Overview

Mission

To provide a place where america's disabled veterans can interact with each other and horses, be at ease, and build greater self-confidence, while developing a partnership with horses by using the harmony horsemanship's one hundred percent natural horse and human interaction methods of communicating. All our therapy horses are fully trained using harmony horsemanship training methods which enable veterans who have endured profound psychological wounds a unique opportunity to bond and relax with horses.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
