Opportunity Details
We are in need of people to help out with general horse care. Duties include feeding horses, some mucking, interacting with horses (after volunteer training) and more depending on experience.
We are a self-sustaining non-profit that relies on donations and fundraisers to meet our expenses. These include paying for hay, vet and farrier visits, supplements, horse tack, and all utilities.
Our horse rescue has made a commitment to be open to anyone who wishes to be a volunteer, regardless of their finances, or their gender, ethnicity, or LGBTQ+. No one is turned away, but we do ask volunteers to pledge what they can to help keep our rescue afloat.
Currently we have a sliding scale of $10-$60 per volunteer per month, which allows us to meet a bare-bones budget. With that in mind, everyone pays according to their ability; some pay more, some pay less. We ask that your pledge be considered your commitment to helping rehabilitate these majestic, therapeutic animals.
You’ll also receive on the job training, horsemanship classes, horse anatomy, and much more at no extra charge.
If you are interested in this small volunteer opportunity, please tell us a little about yourself and your experience if any with horses. Many of our rescue horses have been neglected, abused or suffered trauma at the hands of people. It is our job to help them trust humans again and provide stability in their lives so they can be adopted by loving people in the future.
We have years of experience helping troubled horses and consistency is key so we do require all volunteers to attend an orientation session before being considered, and for you to decide whether our rescue is a good fit for you.
