You know the old saying "The family that....................stay together"! Well we have another one for you:
The family that mucks out and looks after rescued horses together, stay together. Catchy huh?
We would love you to come join us, and our other family volunteers, in helping with the care and welfare of our rescue horses. And it's not a one sided activity. Children of all ages will benefit from the interaction and personal development. Our horses love their human carers, and provide a stress free environment away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Come and try us out, and you won't be disappointed. We respect the requirements for Covid safety by letting you work within your bubble and maintaining social distancing and masks (where necessary) in the proximity of others. Many of our volunteers wear masks anyway because of the hay and dust, which with high allergen levels can cause problems. Horse and farm work experience is appreciated but not essential. We will provide all the necessary training. However if you have any of the skills listed we would be delighted.

Description
The White Bird Appaloosa Horse Rescue is a Virginia 501(c)3 non-profit corporation dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of abused, neglected and at-risk Appaloosa and other horses, especially those in urgent need and in danger of slaughter. We provide shelter, care, medical and rehabilitation services to horses in need, and whenever possible, we place them in loving and permanent homes. Horses that cannot or should not be adopted are given permanent sanctuary so that they may live the remainder of their lives in safety and dignity. Horses in the care of White Bird Appaloosa Horse Rescue are housed at the main intake farm at Burkeville, VA as well as affiliate foster farms. Here, they are loved and cared for by unpaid volunteers who generously donate their time and talent.
