❤️🇺🇸 What an AMAZING day at the farm! 🇺🇸❤️

Today we had the privilege of welcoming a wonderful group of senior military veterans to Peacefield Farms—and what a gift they were to us!

They arrived with smiles, positive attitudes, incredible stories, and so much gratitude simply for being able to spend the day at the farm. And honestly, we were the grateful ones. ❤️

One gentleman was visiting us for his second time, and this time he had one thing on his mind…

He wanted to ride. So ride he did! 🐴

And not just on any horse—he climbed aboard Admiral, one of the biggest horses at Peacefield Farm!

Standing over 18 hands tall, Admiral is a magnificent Belgian Heavy Draft who, in his previous “career,” was a logger.
These days, though, Admiral has a new specialty:
Making people feel loved. ❤️🐴

But there was another moment today that was especially meaningful.

One of our veterans, “B,” has spent much of his life around horses. Long before Alzheimer’s began making some things more difficult, horses were a huge part of his life. He cared for them, raised them, bred them, and spent countless hours involved with driving pacers and trotters in the harness racing world on Long Island.

Today, enter stage right, Luke. 🐴❤️

Luke seemed to know something about B before the two of them had even met.

There was a quiet connection between them today that was difficult to put into words. No explanation was needed.

No story had to be told. Just a man who has loved horses for most of his life—and a horse who seemed to recognize that love without a single word being spoken.

It was one of those moments that makes you stop, watch, and simply say, “Wow.”

There is something uniquely beautiful about horses.

They don't need our words. They can sense what is in us—and sometimes, they give us a way to connect when words aren't enough.

Today reminded us again that the horses aren't just part of what we do. They are part of the healing. ❤️🐴

And a huge THANK YOU to our incredible volunteers who come out, give their time, and pour their hearts into making days like today so special for our visiting heroes. And a big thanks to Stacy Bajza and Kathy Brennan Hart for your leadership and always keeping us keenly aware for safety's sake!

We are blessed to serve those who have served. 🇺🇸

Sometimes we think we're bringing the horses to the veterans.
Days like today remind us that the horses are bringing something to us, too. ❤️🐴🇺🇸

Volunteers Fran, Mike (9/11 First Responder) and Carol represented us at the annual Manville Thomas J. Kavanaugh VFW Post 2290 for the annual 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony and Veterans fair on Sunday September 13. Always good to connect with our sponsors and area Veterans.

9/10/26...it has been NINE years since the Project Horses for Forces team set out with a vision to connect our heroes, their spouses, and their families with Equine partners on the trail to healing, together as a community. And what a trail it has been! Thank you Ruth NL, for entrusting to us the carrying forward of the legacy of what we do! We are SO thankful to the many donors, friends, volunteers, and participants who have made this past 9 years what it has been, and may we continue on the trail for many more to come! Giddy up!

Today, on National Purple Heart Day, we honor the extraordinary courage and sacrifice of the men and women who were wounded or gave their lives in service to our nation. To every Purple Heart recipient: your bravery, resilience, and sacrifice will never be forgotten. Thank you for your service, your strength, and your enduring legacy. Join us today in recognizing these American heroes and reflecting on the true cost of freedom.
At Project Horses for Forces, we are reminded every day that healing takes many forms. Through the powerful bond between veterans and horses, we are privileged to support those who have carried the visible and invisible wounds of service.

Well, this week, we had a SUPER "Magic Bus" show up FULL of new participants, and WHAT A SPECIAL DAY IT WAS! We had a Seniors group out, and the connections made between our newest Veteran Participants at PHfF and our equine partners from Peacefield Farms was priceless! Thank you to all our Volunteers that prepared for this BIG day--we couldn't do it without your love, support, and dedication! It truly was the beginning of another wonderful chapter to the story of Veteran healing through horsemanship!

An absolutely awesome Monday "Boots" session where volunteers, participants, and our equine partners all practiced some "old" tricks, and some "new" ones too! What a wonderful day working as a team of teams! Thanks to all for making it a success for future successes!
