Volunteer Orientation

Horses for Hope is recruiting volunteers for our programs! We welcome individuals and families. Children ages 5-12 must volunteer with a parent and responsible teens may volunteer on their own. We are happy to confirm volunteer hours for your school or employer. Please sign up here for Volunteer Orientation. We need people to groom and tack up horses, serve as horse leaders, sidewalkers and coaches, get horses from the pasture and do general barn chores. No horse experience is required, we will train you!

We were forced to suspend some of our programs last spring due to COVID and are excited to announce that we are resuming our Seasonal Therapeutic Riding program on March 14th! We will have new COVID procedures in place to help protect volunteers, staff, and riders. All volunteers, new or returning, will need to attend an orientation session. Therapeutic horseback riding changes lives! Sign up here!

    We Couldn’t Do It Without Our Volunteers!

    Posted on by

    Saturday was another hay delivery day and our fantastic volunteers worked under a Carolina blue sky to get this load put in the hay loft. Do you know horses need to eat 1.5-2% of their body weight in forage a day? All that hay keeps their digestive system working at peak efficiency. The digestive process generates heat and along with their remarkable winter coats keeps them warm even when it’s well below freezing.  During the winter our herd eats 8-10 bales of hay a day!

      

     

     

    Check out Pete’s fuzzy wuzzy winter coat! Those warm winter coats aren’t as effective when they are caked with mud. Thanks to our volunteers for grooming Pete so he’s prepared for the cold temperatures.
