The Three Forks Saddlery is auctioning off this one-of-a-kind patriotic saddle to support the mission of Heroes and Horses, a veteran non-profit based in Montana.
The transformation that unfolds during the Heroes & Horses 41-day program isn’t a rigid formula, or a checklist of steps leading to a predetermined result. Instead it's about creating a space for these guys, it's the room needed to genuinely explore who they are, to confront themselves in the most uninfluenced way possible. It’s when you start to observe details like the dust rising from a horse’s back as you brush it, or the birds who fly over The Rockhouse as you do your morning routine. The space created allows for a moment where everyday actions become profound, where grooming a horse can transcend the ritual and become an intimate dialogue with yourself. It’s something you can’t learn in a book or by watching a video on your phone, but rather the slow accumulation of scuffs on your boots as you walk the hills between high camp and breakfast—each mark tells a story, each step reveals a truth. This experience, which is the only way to describe this, is crafted to give your mind the freedom it longs for. A chance to reveal the answers you've been searching for, that ultimately has always been inside you. Everyday is an opportunity, every hardship, every failure and success leads to change. If one thing is guaranteed, it is that these guys will experience change. All proceeds go to support Heroes and Horses.
