This unforgettable evening brings together community, celebration, and purpose in support of our veterans and first responders.

 Join us for an unforgettable fall tradition. In partnership with Serendipity Vineyards, the Harvest for Heroes Market brings together community, craftsmanship, and purpose for a day of connection and giving back.

More than a market, this event is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact. A portion of proceeds from every vendor supports War Horses for Veterans that helps veterans, active military, and first responders through programs that foster resilience, growth, and connection.

We look forward to welcoming you each fall as this event continues to grow in impact and community.

 Each year, our War Horses Challenge brings together a select group of returning participants as part of our Tier 2 Legends Program, an opportunity to continue their growth, deepen their skills, and step back into the arena with purpose.

These riders represent the next level of commitment, building on the foundation of the program through advanced training, discipline, and leadership. Their time in the show pen is more than an exhibition; it is a reflection of resilience, teamwork, and the continued pursuit of excellence both in and out of the saddle.

Hosted during the Open Futurity Finals, this annual event showcases what is possible when growth is sustained, challenged, and supported over time.

Join us as we cheer on these riders and celebrate the strength, grit, and progress that define the Legends Program.

 Each Veterans Day, we open the gates of the ranch to honor the men and women who have served our country.

This annual gathering is a time to come together in gratitude, share a meal, and reflect on the strength, sacrifice, and camaraderie that define our veteran community. Surrounded by the quiet power of the horse and the land, we create space for connection, purpose, and continued healing.

To every man and woman who has served, thank you. Your courage continues to inspire everything we do.
