Limited-edition Wholesome Blends® Patriotic Horse Treats help fund
life-changing PATH International Equine Services for Heroes®programs across the country.
For Immediate Release
UPPER SANDUSKY, Ohio, and WESTMINSTER, CO (June 2, 2026) — In a proud joint salute to America’s 250th anniversary, Tribute Equine Nutrition and the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH Intl.) today announced a national partnership to support military veterans and active-duty personnel. Throughout the summer of 2026, a portion of the proceeds from every Tribute product purchased will be donated directly to the PATH International Equine Services for Heroes® initiative.
“Our nation’s 250-year story of freedom is built upon the courage and sacrifice of our military service members,” said Kat Riggs at Tribute Equine Nutrition. “At Tribute, we are deeply honored to celebrate this landmark anniversary by giving back to our nation’s heroes. By partnering with PATH Intl., we can directly support healing, strength, and community for veterans through the profound bond between people and horses. We look forward to rallying our network of dealers and social media communities to champion this important cause.”
To anchor the initiative, Tribute is releasing a special, festive summer product designed for horse owners who want to celebrate with a purpose. The limited-edition Tribute Wholesome Blends® Patriotic Horse Treats feature red, white, and blue sprinkles. The treats are 100% soy-free and safely made in Tribute’s ionophore-free manufacturing facilities.
Funds raised from the sale of every Tribute product will support the PATH International Equine Services for Heroes® program. This crucial initiative assists military personnel and veterans of any age, branch, or conflict era. Through PATH Intl. Member Centers and credentialed professionals, veterans participate in mounted and unmounted equine-assisted services, including adaptive riding, carriage driving, therapy incorporating equines and equine-assisted learning. These activities have been shown to help veterans overcome physical and post-traumatic emotional challenges, regain mobility, improve strength and coordination, and re-establish vital social ties.
“PATH Intl. is incredibly grateful to Tribute Equine Nutrition for choosing to honor America’s 250th anniversary by investing in the lives of our veterans,” said Kevin Price, PATH Intl. CEO. “Equine-assisted services provide a unique path to peace and rehabilitation for veterans navigating PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, and physical limitations. This generous partnership will help expand our reach, allowing more veterans to experience the life-changing benefits that horses uniquely provide, right in their own local communities.”
