Heros and Horses helps vets

Posted: June 11, 2018 by Elizabeth Wilson

Heroes and Horses is one of the most intense programs of its kind. The program is designed to create challenge by combing 40 days of intense riding on recently adopted wild mustangs in some of the most unforgiving mountains in Montana. "The interactions with horses and overcoming environmental challenges helps inspire guys to look inside and rediscover a new purpose for moving forward after military service," Stalzer said.

Stalzer, who is one of the founders of Axis Sports Medicine, worked with kids with physical disabilities at Camp Courage in Minnesota. "That was the first time I saw how much the interaction of a horse can impact a person," Stalzer said. "I spent 60 days riding with kids. Watching the changes that took place through those experiences was amazing."

In addition to volunteering his time, Steve's goal is to raise $14,700, which is the cost for one participant to attend the full program. He will be hosting a fundraiser with 10th Mountain Whiskey in Vail on Wednesday, June 13th. The event will include food, drinks, and a showing of the Yeti short film "One Eighty Out."

If would like to help, go to http://www.eventbrite.com and search for Whiskey for Warriors. Or donate at http://www.heroesandhorses.org. Be sure to write "Vail" or "Steve" or "10th Mountain Whiskey” in the comments as Stalzer is matching a percentage of all donations.
