We need volunteers currently to finish painting our fence and staining our arena. This could be something that 2 people could work on in any time frame that would work for you. On a regular basis we need volunteers who do daily chores around the barn: mucking stalls, cleaning up the pastures, cleaning and filling water bins, organizing barn, dusting, sweeping, cleaning saddles and tack, making repairs when needed and daily care of the horses. For this we usually have volunteers come for any amount of time they can contribute between the hours of 10-2. This would be for Tues, Wed and Thurs.
