Help Needed
RANCH WORK
In the morning, we pen the horses for feeding, then release them, clean up the ranch (scoop poop, etc.), and interact with the animals (grooming, etc.) as weather and time permits. The afternoon work varies. Volunteer hours for ranch work are 8 AM-3 PM, 7 days a week. Many people volunteer the entire day.
YARD WORK
Yard work is a never-ending chore, but we do our best to try to make the ranch look inviting. Bring your lawn mower, weed eater, and clippers, and instead of grooming horses spend a day grooming the lawn.
CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
As with any ranch, there are always construction projects to be done. We need help from repairing fences to building shelters. If you are handy with construction tools we need you!
DONATE NEEDED ITEMS
Habitat for Horses’ Amazon wish list includes a range of needed items, with prices starting at under $10.
