VOLUNTEER FAQ
-
No horse experience is needed. We need side walkers and barn help that does not require horse experience. We also can train willing wranglers.
-
Sessions are 55 minutes long and take place in the covered arenas, outdoor spaces and along the trails with uneven ground. Most session time is spent walking and requires being able to navigate the farm's terrain.
-
We ask that you do at least 2x/month once you are trained. Most of our team will commit to a morning or afternoon a week. Some sign up for multiple days. We also need some weekend help for those that work during the week.
