Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue is looking for outdoorsy, animal loving folks who would enjoy helping on the farm! We are open 7 days a week and have a morning and an evening shift to chose from. Please take the time to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the farm and the company of over 100 lovely draft horses! This is a unique volunteering experience as our volunteers are able to interact and work with the horses in a very hands-on and independent manner. We welcome volunteers of all experience levels. Experience with horses is not required, we are happy to train you.
Additional opportunities for those with carpentry skills, and also for those who are already equestrians. You must be 13 years of age or older, and all minors must be accompanied by a parent while volunteering.

Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue was formed to facilitate the rescue of draft and draft-cross horses from slaughter, abuse, and neglect.

GGDHR promotes the benefits and uses of draft horses of all breeds as trail mounts, schooling mounts, and competition mounts. We educate the public through the use of brochures, pamphlets, and public presentations on the topics of horse slaughter and cruelty, the responsibilities of horse ownership, the over-population and over-breeding of horses, and how over-breeding contributes to the horse slaughter industry.
