Welcome Home

Everyone deserves a place they can call home.

Operation Forward Movement (OFM) is our initiative for veterans and active-duty service members, offering opportunities to work with horses, build relationships, explore new interests, develop skills, and become part of a community where everyone has something to contribute.

── Four Pillars. Many Opportunities ──

Operation Forward Movement is guided by the Charlie • Echo • Golf • Sierra (CEGS) framework:

​

CONNECT • EMPOWER • GROW • SERVE

​

These are not steps that everyone must complete in a particular order. They are connected parts of an initiative that encourages relationships, achievement, continued learning, and opportunities to give back.​

Your Experience. Your Pace

There is no single path through Operation Forward Movement.

​​​

What matters is having opportunities to connect, try something new, accomplish something meaningful, and continue moving forward.

​

Success looks different for everyone. Every achievement matters.

Home base

Connect

I am not alone.

Home Base brings veterans and active-duty service members together through Horses & Heroes Coffee Hour, meet and greets, open houses, community events, and opportunities to get to know the ranch.

Beyond the gate

Empower

I did it, I can do more.

Beyond the Gate offers structured programs and hands-on experiences that encourage veterans and active-duty service members to explore new interests, take on challenges, develop skills, and recognize their own accomplishments.

Roots & resilience

Grow

I'm ready for what's next.

Roots & Resilience brings veterans and active-duty service members into the everyday life of the ranch through gardening, animal husbandry, ranch stewardship, hands-on projects, and opportunities to share knowledge.

Quartermaster

Serve

I have purpose.

Quartermaster brings that spirit of service into the community through volunteer opportunities, outreach, food and clothing drives, sharing the Seeds of Strength harvest, and supporting fellow veterans, military families, and veteran-serving organizations.

── Stronger Together ──

Horses Healing Hearts is proud of the relationships we have built with veteran-serving organizations and community partners.​ Through Operation Forward Movement, we continue working alongside organizations that share our commitment to supporting veterans, active-duty service members, and military families.

​

We believe that when organizations work together, share resources, and support one another, we can accomplish far more than any one organization can alone.
