A wonderful benefit and art-collecting opportunity is currently underway in Santa Fe, New Mexico, featuring a number of stunning equine artworks available for purchase. There’s an added incentive as well. Details here!

What could be better than to walk away with a beautiful work of art knowing your purchase also helps benefit the Cowboy Up! Program? McLarry Modern in conjunction with Horses For Heroes — New Mexico, Inc. is currently hosting an art auction through December 23 in which proceeds from the event will help the heroes who have served our country.

Many of the nation’s top painters have generously donated their works for this opportunity. The beneficiary, Cowboy Up!, is “a unique horsemanship, wellness and skillset restructuring program based in Santa Fe, New Mexico,” the organization writes. “It is free to all post 9/11 veterans and active military persons and tailored to those who have sustained PTSD, physical injuries, or have experienced combat trauma. Promoting healing with the use of horses has become one of the most beneficial and cost-effective ways for today’s veterans suffering with PTSD.”
