Every opportunity of volunteer time that I have donated makes a huge difference in the life of a rescued horse or pony and the education and knowledge that I have gained from this experience has been priceless. It is such a great feeling to know that "I may have made a difference that day for one of the rescues" and helped to make them feel more loved or even just comfortable for a bit. Yes, it is a dirty job and you will get messy, but it is worth it and the hope is that you will leave feeling accomplished and look forward to coming back again and again :)! This is surely an opportunity to allow for flexibility with your schedule and availability. They also allow for you to earn a 30 minute riding lesson for every so many hours that you volunteer. It is a win win for everyone!
