtful and intentional program development that offers combat Veterans a new paradigm for healing and personal growth. After six successful program seasons made possible by partnerships with local ranchers, in early 2020 Heroes and Horses launched the One-Eighty Out Campaign with the goal of establishing a permanent home base for the program that would allow for program growth and expansion, organizational sustainability, and the creation of a one-of-a-kind human development center for combat Veterans in the United States.
Your donation is an investment in the long-term sustainability of Heroes and Horses, our philosophy, and program approach ensuring a continued social return on investment that extends well beyond the Veterans we serve each year.
PHASE 1: COMPLETE!
In late 2020, Heroes and Horses closed on a 3500-acre ranch located just west of Virginia City, Montana. The Double-H Ranch is nestled between the Ruby and Madison Valleys in the foothills of the Greenhorn Mountains and has been a welcome permanent home for our program and herd!
PHASE 2: COMPLETE!
Phase 2 is nearing completion and includes all the infrastructure needed to introduce our students to their equine partners and develop their horsemanship skills. The facilities include a corral system, 3 round pens for groundwork and colt starting, and a 100’ x 200’ indoor arena for riding instruction and roping. The indoor arena and tack room will be completed in June 2022 – just in time for the 2022 season!
PHASE 3: In Progress
Phase III will begin in winter 2022 and includes the student cabins and the lodge. The lodge will serve as the heart of the ranch – a central gathering space for discussion and collaboration among Veteran-serving organizations, Veterans, community members, and policy leaders throughout the country creating an epicenter for innovative and transformative dialogue for change.
