Legacy Farmstead was founded in February 2020 in Boerne, TX, by Firefighter/EMT John Henderson and his wife, Amy, with a mission to transform the lives of first responders and veterans struggling with post-traumatic and chronic stress. Their journey began through personal challenges and a heartfelt awareness of the heavy burdens carried by these heroes and their families. Inspired by their faith, John and Amy felt called to provide a place of healing, restoration, and hope.

They discovered the profound impact horses can have on human well-being and knew equine-assisted learning in a retreat-like setting was the key. God led them to the perfect location in the Texas Hill Country, where families could experience peace, rest, and freedom through His creation in a natural and nurturing way.

Since its founding, Legacy Farmstead has grown into a dedicated team with a shared passion for service. Their programs have expanded to include retreats, equine-assisted learning, resiliency training, critical stress debriefings, and peer support. By collaborating with other non-profits across multiple counties and fostering a strong sense of community, Legacy Farmstead continues to multiply its impact, offering healing and connection to those who have served and sacrificed.

At Legacy Farmstead, every family is welcomed into a community of care, where hope and healing take root and grow.
