The weekend primarily is dedicated to erecting two tents and horse fencing, and clearing trails for biking, hiking, running and horseback riding. We'll work from 9 a.m. to noon daily, take a lunch break and then resume working at 1 p.m.
If you're OK being outdoors, walking through woods, using hand tools and have a pair of gloves, we could use your help. We have many other more routine volunteer options, as well, and accept volunteers daily.
We'll feed you in exchange for your help. Better yet, we'd love to have a volunteer donate food for our volunteers. We'll also provide hand warmers and foot warmers.
Dress in layers, and wear boots, if you have them.
At 4 p.m., Jan. 19, we'll have a community demonstration of how The PEACH Pit incorporates horses into our counseling sessions.
Finally, we sure could use donated supplies and materials. Paint, nails, tools, hammers, everything.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to tap into the naturally reflective nature of horses to help you overcome obstacles to a happy and healthy life. To help you help yourself. Our vision is to ensure you feel emotionally and physically safe enough to allow a horse to serve as part of your counseling and therapy team so you can walk away from the experience feeling more empowered to make changes.
Description
The PEACH Pit Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation that works to help you help yourself.
Most sessions are unmounted, with you on a journey of self-discovery with our horses.
We believe true change in behaviors and patterns happens when you’re challenged and outside of your comfort zone.
When participating in hands-on equine-assisted therapy, you’ll be able to better understand how your current behavior and pattern may be unhealthy and to practice changing those that aren’t working for you.
We believe it’s our job to create the environment that empowers you to find your own answers based on your strengths.
Established in 2014 in Middle Georgia, we work closely with The Peach County Equine-Assisted Counseling and Health Center (The P.E.A.C.H. Center LLC), which provides counseling in a traditional setting.
