Horse Soldier Program

The Horse Soldier Program develops mounted mobility for modern operations. Each engagement is written around the organization, the mission, the terrain, the animals, and the people doing the work.

Custom program

The mission comes first.

Horses and mules can extend access and mobility where vehicles are limited. Using them well requires horsemanship, packing, field judgment, and operational integration.

Intended audience

Professional organizations

Participation is limited to verified government personnel, law enforcement officers, first responders, search and rescue personnel, and approved public safety organizations.
