Healing Trails
Throttle Therapy · New Braunfels, Texas

Find your way back on the trail.

Healing Trails Foundation gives veterans, first responders and families a place to ride, reconnect and rebuild identity after service, on dirt and on water, rooted in faith and community.

Why we exist

Service ends. Purpose doesn't have to.

Many who served come home and lose the team, the mission and the sense of who they are. We build that back with something simple: a throttle in your hand, people beside you who get it, and a God who never left.

Throttle Therapy uses dirt bikes, go-karts, electric surfboards and eFoils to get people outside, focused and moving. The ride opens the door. The fellowship afterward is what keeps people coming back.

“He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.”Psalm 23:3
Who we serve

Built for the people who show up for everyone else.

Veterans

Back with a unit again

Ride days that bring back structure, challenge and brotherhood for men and women who served.

First responders

A real decompression

Police, fire and EMS carry hard days home. A morning on the trail or the water gives the mind a reset.

Youth & families

Kids beside their heroes

Family ride days where children learn to ride safely and spend real time with the parents who serve.

Programs

Two seasons. One trail.

Central Texas lets us ride all year. We follow the weather: dirt when it’s cool, water when it’s hot.
