About Us

Our Mission, Purpose, and Goal

Our Mission

The Buffalo soldiers of Seattle are a Non profit community outreach program. That focuses on the teachings of History, Horsemanship and Outdoorsmanship. Our mission is to educate and reduce barriers facing our youth and community. Mental health is a crucial issue that needs to be addressed among teens and adults.

We believe with our horses, teachings of history and outdoor experiences we can make a change mentally and emotionally.

As we interact with communities and youth, Our Purpose is to inform and expand their horizons to show that life is far more than what is in front of us and create meaningful avenues and connections that change lives.

Our Goal is to be a positive change agent in the community. We welcome inclusion, fair equity, and advocate for diversity. We also support many causes and communities in the Northwest including the USO, GEM Program, and Renton School District to name a few.

How We Connect

We ignite the human spirit through horsemanship, historical preservation, and outdoor activities, while focusing on educating the community.

At our appearances we give free horseback rides to anyone. The kids love this! (So do the Adults). Its part of How We Connect. Often, it is an urban youth's first time interacting with a horse! it is a experience they never forget and is a catalyst for adventure and imagination. As Buffalo Soldiers, we embody the legacy that is the 9th/10th Cavalry and present a missing piece of the history puzzle for our audience.

Why Do We Do It

The reason Why We Do It is simple. We love history, we love our horses, we love the youth and our audiences. In our appearances in Washington, and throughout the nation, we proudly represent the forgotten heroes of the American West and strive to represent them to the best of our abilities
