If you are looking for a volunteer job to relax and decompress from your stress, you may have found your spot!
Pony Partners has 4 miniature horses that are used for therapeutic lessons at the farm. Two of them travel to school on Tuesday morning so we like to have them ready. That means Monday is really important. Our miniature horses don't work to hard physically with their young students, so they need some real exercise. It keeps them healthy and well trained for their jobs.
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY just a willingness to learn and get dirty. Lifting and other strenuous labor is also not required.
Our minis are sweet and gentle. They are a joy to spend time with.
