About Charlie Five
Our Mission
At Charlie Five, we believe in the healing power of connection—between people, animals, and the land.
We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting qualified veterans and first responders by pairing them with their very own horse. Through this unique and powerful bond, we aim to foster emotional healing, improve mental wellness, and create lifelong companionship.
But Charlie Five is more than just a horse placement program.
We offer a deeper connection to the western way of life, rooted in purpose, grit, and tradition. Our participants become part of a supportive community where they can rediscover themselves through mentorship, hands-on experiences, and programs designed to build confidence, resilience, and hope.
Whether you're a veteran, a first responder, or someone who believes in the power of this mission—you're welcome here.
This is where healing begins. This is Charlie Five.
Our Theory
Equine-assisted therapy programs are growing—and for good reason: they work.
From Veterans living with PTSD to children with developmental disabilities, those who have spent time with horses understand the healing power they offer. Once a horse connects with your soul, it’s as if the rest of the world fades away.
Charlie Five is built on that truth. Born from personal experience, our program is dedicated to serving fellow Veterans and First Responders by extending the benefits of equine therapy beyond the arena. Our mission is simple but powerful: to provide horses to qualifying Veterans and First Responders who have completed equine therapy, allowing them to continue their healing journey and personal growth independently.
Our Objective
- To provide Veterans and First Responders with a horse —a personal therapy or service animal that continues to support their healing, growth, and independence.
- To enhance the lives of our heroes through the transformative power of horsemanship, building confidence, connection, and purpose through working with horses.
- To create a strong, supportive community where Veterans and First Responders with shared experiences can bond over a common passion: the horse.
- To challenge and inspire engagement by offering programs and activities that reignite the spirit, restore resilience, and renew the sense of service within our community.
