REAL CHANGE
MEASURABLE IMPACT
At Heroes and Horses, transformation isn’t just a goal—it’s a measurable reality. Our Program Impact Reports offer a transparent look into the outcomes, growth, and long-term success of our participants. Explore the data, stories, and milestones that define what’s possible when challenge becomes the path to change.
Redefining Impact
Through the Eyes of the Individual
Over the years, we explored various ways to capture data that reflected the depth of the Heroes and Horses experience. Yet, each attempt felt incomplete. Defining success for someone else is a common misstep—one we’ve been intentional to avoid. True transformation is personal, and we knew we needed a better approach to honor that truth.
Today, in partnership with FMG Leading, we’ve developed a process that empowers participants to define success for themselves following the 41-day program. This method allows for a more authentic understanding of impact, rooted in individual experience rather than external metrics. In the reports linked below, you’ll hear directly from participants as they reflect on their journey of transformation and growth.
Our goal is to present the full picture—holistic, honest, and free from bias. With a 93% response rate, the data collected offers both quantitative and qualitative insight into the program’s effectiveness. These findings guide improvements, inform capacity-building strategies, and most importantly, validate the life-changing nature of the work. We are continually inspired by the depth and honesty of these responses.

Uninterrupted Data
We value the importance of collecting data around the efficacy of our program, but we wanted to do something that was a little different than asking our participants to fill out questionnaires.
What we did, instead, was conduct interviews with each student on day 1 of the program, and then again on day 41 of the program. We took their recorded answers and we created this series of videos to showcase the transformation that happens during their time here with us at Heroes and Horses.
So, why the name “Uninterrupted Data”? Because everything you hear in these videos is the participant’s own thoughts, experiences and feelings – their answers aren’t interpreted by us, nor are they guided or influenced by our responses…it’s completely raw and uninterrupted.
