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.

Mission Statement

Pony Partners is a 501 C 3 nonprofit organization in Louisa, Virginia, that brings people together with miniature horses through horsemanship activities to help children and adults discover their uniqueness and strengths, improve self-esteem and build confidence, while experiencing the unconditional acceptance these gentle horses offer.

Description

The purpose of Pony Partners is...

  • To provide opportunities for children and adults to learn basic unmounted horsemanship;
  • To help children and adults discover their uniqueness, improve self-esteem and build confidence while enjoying the unconditional acceptance of their horse friend(s).
  • To provide children and adults opportunities to participate in activities designed to enhance and build on each person’s natural curiosity and creativity and to develop strengths to thrive in life.
We have children and families come as individuals or as school groups to enjoy time with the ponies. Each person comes with different interest, hopes and goals. No matter what the ponies offer unconditional love, genuine interest and support each person as they are in the moment.

Volunteers help keep the ponies and our farm ready with grooming, stall cleaning, grounds maintenance and some training and other tasks. Some volunteers help with events, fundraising, grant applications and more.
