I have been volunteering with HBH for 4 years now and it is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Horses Bring Hope provides a stress-free environment, with the opportunity to work with horses and children. HBH is very accommodating to all individuals, and if you really want to volunteer with them, they will make sure that they find a job that suits you the best. HBH has changed my life from not wanting to do much of anything to wanting to be at the barn all the time. HBH isn't very strict, and provides a fun atmosphere while emphasizing safety at all times. There is no person that has not been able to volunteer with HBH. HBH allows people of all ages and abilities to become a volunteer. There have been people that are not physically able to do the barn chores, but really wanted to volunteer, so they got involved in some of the office work. HBH is the best place to volunteer in my opinion because you get to have fun at your job and get to meet amazing people and help changelives
