Volunteer

We would love to have you join our volunteer team!  Please be advised that our volunteer program is not a good fit for a one time or short-term endeavor.  Because we expend resources in orientation, training, and scheduling new volunteers, we ask for a minimum of a four hours each week over a two-month commitment.  Our daily routine shifts are 9 am to 1 pm and 2 pm to 6 pm.  We will consider exceptions to this in some circumstances (i.e. community service hours).

Below are areas of duties, and each may include:

• Caring for Horses: feeding, filling and distributing hay bags, maintaining cleanliness of the barn, stalls, shelters, waterers, and paddocks, cleaning feet, grooming horses, hand walking horses, cleaning feed/tack room, etc.
• Admin Duties: updating health records, correspondence, etc.
• Fundraising Events: coordinating and working at offsite trail rides, tack sales, golf tournaments, etc.
• Marketing: create story boards, public speaking, assist at merchandise and/or “show and tell” tables, photography, conducting visitor tours, etc.
• Grounds: weed whacking, trimming trees, mowing, fence repairs, etc.
• Volunteer Program: recruiting, conducting orientations, etc.

 We strive to ensure the safety of all animals and humans at all times. Therefore: 

• Volunteers 13 – 17 years of age may volunteer only if their parent or guardian supervises them at all times.  This basically means the parent or guardian becomes a volunteer as well.
• We regret that we are unable to allow children younger than 12 years of age to volunteer.
