Personal Ponies charity is looking for some energetic responsible volunteers who would like to commit 1-2 hours a week to care for the six little therapy ponies at our West Boca Raton location. No experience necessary as I will train. Duties would include cleaning the stall, filling the buckets, bringing the ponies in for the night and feeding them. Our 6 therapy ponies have a very important job in the community so we need to take especially good care of them! LOTS of love in return for this special volunteer!!!
