Volunteer Opportunities:What are volunteer opportunities?
Volunteer opportunities can be anything from scooping poop to cleaning grooming tools, to grooming the horses. Whatever we need help with each month! Our hope is to provide at least 1-2 each month, but this may vary depending on the amount of tasks available. No matter if you select to volunteer for a time with no hands-on horse time, in exchange for your time volunteering, we will always provide 15-20 minutes guided time with horses afterwards. Tasks usually will not take more than an hour at most to complete. What is the guided time with horses? Part of your volunteer tasks may work directly with the horses, but maybe not. We will always provide a FREE 15-20 minutes guided time with horses after tasks are completed that will look a lot like our Miniature Horse Lessons. You may upgrade to a full 45-60 minute lesson for a reduced cost if you'd like. Please let us know when you volunteer for a day/time slot if you'd like to upgrade. Am I committing to volunteer all the time? NO! The way it will work is: you sign up, we add you to a contact list and you fill out necessary waivers in the meantime. We'll send out an email each month to the email address you provide with a list of available volunteer opportunities with necessary information (tasks, duration, date, time, etc.). There is no obligation to volunteer and you can participate as little or as much as you want. If you are interested in a specific volunteer opportunity, you'll send us an email. We'll let you know if you've been selected and the list will be updated as slots are taken. Due to the nature of the volunteer opportunities, volunteers are not guaranteed an opportunity every time they are interested in one. How do I sign up? You'll need to fill out the contact form on this page or send us an email ([email protected]). |
Gift Needed Items:If working with horses isn't your thing, but you'd still like to help in some form, we sometimes have specific items that we're needing to better our activities here at the barn. If you or someone you know have any of the items on our list, please send us an email ([email protected]).
